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 …
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 …
Can Travel Actually Be Affordable?
This seems to be the number one reason people do not travel. I do completely understand. Travel can be expensive. But it can be so much more than that. I tend to look at taking these amazing vacations as more than just money. Of course traveling can be relaxing and can help prevent stress, as …
When In Rome II: 92-Year Pilgrimage in the Making to The Vatican
Around one o’clock, we took my 92-year old Grandmother to the lobby of the hotel to wait for our transfer to the Vatican. We had originally booked a tour to see the Vatican. When we arrived at the Vatican we were told that we couldn’t do the tour, due to her being in a wheelchair. …
Mexico: A Cultural Experience in Cancun–Wedding of Catrina and Catrin
For me, Cancun has always been the Spring Break location preferred by a lot of my friends in College. It had never been a place that screamed I needed to go. Then again, neither did any part of Mexico. You can read my first experience in Mexico here: “You’ve NEVER been to Mexico?!”, where I fell …
Hidden Hindu Temple in…Bartlett, Illinois?
I decided it was time to go somewhere. I haven’t traveled in a few months and I’ve gone into a slump. Sure, it may just have been 3 months, but to me it feels like a lifetime! In the past couple of months things have definitely changed at work. So what is my biggest stress …
