We all need that special place. Be it close by or halfway around the world we all need a place that has a hold on us. The place that feels good, has the mojo to help recharge us, that make you feel safe, that you don’t forget and often return to.
Kauai, the northern most Hawaiian island, is our special place. We’ve been coming here on and off for 24 years, since our honeymoon. We have experienced the island go through many changes, a hurricane, an abundance of water, a drought, the effect of the economic collapse, the death of a beloved local surfer and the resiliency to survive, never forget and move on. We’ve also seen a kind, compassionate, caring culture of the people that love their home. The “aloha” factor.
This is our special place, it is a part of us. No matter the situation we alway have a unique experience. I try to share what we love about Kauai with our friends through my photography of our travels and adventures. Every person has to find their own “special place” . Kauai, just saying it warms my heart, it will always be our special place that keeps calling to come back. What does it for you?
