OUR JOURNEY TO LIFE IN HAWAII, INSPIRING OTHERS ALONG THE WAY
Lifestyle
In this section, we showcase the lifestyle we've adopted since moving to Hawaii combining many of our passions and how they've culminated together. Retiring early from our careers gave us the time and liberty to achieve these goals. Among these are the ability to teamwork together, which has probably been the most exciting aspect of our adventure. Land development has been our main activity, i.e., turning a wild, overgrown jungle into a usable, beautiful farm with a park-like setting, which also affords our goal of maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. Most of the time we enjoy working outdoors; however, sunny and hot or rainy weather are perfect opportunities for other artistic hobbies. Many times we combine our talents to create and share fun music videos, blogs and our newsletter.
