Living in Hawaii, I have the wonderful opportunity to explore so many great beaches, but more importantly so many great fish! Snorkeling in Hawaii's warm waters has easily been my favorite thing about living on island. Along with this, its important I aquatint myself with those dangerous fish: sharks.
Read MoreKahala Beach Park is my absolute go to beach here on Oahu. I mean for EVERYTHING. To snorkel, to float, to talk, to take pictures, to read, to tan, to think, and to BE. It is so amazing. It is just beautiful clear water that is up to your knees for miles.
Read MoreBesides the actual Road to Hana, the road out of Hana was my second favorite thing about Maui. The Piilani Highway was also unlike any drive I have ever been on! It felt like we were driving through every climate from Rainforest, to the African dessert, to Rocky Mountains, the Piilani Highway will show you it all. A lot of people drive to Hana and turn around and drive out but I promise you if you keep chugging on you will not regret it!
Read MoreMAUI IS A DREAM// If it isn't already on your travel list you need to add it now! It was the most beautiful island, I mean everywhere I looked was a gorgeous view. Not to mention the Hawaiian Roller Coster Ride on the Road to Hana. There are so many beautiful beaches, great camp sites, and countless valleys, mountains, and waterfalls to explore. A true dreamland.
Read MoreThe bluest of blues water and the whitest of white sand is what you get on the voted number on beach on Oahu. Waimanlo is on the east side heading North towards Lankiai beach. The water is so blue and relaxing you can float out there for hours! Many people bring floaties and fins and play all day.
Read MoreIf you like something challenging, adrenalin pumping, and gorgeous views then you defiantly need to check out Koko Crater Arch! The attraction is located on the East Side of Oahu, sort of above Cockroach Cove! The 'trail' begins on the left side of the mountain over the railing.
Read MoreShe says she loves the North Shore...but can you blame her? Stopping at any beach on the North Shore is a good idea, but especially in the summertime. When I first saw Pupukea, or more popularly known as Three Tables, it was in the Winter and it was covered with big waves and foam. Every now and then I would see people snorkeling out their and I would always be so scared for them that I big wave was just gonna sweep them away.
Read MoreWelcome to the Island of Oahu, Hawaii! Home to over ONE MILLION people. Our little island is only 40 miles wide (thats the distance of home to Boulder for all my friends) and only 112 miles around. So really you can get around the island pretty easily and in basically no time...oh wait remember the part of ONE MILLION people? We're a bit over populated here on Oahu so our traffic happens to be the second worst behind LA, California! So this little island trip will take a good 5 hours to a potential day depending on the number and duration of your stops. I recommend starting as early as possible and finishing as late as possible! This way you can spend good time at each location and really enjoy everything there is to offer, because although small we have so much to give here!
Read MoreOh the feeling of floating in the sky above the ocean...and this view sure helps too! I love Parasailing and have done it twice now. The first was in Maiami, Flordia and the second here in Honolulu, Hawaii. If I get the chance I will Parasail over every ocean city. The view and experience is so blissful! Except the part when the captains think its funny to dunk you in for shark bait!
Read MoreWhile in Lake, City this summer, my family and I also got to do some serious off roading! While in Telluride last summer my dad, brother, and I did an off roading tour with Telluride Off-road Adventures to the old mining grounds. It was SO COOL! We knew our off roading days were not over then. So this summer when we found a few off roading sites in Lake City we were pretty excited! Even more so when we convinced my mom to come with us this time!
Read MoreAfter visiting Kahe Point, nicknamed Electric Beach, on West side of Oahu, it's safe to say I want to spend all of my days there! It's full of the most colorful coral I have seen on the island and tons of fish to match! Not to mention the turtles, eels, and dolphins I saw. That's right DOLPHINS! And they were so so close!
Read MoreSandy's Beach Park is located on the East side of Oahu. It is know for its epic shore break making it popular for body surfing and boogie boarding. Even a bit further into the ocean you will see people on their surf boards! Some snorkelers may pop up every now and then too.
Read MoreI have been to the state of Illinois many times and many cites in it. I love Chicago the most because it is such a fun and beautiful city! All of the architecture and shopping, how can you beat that? Not to mention I dream about Giordano's Pizza every month! I promise their is no better deep dish pizza, it's to die for! This was probably one of my favorite trips to Illinois so far!
Read MoreWelcome to the Lanikai Pillboxes! One of Oahu's most popular and best hikes. Views of the amazing ocean blues and mountain greens make this a perfect adventure for the day. Do it for sunrise and beauty will blow your mind!
