Welcome to The Aloha Blog!

Hello and welcome to my blog! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Nina! I created this blog to write about traveling, self love/growth and my gap year experience. In all honesty, this has been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. It wasn’t until this past year that I have really learned to embrace trying new things. Some of you may know that I decided to take a gap year after high school, I went to Hawaii and had the time of my life. I fell in love with Hawaii so much that I actually decided I will be going back in the fall and doing school virtually there. I am so excited to head back and document all my adventures. If you have been hesitant to try something or go somewhere I encourage you to take a leap of faith and just do it. I truly believe trying new things, especially things that scare you, is how you grow as a person.
