Deep read on some background on this project:
My kuleana (responsibility) as a creator, is to give back 🌺..
…Five years ago i moved To Hawaii with the
intention to learn from Hawaiians in
every way I could. The journey of this project
has allowed me to root myself more and
learning every vital element that makes up
the real Hawaii, cultural Hawaii.🤲🏽
From hula, to farming, to language, fishponds,
sovereignty, aloha aina, and more. This is my
journey with this project, my story here in the islands
and how this is all coming together in a way
that will wholeheartedly give back to kanaka
maoli, the native peoples to these very
special Pacific Islands. 🫂
Stay tuned Voyagers, because this is truly the beginning of where my true heart, passion, and soul lies in the world of cultural travel. 🌍 🌺

Hi,
I’d like to be apart of this?

[@aperezvoyages]

Aloha nui! What’s your focus assuming you’re a cultural practitioner?

[@motupuniohavaii]

@@aperezvoyages Aloha nui
I am part indigenous Hawai’i, and local Filipino(Ilokano).My ancestors were the first/original people here(Big Island) and all Hawai’i way before any ali’i arrived on our shores.And before Kamehameha.They came from what is now South Marquesas(close to Tahiti).I specialize in real Hawaiian, Local(Plantation) cuisine.And non pagan customs and traditions of our people.I can take you around if you come to Big Island.

That’s amazing man! I would love to connect but unfortunately I stay on oahu and will be leaving the islands shortly. 😞 I’d come but trying to save and budget for the pacific islands coming up 😄
