Maui Like Never Before
Traveling to new and tropical places has always been a passion of mine. When I think of the word “vacation,” the first three things that come to mind are airports, hotel rooms, and the electrifying beach activities. Not too long ago, I took my third trip to Hawaii with my parents and my amazing boyfriend, Trey. Not only was it enjoyable, but it was an unforgettable experience filled with an abundance of happiness and laughter.
On March 23rd at 4 am the first alarm went off, which meant it was time to make our way to the airport for our trip of a lifetime.

Besides, I wanted to know what I was I was missing out on. When I first got on the board after pushing it out far enough, it didn’t seem too hard, but then I decided to stand up and that’s where the true challenge came. Standing up on a paddle board while getting sloshed around by the waves is as equally as hard as trying to balance on a bike while it is standing still.
