What's in a Name?

Google's definition of hapa
I decided to call my blog "Hapa in Hawai‘i" not only because it's catchy, but also because it's quite fitting since I'm a hapa (slang for meaning of mixed race) and I'm living in Hawai‘i. On this blog I'll post details about my Hawaiian adventures, fun foodie and language discoveries, unusual customs, and sacred sites that I visit during my time here.

My perspective for this blog is as a newcomer to the islands, learning all the rules and customs of being in a place where raw natural beauty, urban life, and the remoteness of living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean all meld together to encompass my daily Hawaiian experience.

I invite you all with me as I embrace the local culture, delve into hidden and mysterious places, and enjoy the richness the islands of Hawai‘i have to offer. E como mai!! (Welcome!)
