Blog of the Week – Hapa Hale

A gal from Hawaii, just like me! How fun is that?

Leigh was born and raised on Oahu and moved to the mainland for college. Trying to stay connected to the islands is what started Hapa Hale. When Leigh would search the internet she had a difficult time finding the unique and truly local Hawaiian designs she craved. Putting Hapa Hale online was her way of filling that void, being that she is now 2500 miles away from her home.

Hapa Hale not only helps Leigh keep in touch with what is happening in Hawaii, but also introduces this state to the rest of the world as well as others who have moved from here. It’s a way to help those who may be homesick feel some comfort.

Features such as local designers, great travel deals and things you can do in Hawaii are a few of the fun things you can learn about at Hapa Hale. There is also a spotlight that Leigh tries to shine on things to do in Hawaii that are “off the beaten path”. She feels that so many folks (including us locals) don’t really explore all that the islands have to offer. It’s like having your own special tourguide!

Leigh‘s hope for Hapa Hale is that it becomes a guide of everything modern that is coming out of Hawaii for us all. Take a visit to her blog and discover something new.
