ooh shoot! thanks mate!

Wow that's amazing! You seem to have had a heck of life, but there is nothing better than home ;). I am happy you enjoyed it

Yes that's true, you have more ways to look at it. The Zambia side is more adventurous I think. No problem it was my pleasure!

@thecluelesstraveller Yes I agree, the Zambian side has the knife-edge bridge n devil's pool..more adventurous 👍🏾

Well I am Dutch so we are used to the rain haha, we bike through it every time. But yeah travel doesn't always mean clear skies everyday and you have to use your days so you have to become creative! But sometimes it can be a challenge

You are right, I guess Hawaii hasn't accepted this fact yet haha, I see that they discovered this in 2013. Moana Loa is still the most massive active volcano though. Thanks for the correction! together we all become a little less clueless

Oh really? I had no idea, didn't see any signs about it to be fair. It seemed pretty normal to go to. Generally they have big signs but not always so it's hard to know where these areas are sometimes. As far as I have understood they resort to violence sometimes which is a bit extreme in my opinion.

@@thecluelesstraveller Being a very isolated village, Hana locals are very protective of their resources, particularly Hana. Hana is the most isolated village in the whole state and the largest population of Kanaka Maoli. So many reasons to protect and cherish. Aloha!

Ah right ok, that's interesting. I thought it was Niihau. They should put some signs there maybe, it's also mentioned online everywhere as a tip to go there so I had no idea

If you watched the video you understand that it's true and advertised by Hawaii even so.... nothing click bait just facts

Ok? explain please... Something obvious for 1 person isn't for the other of course. We are all here to learn

Still haven't learned anything from your feedback so keen to eleborate? Or just here to be negative to people without reason?

@@thecluelesstraveller when traveling you shouldn't be so clueless. ask locals questions & do your research

At least someone paid attention haha

We learn how to drive stick shift and have one of the hardest driving exams in the world, Americans would need to redo the exam here because theirs isn't sufficient here. I know how to drive. So driving an automatic on these roads is peanuts. And of course I do it when it's safe

@@thecluelesstraveller the exact kind of attitude that causes accidents. Have fun in your complacency, Mr holier than thou lmfao

I have driven in multiple countries, I always pay attention, I never drink. I know how to adapt. Has nothing to do wtih "holy" or not. In this case traffic was slowed down and I had time to fillm. Simple as that

@thecluelesstraveller complete disregard for the laws because you have driven in other places and don't drink? Brother you need to introspect a little

I never disregarded the law anywhere?? I know myself and that's all I am going to say, I dont have to defend myself to anybody. You are over reacting or looking for an unnecessary fight. I am here for positivity and learning together. I take your comment as advice and thank you for it.

Wow that would be such a unique experience! I know that many celebrities live there so I guess the chances are high to meet one. Yeah I know but I reckoned I was almost there anyway so I just waited. Yes for me such things wouldn't be enjoyable because I am just to focused on getting through and out of it and not on looking around. Once I took a boat tour to watch dolphines and I took my pill to late and in the end we did see many dolphins but the biggest memory I have is just how bad I wanted to get of that boat, I couldn't enjoy the dolphins. So I learned that it's not worth it when you feel bad, you can't enjoy it. Yes I knew it was somewhere there but I didn't have time anymore to look for it.

George Harrison's place is still owned by his family in lower Nihiku. The place is immaculate and yes right on the ocean with amazing waterfalls during rain storms. It's an amazing place!

Jim Neighbors had a place in Hana. Also Kris Kristopherson still lives in Hana. Has a nice house on the mountain. He's still kicking!

That's cool! I didn't know that

Yeah I read about the famous people living around there! pretty cool but I also heard about all the housing prices spiking up and ordinary Hawaiians not being able to live there anymore

I gave the owner the benefit of the doubt and I didn't want to leave again and pack my stuff etc, the other stuff I noticed during the rest of the week and yeah if I would have known before I wouldn't have stayed there but I figured I need a place to work and that the rest of the day I would just be away. The owner told me he just started to rent out that particular room and normally doesn't do that. He has only good reviews on Airbnb for the other unit in the front. So I reckoned it wasn't malicious or anything. And I didn't want to be that person that leaves and says "yeah all was fine" and slam him with a nasty review afterwards. So what I did was leave a normal review on the platform but I left him a personal message and honest opinion and feedback, so he can improve. I want to give people a chance to improve. So maybe he did something with the advice who knows. I am not here to judge anybody

Basically Wailea area but this was Mokapu beach for example

Yeah I gave it the benefit of the doubt because I just got there and didn't want to change immediatly. But it was definitely strange the whole week. I left him a very honest long feedback but not a negative public one. I want to give people the chance to improve and not be this kind of person that walks away and says "all was good" and smack them with a negative review online.

I think the USA is not very clear on it's own rules many times and they are to flexible with the rules. Taking right turns on red?? very dangerous because it's a window where 2 lanes could meet, aka accident potential. Also on the motorway they can overtake left right or the middle, to me it's like American roulette, Here that's very illegal. You only overtake on the left and that's it. Next to that the teenage drivers learn driving with their parents, they get their licenses as if it was in a Kellogs box. Then there is the customisation stuff, what is this? Disney land? Driving a car is serious, all these crazy things make it dangerous and look more like a game maybe. And yes walkability is non existend in the USA, I also caught myself driving from one car park to another where I would normally just walk that bit. It doesn't invite walking at all.

Yeah it was a lesson to be learned for sure. But still I enjoyed that house and the nights were great, geckos all around you. Oh yeah I people would definitly under estimate it ver easily. I made this mistake years ago where I swam to far towards the end of the little bay and was to tired to swim back. I swam on my back and thought I woudnt make it. So I learned my lesson haha!

Oh really? Yeah some places are more unpredictable right? The same here back in NL. Our summer had a very slow start this year. heaps of rain! I heard about Byron bay indeed . The airbnb thing was weird but I can adapt and I left honest feedback for them to change it.

You have a typo in there buddy...I think you might have meant 8,991 meters. The recognized height is: Source: Britanica In December 2020 China and Nepal jointly declared that the height of Everest was 29,031.69 feet (8,848.86 meters)

Yes Moana Loa is higher measured from the sea floor. That's why they claim that

@@thecluelesstraveller "If you change the rules, I win!"

haha yes exactly!

Thanks, yes I was there for 2,5 months. Yeah I was a bit ambitious indeed haha. No I did that a total of 2 months

Yes I heard it was quite rare actually but very cool. Also you wouldn't even see it very well by just driving past it. I was tipped off about it

@thecluelesstraveller no I parked and went on the bridge walked alllll the way down and no pink water. So yeah maybe just during a certain time of year. Friends of mine are going in October let's see what the levels of algie are then. Thanks for your reply 🤩

Yeah it was a rare moment indeed but maybe if you are lucky it comes back again ;)

Yes I kept my distance, I didn't want to be that tourist that got crushed by elephants haha, thanks for the advice

How is someone supposed to know this if there are no signs? There was nothing saying "Kapu" it was just open and abandoned. Why would I get shot?! I am just walking around lol. What kind of logic is that??

@@thecluelesstraveller Rule #1 - Consider ALL AREAS not marked for "recreation or hiking" as kapu! Were you in a National, State or Local park just "walking around" or were you in areas NOT marked as such? #2 - Even if you are in a National, State or Local Rec/park area, THERE ARE RULES about not straying off designated paths, cleaning your footwear, etc. Rule #3 - No one owns the beach/water, even if their house is along the shore, they do not own the beach/water. Feel free to visit the beaches, but mind the designated beach access points. This ain't rocket science, mate!

Yes it's so versatile isn't it? Amazing place!

Well normally you can unless signs tell you otherwise. There were no signs here, nothing mentioned. I didn't see any "Kapu" sign. It was an abandoned area which was once commercially used I think, something touristic maybe I don't know. So if it was holy or something it wouldn't have been used like that in the first place, there was also garbage everywhere and broken down cars so that doesn't look like a holy place to me otherwise why would you treat it like that? This was just a case of some hoodlems seeing an opportunity and showing the common problem around the island of break ins unfortunately. And btw is being jumped accepted? So in otherwords violence is excused when you accidentally go somewhere? I followed all the rules during my stay on the island and respected and learned about the culture as much as possible.

@thecluelesstraveller it doesn't matter if anything is holy. This is a lesson for all tourists, don't come unless you can respect the island. Like I said as a resident, you don't just walk wherever you want. Even being in shared spaces with locals you must show respect and ask if you can be there. There are plenty of public spaces not marked that you must ask and be kind because of the locals. It's the way it is here, if you don't like it, get jumped then idk. Crime exists everywhere but when you come here and just assume you can wonder into unmarked roads, yikes....you'll end up hurt or worse. Be careful next time you're here, I would never ever ever just go where I wanted and I've been here a very long time.

@thecluelesstraveller and absolutely you can get jumped and cops will not help you. I promise. It's why ppl move off island, cause if you cross someone they can do what they want it's their land. I've been told this first hand by mpd

I came and made friends and nobody told me about these things, that I had to ask permission? Never heard anybody telling me this, I generally had zero problems on Hawaii, this was the only one. Just about the break in problems. I respected everything and everybody but you can't expect people to magicially know this if there aren't any signs. So it's justified to use violence if someone just walks somewhere? Interesting logic...

Again I haven't heard anything about this or had any warnings about it. This is a very flawed logic and cavemen mentality. violence is never the answer, if you just talk to someone and tell them they would leave, very simple. If someone walks into an area where they aren't supposed to be someone just tells them and they leave. Simple as that because we live in a modern society and not use words over violence. So even the police admitting this is very worrisome. Culture doesn't excuse violence. So thanks for pointing it out but it's sad if it works likes this.

The road itself is the coastal road around Maui, so that's just a regular road. I just parked it right next to this road that starts a dirt track which I walked a bit. What history you mean? It looked like an abandoned area which was once used for something commercial.

Yeah, obviously a history of defiling the landscape with old cars. Let me guess, your ancestors are buried under an old Buick?

this dude lucky he didnt get mugged or killed by looters or homeless or criminals who you probably are in their "chopshop" area.....they not going hurt you......they just going to FATALLY injure you!

Why would people do this? I have done nothing wrong

Yeah right? for me it was the same indeed :). I am happy you enjoyed it

Yes it's pretty amazing isn't it!

It was my pleasure!

Yes I am a digital nomad, I teach Dutch and English online. So I can do it where ever I want

Yes everything comes with time. The system is not easy to pop out in but patience is key ;)

@@thecluelesstraveller you are very calm and patient person. Your dad is so lucky to have you in his life.

It was a compilation of many weeks into 1 video. So maybe it looked like that. But I think Americans do that same thing in Europe so I don't see the problem really. It's just for comparison and showing different persepctives. Not particularly negative

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it very much. Yes there are definitly similarities with Sunshine coast. the culture is very interesting right?

Divide who??? I am not dividing people?

Oh yeah for 6 days it’s a lot of running around for sure. I hope the weather works for ya. Important is to be flexible and not to forget to enjoy and not to try to push to many things in a day. It’s a bummer you one have 6 days but not impossible. I would do a hike one day and maybe a swim the next. The volcano early or late (sunset sunrise isn’t so different after all). Are you also doing Hana in these 6 days?

@@thecluelesstraveller thanks for the tips! Yes because we are coming from the East Coast (Virginia Beach) we have 2 travel days on the front and 2 travel days on the back, we just bought a business a year ago and unfortunately my husband can’t be away from it longer. We already pushing it with being gone 10 days total. Lol. Since we live at the beach we aren’t really planning a lot of beach time but I do have our itinerary spaced out a bit. I have reservations at Waianapanapa State Park so we will definitely be doing Hana one day, we have a Doors Off Helicopter tour of West Maui and Molokai scheduled another day, planning on doing Haleakala for sunset that same day, going to the Nakalele Blowhole another day, and stopping at Black Rock Beach on the way back so my two sons (ages 17 & 26) can jump from the rock. We have a Luau scheduled one evening, and I have several hikes on my list that we want to do in between. It’s going to be a busy 6 days, but we will more than likely never come back so we want to see as much as we can. But we have all agreed if we need rest and relax time we are all okay with scraping plans last minute. It will certainly be an adventure either way.

Ah right ok that makes sense, when you have your own business every off day is unpaid of course. I have been to the east coast in 2016, it was pretty cool! So you seem to have a tight schedule indeed, crikey! haha The helicopter thing sounds amazing, I mostly skipped on paying for things because it's bloody expensive everywhere. I wanted to show you can also have fun without paying for activities there. Considering the Luau I wouldn't pay for that, there is a big Mall at Wailea (I forgot the name) it's a big luxury mall, you can't miss it. They have 2 Luau nights for free! and also other activities. If you go there you can say hi to friend of mine (if he is there). He works at Martin and MacArthur (it's in a corner at the main square) His name is Joshua, really nice guy and he could definitely give you some tips about Maui or have a drink with him. Anyway it's smart to not over do it indeed. Did you see my car break in video....? It's something to watch out for over there

Haha yeah men will be men innit ! Haha. We always survive, maybe with a few scratches

Hey you! Thanks haha yeah isn’t it gorgeous? I miss it already

The essence of no worries right? Thanks to dad!

Oh yeah this feels already ages ago. My first impressions were very special, the country I always heard about but had never seen. He is doing fine just a bit stubborn sometimes as old people are. Haha

Thanks mate! Will do

Yes I learned that now. I just didn’t expect that much of a difference. Interesting to learn!

Haha yeah but I think many locals do that just on a whim 😂. But it’s definitely a tricky thing to do. No Hawaii has nothing dangerous apart from the giant centipede and sea life.
