Fairly new to Maui & looking to meet cool people for fun adventures!

Manifested my DREAM job cooking on a biodynamic farm in Kula, so I am focused on that aspect of my life. Also starting my own garden at home in Kula, stoked about that. Otherwise, just looking for new adventures & exploring Maui, hiking, camping, getting in the ocean as much as possible, learning new sports like surfing/SUP, & just relaxing my mind and letting the good things happen.

Cooking practically anything, connecting with people, laughing about something ridiculous, being spontaneous (road trip!), & keeping my word.

I'm usually in a good mood & smiling..

Books: 'Heat' by Bill Buford; 'The Physiology of Taste' by Brillat-Savarin; 'The Art of Eating', by MFK Fisher; any Michael Chabon; 'Tao Te Ching' by Lao Tzu

Music: The Shins; The Sea & Cake; Rodrigo y Gabriela; The Clash; Neutral Milk Hotel; Bob Dylan; Fugazi; Stevie Wonder; The Black Keys; Modest Mouse; The Gossip; Santigold; Galactic; Peter Bjorn & John; The White Stripes; Aretha Franklin; Marvin Gaye; Nirvana; The Beatles; RJD2; Ben Harper; Tortoise; The Roots; St. Vincent; Miike Snow; Man or Astroman?; Ozomatli; Matisyahu, etc..

Food: pretty much anything fresh, well-prepared, local, & seasonal (I try not to be tooooo 'food snobby', but I've spent 22 years in professional kitchens, so I have my opinions..)

1} My 10" Japanese chef's knife & ceramic sharpening rod
2} My glasses/contacts (ha, should be #1 I guess)
3} My Biodiesel Jetta (seriously, this island would be tough w/o a good reliable car & mine gets 40 mpg AND biodiesel is 75 cents a gallon cheaper than reg. diesel!)
4} My Android smartphone (just stating the obvious, these things are like a 3rd appendage anymore..)
5} Sense of humor!
6} Hearing/seeing the humpback whales (at least for 1/2 the year, the other 1/2 is for baseball season)

My future here on Maui, & getting healthy/learning new things

Watching movies or seeing live music if possible, otherwise reading probably

That I would love to start a family in the next few years.. Probably on this island if all goes well.

You want to go somewhere off the beaten path & see some of the natural beauty of the island. And eat something delicious along the way!
