Originally from Washington state, I moved to Hawaii in 1988. After my first trip to Hawaii, I knew this was where I wanted to spend the rest of my life! I worked for UPS and Fedex for 17 years and now I am a practicing artist. You can see my paintings and jewelry designs at I love to snorkel, beach comb, quad ride, and just enjoy the wonderful warm temperatures of Hawaii and all the beauty here. I raised 4 chickens named Bulah, Chicken Little, Big Birtha and Ruby and have a cat named Snickers and a dog named Bella. I love the outdoors! I manage several vacation rentals in the district of Kau on the Big Island of Hawaii also known as the county of Hawaii. There's a saying here that the Big Island IS Hawaii. I roast my own coffee. Its available on Ebay under Hawaiian Coffee Company. A Hawaiian lady once told me, "God made the heavens and earth in 6 days and then stopped and looked around and said "Somethings missing"...And then He created HAWAII." I hope you enjoy it it here as much as I do. Aloha! Victoria
