I’ve wanted to go to Hawaii for as long as I can remember. The idea of walking the beach with sand between my toes, feeling the cool, crisp ocean air and the sun beaming down on me sounds like heaven – especially for a Canadian like I who spends most of the year feeling too cold for my own good. People talk about the weather being perfect, and I completely agree. It’s not too hot, it’s not too cold. It seems to be just right to make the most out of it.

I wish I could explain the sense of calm that I feel. Then again, I’ve heard this sense of calm is very, very normal around when visiting Hawaii so perhaps everyone gets it.

I can’t imagine how it would feel to live in a place like Hawaii year round. A girl can dream.
