Nyhavn We are all amateur photographers these days, and Nyhavn [Nyhavn 1-71 | Kobenhavn K, Copenhagen 1051, Denmark] is about as picturesque as you can get. Grab a camera and head own down to the canal to take your own personal set of pictures here. The brilliantly colored buildings along […]

Honolulu Zoo (Educational, Honolulu) The weather wasn’t perfect for the beach one day so we decided to go to the zoo (151 Kapahulu Ave, Honolulu). This was our biggest ‘splurge’ attraction on the whole trip at $14 a ticket, but it was worth it because we ended up having a […]
Top Picks: Haleiwa (Cultural, Northshore) One of my favorite things is getting the feel for a new town. Haleiwa is just small enough and kitschy enough to be a perfect place to explore in one day. There is one shopping main strip that runs through the town, you can park […]
Top Picks: Byodo-In Temple (Wildlife Sightings, Koi Pond, Windward) This was one of our most memorable activities of the trip, and for some reason I almost had us skip it thinking it was just some run of the mill temple, I’m so thankful I didn’t because it is so much […]
Top Picks: Ka’ena Point (Coastal, Endangered Species Sightings, Leeward) This was such a memorable hike on account of the amazing wildlife sightings. The trailhead is located at the most northwestern part of the island, at the end of Farrington Highway and impossible to miss! Gorgeous drive and interesting to see […]
Top Picks: Lanikai Pillbox Trail (Military Remnants, Ridge Trail, Windward) Definitely one of the cooler hikes I have taken and my first ridge trail, I would highly recommend checking this spot out. It is relatively easy and short (less than a mile to the first pillbox) with truly amazing views. […]
Yama’s Fish Market (Hawaiian, Cheap Eats, Lunch/Dinner, Takeout, Honolulu) With all of the different cultures present in Oahu, you can almost forget that Hawaiians alone originally inhabited the island. They have such a great culture and a unique cuisine; I had to seek out some traditional Hawaiian grub on my […]
Top Picks: Kahuku Farm Cafe (Locally Grown, Lunch/Dessert, Northshore) Even on a chilly windy day under a tent in the pouring rain, this place managed to leave a really positive impression on us. We scampered from the car to the cover of the Farm Café and put our order in. […]
Top Picks: Marukame Udon (Udon, Cheap Eats, Lunch/Dinner, Waikiki) Ultimate comfort food. This was one of the best meals we had on our trip, situated smack in the middle of Waikiki, super cheap and super fun experience. If you walk the streets of Waikiki you’ll notice a snaking line outside […]
Hi, I’m back from winter vacation! This year I was fortunate enough to visit the Hawaiian island of Oahu with my love for nine whole days, internet free. Last winter we visited Maui, which was an entirely different world. Maui (the way we interpreted it) was more of a relaxing […]
