Stairway to Heaven

Stairway to Heaven (also known as the haiku stairs) is a hike on the island of Oahu which consists of 3,992 steps up the side of steep mountain. I climbed it my second time last week as a way to kick off the new semester of school.

Kaua'i Round 2

I went to the island of Kaua'i for my second time this past week and had a blast. Hiking, camping, surfing, exploring - all my favorite things rolled into one.
Now I've got another week to enjoy on Oahu until classes start again.

This video really makes me miss Paris.
This is one of my favorites too.

Off-Season Swell

An off-season north shore swell arrived today so I went out to Turtle-Bay with some friends. Unfortunately I couldn't surf because I cut my foot a few days ago, but I made the most out of the opportunity by taking a few photos.

This song has been in my head all week.

So Busy

I've been busy busy busy lately but I'm still finding time to enjoy good times with friends. Check out the DELICIOUS vegan pizza we made for my friend Amy's birthday.

Distractions

If you're wondering whether it's difficult to go to school in Hawai'i without getting distracted, the answer is yes. If you can study when it looks like this outside you can do ANYTHING. I almost didn't leave this desk for 7 hours today.

Back in Hawai'i

I got back to Hawai'i a couple of days ago and it feels great. The beginning is never easy though (finding a job, starting classes, etc.) These pictures are of my new house. I didn't know what to think at first but I've decided that I like it, especially the balcony and view!

And check out the treat my sister made me before I left.
