I recently took a trip to Hawaii, and one thing that is important to me is truly learning about the culture. During my trip, I had the chance to speak to a few natives and locals. From what I learned, like this woman here, many of them are very kind and welcoming, despite the hardships they have experienced. The only thing they ask is to show respect for the culture, people, and land. That being said, I know people who are equally upset about tourism and its consequences. People are being priced out of Hawaii, and to be honest, it breaks my heart as I personally believe people should have the right to their homeland. Nevertheless, it is interesting to meet some locals who, despite their suffering, are still very welcoming to tourists. #hawaii #travellife #nativehawaiian #intercultural
