Here are some fun things you can do with your loved one, or your friends, this Valentine’s Day on O’ahu.
One Year in Hawaii: Moving and Learning
I suppose I should begin with Alooooooooooha! On August 22, 2019 I moved to Hawaii. Yes, it’s been over a year since I’ve posted, and I’m going to try and not make that mistake again. Moving to a new place is exciting and complicated, and your whole mind is flooded with everything that you have …
My Favorite 12 Places to Eat in Oahu
Traveling and food always go hand in hand. You cannot fully get a grasp of a place without checking out the local cuisine. And Hawaii has it all! While there are so many restaurants to choose from, these are my top favorites. Not all of them will be on your Tourist Guide–but eat like a …
Finding Your Best Airport
Living near an airport is one of the best and the worst things in my life. I live right by General Mitchell International Airport (Milwaukee Airport, Mitchell International, I think right now they’re talking about changing the name of it again.). Yes. An International airport, walking distance from my house. I used to work on …
Vacation: Do you need it?
If you’re like me, you probably work full time. Or work enough jobs and hours where you technically work full time. We all know that our vacation days and weekends are sacred. The way my vacation time works is it’s in a “bank”. It is used for Vacation, Illness, and Personal. Which some people think …
Rising From The Ashes: Notre Dame
As I work on my upcoming blog post about how Studying Abroad Changed The Whole Course of My Life, I couldn’t concentrate. The place that had forever changed my life had been on fire this past week. And as I’m a continent away, I feel it. I watched as this miraculous Cathedral built over the …
Unplugged Weekend Away
As soon as we packed the car up I relaxed in the passenger seat (which I never get to sit) as we made our way to Kishauwau in Tonica, Illinois (about a 2.5 hours away from Milwaukee) to enjoy some time out with nature. As a nice birthday gift, my Mom and I went for …
24 Hours in Seattle
Of course, it was supposed to be 48 hours, but flying standby sometimes doesn’t work the way you want it to. I got delayed leaving Milwaukee, but when the plane took off I got on the flight and spent the night in Denver. Just trying to find a place that was within my budget, close …
My First Love: An Island that has been Destroyed
When I was a child I fell in love with an Island, my first Island. I fell in love with the humidity that frizzed my wavy hair into curls, I fell in love with the family I had just met, I fell in love with the ocean. From that first time, I knew that my …
“You’ve NEVER been to Mexico?!”
This is the response I get constantly when Mexico comes up. I know Mexico very well; hotel, resorts, restaurants, places to go around town, things to do, etc. But yet I have never gone. Mexico was one of those Spring Break-y places, people went to to go get drunk, and where people got married. I’m …
