Nice to meet you!

Aloha, I'm Amy!

Growing up in Hawaii is such a privilege and most people don’t realize how wonderful it is until they’re off the islands…which is exactly what happened with me! After high school, I packed my bags and headed off to Oregon, lived in Japan and Taiwan for several years and spent a lot of time in Thailand, South Korea and China. By the time I returned back home, Hawaii was a stranger to me, but a delightful one to rediscover.

I found myself always playing tour guide for my visiting friends. We went on tours, drove all around the islands, filled up on plenty of delicious food, and that was when I realized “wow, Hawaii is such a fun place to live!” So, I decided to write it all down!

These days, I still travel Hawaii and explore, but I also love to take advantage of Hawaii’s incredible year-round sunny weather. I’m constantly working on my backyard DIY projects such as aquaponics, hydroponics, aquaculture, gardening, and cooking! Join me as I work my way closer to 100% sustainability.
