Aloha all...

I hosted two couchsurfer couples this month...Sara and Paul from California and Vince and Marjo from the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. I am going to add photos from their visits, but will add text later with an explanation.

First to arrive were Sara and Paul by the Kaua'i Bus. True backpackers.

Sara and Paul.

The next morning, I drove them to Pu'u o Kila Lookout and the Pihea Trail head to wait for a friend to arrive. They planned to hike through Alakai Swamp to the Kilohana Lookout.

They live in Tai-o-hae not far from the placement marker.

Vince and Marjo left to explore the Northshore of Kaua'i before visiting other Hawaiian Islands. I have done over 30 couch hostings and all of them have been pleasant experiences. Check it out: Couchsurfing.com.
