I stumbled upon this podcast as I’m planning for a first time trip to Hawaii and have very little time between work and being a parent to research like I would like to. This podcast has been so helpful to listen to you in car rides, commutes, doing dishes, working out. Squeezing in as much information as I can between life to be able to make the most out of every second of our trip. I really like this podcast!
Apple Podcasts5VanessaMW2United States2 months ago - Helpful, practical, and actually useful for planning Hawai
I’ve listened to all of the Hawaii podcasts out there to help plan our trip. I don’t like reading blogs, etc. This is the only podcast that was genuinely helpful and real. Brian gives practical advice that feels easy to follow and not overwhelming. I also liked that he talks about more than just where to go. He shares helpful context about Hawaiian culture and respect for the islands. It feels honest and genuinely useful. Definitely worth listening to if you’re planning a Hawaii trip.
