During our 1 day stay at InterContinental Tahiti, we took a shuttle from the hotel to Pape’ete. We explored downtown, got my black pearl souvenir from one of the many pearl shops, had lunch by the pier, and sampled some McDonald’s items only on the Tahiti menu.

I’d definitely say cooking and baking is one of my hobbies, but most days I’m too lazy to do it so I try to meal prep for the week so I’m not eating a ton of junk food or takeout all the time. I’ve been getting a lot of messages and positive feedback on my […]

There’s a ton of reasons I love going home to Hawai’i and one of them is definitely the food. I’m a total fat kid at heart and there’s nothing like some ono grinds (delicious food)! Luckily I have awesome friends who are (literally) always down to eat and take me to all the hot spots […]
