I grew up in rural Hawaii and learned out of necessity how to make due with what you've got, living off grid a majority of my childhood. My husband and I and our two littles just spent 3 years developing an off grid farm on the big island, including installing a solar system as well as a rain catchment system. I have backpacked, often alone, in 13 different countries and hitch-hiked across a few of those. I have many years experience catering as well as 6 years as a home maker and mother of two young boys. I'm looking to board anywhere you'll fly me to and travel for a maximum of 2-3 weeks. I am seeking opportunities to log my NM as I work towards a new career at sea, while cooking and caring for some lucky crew mates. I specialize in healthy foods and am an asian centric chef. Growing up on the Big Island gave me an eclectic backdrop from which to absorb and now in adulthood, personalize. I do naturally tend towards healthy balanced meals that are colorful and nurishing. Vegan and vegetarian meals can be easily incorporsted into a penny pinchers menu or I am happy to create full menus devoid of meat or animal products. I am a happy traveler, keep my space tidy and take initiative to help others. I very much enjoy connecting with other humans and believe deeply in kindness. Having traveled to many places and mostly on foot, I have proven self reliance, resourcefulness, and contentment.
I have a bachelor's degree in International Studies, and speak Spanish fluently. I currently work as a substitute teacher.

I speak fluent Spanish, however my vocabulary could use a little work but I am more than proficient at traveling and interpreting in all situations (even with la policia). I love to cook and feed my family with foods that are both nutritious as well as delicious. Both of our children were born at home with very little assistance and I am a huge advocate of natural birth and prenatal nutrition. I make bread and enjoy messing with wild yeast cultures, meaning I make my own sourdough, kimchi, sauerkraut, nut cheeses etc. I like to have fun and joke around, life's too short and I'm through taking myself too seriously. I like to sing and know a ton of tunes I am happy to share, or not. I appreciate direct communication and don't take much too personally.

I am seeking NM opportunities to log experience at sea. I wish to live at least part time aboard my own sailboat and then you can call me, "la Capitana."
