Everything Wrong with Don't Come to Hawaii Social Media Posts (as a local)

I recently came across an opinion piece entitled, “Hawaii is not and will never be your vacation ‘paradise’” and I wanted to provide commentary as a local who grew up in Hawaii and is currently living here because some of the statements made in the article are pretty bold. More importantly, that opinion is but one opinion. There are many more.

I hope people outside of Hawaii understand that not all locals have such strong opposition to tourists visiting Hawaii. It seems that one of the most vocal narratives online about Hawaii is that locals don't want tourists to come for a myriad of reasons. So I thought I'd provide another opinion about visitors coming to Hawaii.

We hear the term sustainable tourism and I think defining that term with well-defined benchmarks is key. Because until Hawaii figures out other economic industries that can work in Hawaii in the long-term, locals will continue to live in a state fueled by tourism.

The Burning Man They DON'T Want YOU To See! (RARE FOOTAGE)

Burning Man is an annual festival held in the Black Rock Desert on the barren playa in Nevada, claiming to be the world's largest Leave No Trace event. For one week, 80,000 people gather to camp out and create an experimental city known as Black Rock City. Today, we travel to the location of Burning Man 2019 to conduct an investigation into what they leave behind. What we found was SHOCKING...

In this documentary, we cover the aftermath of the Burning Man festival: from around the area of Reno, Nevada to the environment around the Black Rock Desert, this is the impact of 80,000 people camping at Burning Man in the Nevada desert.

Hawaii, 1952

A really interesting newsreel profile of Hawaii from 1952, when the territory was trying to become the 49th State. Although the history of the islands is whitewashed, this nevertheless is quite fun to watch.

Aloha, from my 50th and FINAL U.S. State - Hawaii! I (purposely) saved one of the best states for last, and I did it in my 31st birthday with my fiancé!

We spent 4 days in Maui, and I thought that it would be fun to document everything and share how expensive it is to travel here as NORMAL tourists. I think you will be shocked by how much we spent… but it was all worth it!

Now I’m planning a Eurotrip this summer, and all I can say is that travel (in general), is 2-3X as expensive as it was pre-pandemic. So just prepare yourselves if you plan to go anywhere!

Nu’uanu Pali Lookout. #hawaiianculture #history #oahu #hawaii

The Nuʻuanu Pali was the site of the Battle of Nuʻuanu, one of the bloodiest battles in Hawaiian history, in which Kamehameha I conquered the island of Oʻahu, bringing it under his rule. In 1795 Kamehameha I sailed from his home island of Hawaiʻi with an army of 10,000 warriors, including a handful of non-Hawaiian foreigners. After conquering the islands of Maui and Molokaʻi, he moved on to Oʻahu. The pivotal battle for the island occurred in Nuʻuanu Valley, where the defenders of Oʻahu, led by Kalanikūpule, were driven back up into the valley where they were trapped above the cliff. Kamehamehaʻs warriors forced Maui Chief Kalanikupule's men to their deaths off of the cliff. Roughly 400 warriors died in this battle. After this battle, Kapanui recited a Hawaiian chant as a sign of respect to those who have died there.

The Curse of Hawaii

Post offices in Hawaii receive volcanic rocks with no return address from around the world. Every local knows not to take volcanic rock or anything from Hawaii's North Shore, but tourists don't! They find themselves there on holiday and want a little collectible, but little do they know they're bringing back a curse. They find themselves wrapped up in bad luck until they realize it was because they stole some of Hawaii's land. They send the rocks back in an effort to get rid of the bad luck. Meanwhile, Hawaiian post offices end up with boxes and boxes or rocks every year.
