  • Staying connected to a place I love

    I’ve searched for a podcast about Hawaii that doesn’t fill time with nonsense and finally found it. I love learning about the culture and listening to stories and experiences from locals. This podcast helps me feel connected to a place that I love. It inspires me to keep pushing when I’m having a difficult day at work and it reminds me that there are more memories to be made with my family in such a beautiful place.
