I returned last week from a rejuvenating visit to the islands and feel like I’m still floating from my experience at the four day Wanderlust Festival on Oahu’s North Shore.

I’ve been crossing things off my Hawaii Bucket List left, right and center lately. I have just over one week left in Hawaii, before I move back to Beautiful B.C.
