Grateful to Be Part of This Host Community 🌺

[Mariah205]

Aloha everyone! 🌊🌈

My name is Mariah, and I’m so thankful to be a part of this amazing Airbnb host community. I live on the beautiful island of Kauai, where the mountains meet the sea and every day feels like a gift.

A little about me—I love sailing and surfing, and I actually sailed across the Pacific Ocean in a boat my husband and I built together! It was one of the most challenging and beautiful adventures of my life. I also come from a big, lively family—I’m the oldest of six younger siblings, and family has always been at the heart of who I am.

One of my favorite things about hosting is the chance to make new people feel at home, like family. I truly believe in sharing aloha and creating a space where people feel cared for, peaceful, and inspired.

I also love the Lord, and my faith shapes the way I live and host. One verse that means a lot to me is:

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”

— Hebrews 13:2

Looking forward to learning from all of you and sharing the journey together!

Mahalo nui loa,

Mariah

Hi @Mariah205, 

It's a pleasure to have you with us, welcome 😃

I am beyond impressed that you not only built a boat but also sailed on it across the ocean - how far did you go on that adventure?

Your island looks like a slice of paradise, I'd be very curious to know what kind of activities you recommend guests to to explore it 🌺

Have a lovely day, 

Emilie
