It all started back in 2019, when a Southwest road trip with my wife ignited a blazing travel passion in us, and from that moment, we’ve been unstoppable. Since then, we’ve journeyed to Hawaii multiple times, where we’ve soaked up its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and little-known secrets. After that, we embraced the vanlife dream for four incredible months, crisscrossing the lower half of the US while stopping at every must-see spot along the way. Meanwhile, we’ve also road-tripped the legendary Route 66, savoring its nostalgic charm, before indulging in the luxury of dreamy overwater bungalows in French Polynesia. Not stopping there, we bravely traversed Iceland’s wild winter landscapes, marveling at its icy wonders. Now, as we roam with our kids, we’re constantly uncovering hidden gems across the US and beyond. Because I’ve lived these adventures firsthand, I’ve gained the expertise to plan yours with precision and flair.

The image is a logo for "Hawaiʻi Destination Expert." It features a hexagonal shape with a white background and a colorful border in shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Inside the hexagon, the text "HAWAIʻI" is written in a stylized blue font with a rainbow-colored line running horizontally through it. Below that, "DESTINATION EXPERT" is written in bold, uppercase blue letters. To the left of the hexagon, there is a black square with a white hibiscus flower and leaves design. The overall design has a tropical and vibrant feel, reflecting Hawaiian culture.
