At the beginning of 2019, I had returned from several months of traveling for work. Although it was great to be in all of those countries, it was mentally and physically exhausting. Yet, being back on O'ahu was bitter sweet. It was great to be with family and friends, but I knew my time on the island was to be short-lived with only four months until having to leave again. During the month of January, my friend and co-worker introduced me to Leona. We became instant friends and promised to keep in touch. About two weeks ago, we were reunited in Sweden. She traveled from her home country of the Netherlands with @Samsamnow. Looking back at her photos from O'ahu brought feelings of love and warmth and a much-needed spiritual renewal of powerful healing energy. I am inspired to share these photos of Leona because I believe that they reveal her essence. For many of us all over the world, these can be trying and unpredictable times. Personally for me, it has been eye-opening and having to pivot the business hasn't been an easy task. Fortunately, the warmth of Summer has really helped and changes for the new season are welcomed despite the travel industry's ongoing challenges. ⠀ -⠀ WEBSITE UPDATES WILL BE LAUNCHED BY THE END OF SUMMER WITH A NEW FORMAT AND TRAVEL ARTICLES FILLED WITH STORIES, PHOTOS, AND VIDEOS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, FLEXIBLE BOOKING TERMS WILL BE UPDATED.⠀ -⠀ Leona - @leonaschirp - Ka'ena Point, O'ahu, January 2019. ⠀ Check out her food truck business at @laihlaihshappybelly. ⠀ -⠀ Photos - @Yahnny_SanLuis⠀ -⠀ #YahnnyBlyandCo #YBCtheWorld #DASLPhotosandStories #KaenaPoint #Oahu #OahuHawaii #Hawaii #Netherlands #aloha #alohavibes #ohana #hawaiianstyle #hawaiilove #meditation #meditationspace #yoga #yogaeverywhere #yogajourney #yogalifestyle #peoplephotography #naturephotography #natureseekers #naturelife #inspiration #inspirationalwomen #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenbusiness #womentravel #TBThursday (at Kaena Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEHcNIvBI4c/?igshid=17pisft6b5mcz
