After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
When one thinks of Hawaiian music, they likely start hearing ukulele music in their head. After all, the ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian adaptation of the Portuguese machete, a small guitar-like instrument introduced to the islands by immigrants. In celebration of Hawaii’s favorite instrument, the annual Ukulele Festival is one of our favorite summer traditions, and you’ll want to head on over there this weekend, Saturday, July 21, 2019, to experience the fun for yourself.
Address: Kapiolani Park Bandstand, 2686-2882 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815
