Responsive, helpful, and communicative
William communicated excellently, quickly answered questions, provided essential information & island tips, and ensured easy pickup/return.

Despite its vintage look, 'The Shiner' is comfortable, cozy, offers ample space, includes a working fridge and stove, and drove well even on challenging roads.

Aloha my name is William, I've been a nomad my whole life and am now a retired electrical engineer (closer to scientist than electrician) and have done my best to combine my experiences of being a nomad through this life with the heavily technical nature of my career to do my best to provide fellow nomads or visitors with comfortable fully off grid solutions for exploring the breathtaking Hawaiian islands. Basically I'm a problem solver at my core but truly enjoy meeting and helping people from around the globe that come to visit this paradise.
