That Polynesian Life

Aloha and 'Iaorana,

Originally from Tahiti - French Polynesia, but living in Hawaii for almost 6 years now, I have immersed myself and fully embraced the Hawaiian culture. I have learned what Living with Aloha means, and have incorporated this Aloha Phylosophy into my Tahitian (and Chinese, yes I'm also Chinese) way of living. Now, I can say with confidence, that my multicultural upbringing rooted in the Tahitian lifestyle accounts for me being one True Local Girl! ^^*

I am currently enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Manoa studying for a Bachelor's Degree in Travel Industry Management. Just recently, I have moved to the island of Maui, and enjoy exploring all the beauties and wonders this island has to offer.

I am absolutely fascinated about the different cultures that make up the amazing world we live in, especially cultures found in the Pacific Region. Traveling is to me, the means whereby people learn from and connect with one another. Traveling teaches. Traveling unites.

So, I created this blog to share my experience from living in places like Tahiti and Hawaii, as well as uncover, and provide you with insights, tips, and things that only locals would know :)
