In reply to Natalie. Aw, I'd love to hear about it if you do go! Such a unique experience and one I feel kids would love!

What an interesting experience. We travel with the kids and love the opportunity to teach them about new things from how to read a map to appreciating cultures around the world. Getting your hands dirty…figuratively and literally as in this case, is the best way to experience another culture. We have only taken the kids to the big island and would love to go back. This activity would be number one on our list!

That’s amazing — I might just find myself in the same position someday 🙂 I often fantasize about “retiring” from nomad life in Hawaii!

I know exactly what you mean about it being hard to put into words. Hawaii is such a special place. I arrived here 20 years ago on holiday and just couldn’t leave. It’s such a beautiful and fascinating place. Love that you are encouraging people to volunteer here!

I can see why — I’d be proud to call Hawaii home too! I think this experience is one of the greatest you can have on Maui simply for the opportunity to meet such a warm family and learn so much about the island’s history and culture. I’ll be there next time I’m back for sure!

Hi there Alex,

I’m glad you got to check out the Cultural Lands and I just wanted to extend a warm mahalo out to you for volunteering and spreading the word about cultural awareness. Our islands are our pride and joy and it’s always nice to see someone caring enough to take the time out of their schedule to volunteer. Props!

Best regards,
Jamin

What a great trip you had! Hawaii is amazing! So many of my friends are inviting me to go see this amazing land. What you do is great. I am from Colorado and loving the mountains but what a great view if you have a match of the mountains and the beaches. I am so ready to see Hawaii! 🙂

In reply to Karen. Hey Karen! I don't use any special filters on my lens, but I do tinker in Photoshop. Often I download different free Photoshop Action packs and play around with them. Not sure which I used on these photos specifically but I love to play :) Hope that helps!

Hi Alex! I love the color (vintage?) tint in all of your pictures. I don’t even know what you would call it. Is that effect after you edit the pictures, or when you take the pictures with a certain camera lends? Thanks!
