We recently had the opportunity to travel to the Big Island. I want to start this post with what a privilege it was to be able to travel during this time. We are privileged financially, resourcefully, and in the fact that we have not been marginalized or disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. We took many …
Why? My biggest pet peeve is seeing liter on the ground. It makes me so sad, especially when I have spent my entire life living in such beautiful areas.
