Oh Hawaii... my beautiful home and magical playground for three years...you have and always will be near and dear to my heart. There is so much to say about this special place in the world that I hardly know where to begin. So I'll start with my gut feeling from the first time I landed on Oahu to when I came back to live five years later and ended up staying for three glorious years. Hawaii is a truly magical place. The culture, history, beauty, vibe, food, language, smells, lifestyles and people of these gorgeous islands are uniquely their own. The people and the land are proud. And they have every right to be. The islands of Hawaii are completely irreplaceable and incomparable to anywhere else. And for this reason and this reason alone, Hawaii will always have my heart.
