Not all of Hawaii is palm trees and beaches. Hawaii has many microclimates. You can be laying out on the beach sipping a Mai Thai, and the next minute be on your way to the mountains, sipping hot chocolate in the lodge. I fell in love with Kauai after exploring Kōke’e State Park. “This is the place for me”. Between elevation, endless hikes, breathtaking views, waterfalls to redwood trees, it has everything I need to cure my California crave.
