Bernie and Maria’s home was just something else… words can’t describe how alive and at peace I felt there. Whether it was talking with everyone else in the upstairs patio or on the hammock taking a nap after a long day being out.
Bernie helped out immensely in making sure I had everything I needed and occasionally asked his guests “Did you sleep well?” just to make sure your stay was pleasant. I noticed that and thought it was a nice touch to him being a host. His home is beautiful and really is one of a kind. The area itself is home to Oahu’s great northern country side of sort and his home is within a couple miles of a supermarket. Also walking distance of the area’s amazing beaches. Honolulu isn’t terrible… but if you’re traveling alone and looking to stay outside the city, look no further than here. The home itself is in essence a hostel but aside from bunking with others it feels nothing of that sort. Everyone there was friendly and in a weird way JUST like me. I really thought that was awesome. I was traveling alone but I was never lonely at Bernie and Maria’s home. I appreciated everything they offered. I hope some day I can return to see how they’re doing and how life’s been with both them and I.
Cheers guys.
