KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
This blog is all about creating paradise wherever you are. However, I’ve been asked so many times about tips on traveling to Hawaii that I wanted to give my best recommendations!
If you have the chance to travel to Hawaii, here are my favorite plates to eat, sights to see, and eco-friendly suggestions. As a local from Hawaii, but not living there anymore, I know how important it is to mālama ka ‘aina (take care of the land) and be mindful of those living on the islands.
Please share these articles and tips as much as possible to help other tourists and visitors enjoy and mālama the islands with aloha!
Mahalo nui loa and I hope you love your trip! -Lei
