To get into nature and help work on a series of happy permaculture based projects, have wilderness expeditions, and learn about some wild foods and live an alternative lifestyle of food gathering and sharing and gifting. To let your phone turn off from time to time and immerse yourself in the here and now, which is always new!
We are good people and will treat you with compassion and respect, you will see us treating each other this way and we are extremely happy with our everyday vibes. We are easygoing, nature and animal lovers, and understand and respect many walks of life. We protect our areas; for you and us alike, from anything but the best! Hawaii, for me, is a wonderful culture and I hope to share my simple reality with those who truly want to appreciate it. I am looking exclusively for these people. I live more simply than some prefer, and currently do not own a working car. I can usually pick up and drop off at the airport but it is not a guarantee as it is a borowed car from a friend. I have a propane hot water shower and ask that people help with propane costs if you can afford it as it is something i have to count. Please bring your own towel for the beach and shower. Please be prepared to ask what can be done, have some inspiration and enjoyment of physical work, and keep track of your work hours on paper so I can live my somewhat freestyle life with the seasons. This is not a hostel, if you only want to rent a car and travel the island at breakneck speed please just do this and camp or/and stay in a proper hostel as I have a simple, slow world. Often I dont leave the valley for days. I make food, I make up new recipes with the same ingredients and take naps, and go fishing when the weather lets me. My dog of 12 years has recently passed away and I am going through some changes and emotions lately. Hug all your dogs for me, and take them on a good walk. Much Aloha All, and Many Blessings.

This was my first time using Worldpackers and it was wonderful. Matt is an excellent host. He can do everything, hunt pigs, milk goats, catch fish, and plant. He makes his own jelly and harvests from the land. I had fun going on adventures with him into the woods and the ocean. We cooked really good food together. 10/10. It’s a valley a half hour from a large town, I flew into Hilo airport and the buses are free but take a long time. Matt’s car is broken right now and his friend came and took us for a trip. If you want to have a car all the time Matt knows some people that rent cars.

Aloha !!! I’m overwhelmed by the experience, Matthew showed me a lot of different thing in the terms of sustainability and harvesting! He’s positive energy really influenced me to adjust to the Hawaiian way of living. If you want an adventure that includes catching fish, fruits etc and eat delicious food! So if you want to leave big city life, for a moment and se things differently you have to apply ! It was mind opening, sleeping in a tent and eat all kinds of fruits ! Mahalaos
