“I never thought I would have a blog. Until one morning the blog chose me.  I was doing a sunrise workout on the beach in Hawaii and I couldn’t help but think of how beautiful the ocean sunrise was and how lucky I was to live in Hawaii. I felt called to create something to share it with others in the hopes that they could experience it too. I had no idea how to make a website, take photos or write posts. I had a lot to learn, but I jumped in and have been learning ever since. My blog has a life of it’s own and it has been growing and changing as I found my spot in the blog world. What started with blogs about hikes in Hawaii has grown into a global travel blog to share extraordinary travel experiences for ordinary people (like me). One thing remained, I blog to inspire others to experience the beauty of the world around us.” - Katie McIntosh
