Hello!

 Hello! 

My name is Mao Mina Hanada, but I go by Mina. I turned twenty last month and I have been living in Honolulu, Hawaii for the last twelve years of my life. I enjoy living in Hawaii because I am able to experience the tropical paradise and the diverse culture of the island. My favorite part of living in Hawaii is the diverse culture and the acceptance of everyone. Having the luxury of traveling to different countries, I have realized that I am extremely lucky to be in a state that is a melting pot of different cultures. I am able to learn about other cultures and also share my own culture with other people every day. For my blog, I will be sharing the amazing views of Hawaii and the different cultures that Hawaii is full of.

    The melting pot of cultures and people we have here in Hawaii is really special and I don't think there are many other places as diverse and multicultural than here. I'm excited to read your thoughts and experience living in Hawaii during these next few weeks!

    I'm blessed to live in Hawai'i and I sometimes take for granted of the community and environment I grow up in. Truly Hawai'i is so special, that everyone from around the world travels to a tiny island in the middle of the pacific ocean~ Looking forward for your future posts!

Kuliouou Ridge Trail

Image
 Kuliouou Ridge Trail - located in East side of the island of Oahu. This trail is 4.3 miles long and listed as moderate for the difficulty on AllTrails website. I would rate this trail a 7/10, one of the reason why I would rate this a seven out of ten is because the condition of the trail was difficult to go through, especially the day after it rained. Some part of the trail was extremley muddy and slippery. Although, it was scary at some points of the hike the view at the top was worth the trouble. During the hike the 4.3 miles felt extremly long, there were certain times where I considered going back down but I pushed through and went to the top.  I would love to go back to this trail with my friends by end of this year, when I do go back I will remeber to bring tons of water and wear sunscreen.

Lanikai Pillbox Hike

Lanikai Pill Box - located in Kailua. I would rate this hike 8/10, one day my friend and I decided to go on a hike and we decided to do the Lanikai pillbox. I always wanted to go on this hike because I have seen many people posting about this hike. This hike is considered a moderate hike on the All Trails website, after finishing the trail I would consider this hike a moderate as well because it was extremely short but some parts of the trail required climbing up and down the rocks.   The view from the top is breathtaking, being able to view Lanikai beach and Mokulua Islands. The trail is steep and it would the best option to wear shoes that have good grips. The downside of the hike is the difficulty in finding parking. Since Lanikai is extremely popular amongst the tourists and the locals it can be difficult to find a parking spot near the entrance of the trail. Overall, this hike was rewarding and fun to go on with friends and family.

Waimea Bay Beach Park

 Waimea Bay Beach Park - located on the North Shore of Oahu.  Waimea Bay Beach is one of the most popular destinations amongst locals and tourists. Visitors are able to swim, bodyboard, surf, cliff jump, and snorkel at the beach depending on the season. Cliff jumping is one of the main attractions of this beach, people are able to jump off from a 30-foot rock. The parking at this beach can be a little difficult because of the limited parking spaces. This beach has one of the prettiest views and it is extremely fun to swim.
