About me:




My name is Bud and yes I am a traveling gnome.

I am the "Official Gnome Ambassador of Puna Hawaii". All the details are on my website.

I am traveling from person to person via the postal system and spending a few days with my hosts - then it's off to the next person! In some cases they are known to me and most are complete strangers...until I meet them that is!

www.PunaGnome.com

Puna is located on the east side of the island and is a very lush tropical paradise in some areas and desolate lava fields in others. It is one of 9 districts on the island of Hawaii. The not touristy area.

This site is just gonna keep growing and getting more interesting. The photos in the slide show below were taken by the people he has visited.

..
Who I'd like to meet:
You. But before you ask to participate please go to my website and look at the FAQ and my current itinerary. It may be months or even a year before I can visit you.

Bud wanted me to stop by and let you know that he arrived safely in Vermont. Luckily he made it just in time before another big snowfall. So far this year we've gotten over 100". Maybe we'll go sledding or tap a maple tree while he's here. :)
