This itinerary covers the island of Oahu, HI and is perfect for anyone who is looking for more of adventurous trip than a relaxing vacation (though we definitely did lounge on the beach some.... because how can you not!) This was one of my first big trips with my boyfriend, and we did not have a ton of extra funds to spare at the time. We wanted to do something epic together for our one year anniversary, so we booked a Hawaiian escape for 4 short but very sweet days! We were even face to face with a tiger shark named Roxie (sans cage) at 7 AM on the day of our one year anniversary, so I would say we accomplished our goal of an epic first trip, and I am so excited to share exactly what we did in our few days there. Save yourself the time of researching it all and planning everything alone! This guide is perfect for on-the-go couples, friends, or groups looking to really experience all that this little island has to offer beyond just the beaches and city.

Outside of the capital of Līhue, there are four main regions - the East Side, the North Shore, the South Shore and the West Side. This guide will include activities and recommendations for the East, North and South. While the regions are easy to travel between, we recommend staying on the island for at least one week to really explore them all.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 sharing my highlights from the "Hawaii of Korea" ᯓᡣ𐭩 𝐉𝐞𝐣𝐮 (제주) is home to golden beaches, turquoise water, and winding coastal trails. The island is recognized for its iconic black sediment, which are the outcome of volcanic activity on the island that occurred millions of years ago when the island was created! This place is also a popular retreat destination for couples. The island's terrain is honestly to die for. I would drive through Jeju's valleys and oceanside roads all day, every single day, if I could. Aside from Jeju being literally a paradise, it is also insanely cheap (<$100) to fly to Jeju from Seoul. For a peek at my Jeju adventures, feel free to check out my 𝐓𝐢𝐤𝐭𝐨𝐤 @𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐮𝐨𝐨

Okinawa, Japan holds a huge piece of my heart. The culture is absolutely incredible, and the people are so selfless. I have fallen in love with this place. Navigating this unique culture was a little intimidating at first but definitely worth it!! After multiple visits myself, I hope to be able to help others feel confident in navigating this incredible journey. Okinawa is a small island off mainland Japan. Think of it as “the Hawaii of Japan”. Beaches galore, shopping, and great food! The sea walls are fascinating to me.

Welcome to the Azores, a group of nine volcanic islands and an autonomous region of Portugal in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Often referred to as the "Hawaii of Europe," these islands will amaze you with their breath-taking scenery, adorable towns, and many unique activities. The Azores are still an off-the-beaten-path destination, so you'll enjoy a quiet and nature-filled escape without compromising on wonderful food and experiences. This guide is a full five-day itinerary that will introduce you to the Green Island of the Azores, Sao Miguel - the easiest island to get to and around, and the largest and most populated of the nine. Five days is the perfect amount of time to see all sides of the island at a relaxed pace, with flexible time to do what you're most excited about - hiking, eating & drinking wine, swimming in hot springs, etc. The itinerary is based around having a car to drive around the island (and I include information about how to rent one!). For each of these five days, I give you a full list of recommended activities based on the must-see sights and attractions of Sao Miguel, from exploring historic Ponta Delgada, getting to the best viewpoints over the island's iconic lakes and coasts, going whale watching, relaxing in natural thermal hotsprings, and having wonderful dining experiences. I've included options based on your interests (relaxation, nature, culture), so it's easy to pick just one if you want a slower pace, or scale up if you're the kind of traveler who wants to do it all. I also provide recommended restaurants, bars, and accommodations around the island where you'll be staying. There's truly something for everyone in Sao Miguel, and with this guide, you'll have the perfect foundation and ease of mind to make the trip your own!

Maui has a lot on offer for first timers. To me, Maui is more of a "resort" based island, is very family friendly, has some great, unique activities and it's own take on Hawaiian cuisine. Don't forget the banana bread! You could easily spend a week exploring. I think of Maui from a geographical standpoint and there are 4 key areas to explore: Kaanapali in the north west, Kihei in the south west, Hana in the north east, and Kahului/Haleakala in the middle. The first two are more centralized with hotels/places to stay and the other 2 are easy day trips. 4-5 days is ideal for exploring Maui for the first time!
