Monica
Adventurous and conscientious family of 5, living on Maui, Hawaii.
We love the good and simple life. BBQing with friends... Being active, exploring nature and savoring new experiences with our two daughters and now infant son.
My husband and I grew up in Canada, and now are blessed to live and raise our children on the island of Maui, one of the most beautiful places in the world.
We love to visit friends and family in Washington and British Columbia and are excited to visit some new places as well.
We have a low maintenance senior German Shepherd dog and would love to swap with dog-lovers who wouldn't mind looking after our pup. He gets one 30-45 min walk/day at the park near our house, and fed 1X/day in the afternoon/evening (raw diet). He's well trained, friendly and amazing with kids.
