Having been to multiple islands in Hawaii, including Hawaii, I will be VERY interested in your list of things to do.

Been to Waikiki many times over the years for work, after the first few visits it gets old and expensive. Guam or Saipan is much better and not near as crowded or spensive and Once you seen one luau or hula dance youve seenem all.🇬🇺 🇺🇸🍻✌🏻

This Reminds me of GTA Vice City!! Do you have something like a meetup and travel with your fans and subscribers?

[nathanielmarks]

I really hope am not being rude but I want to ask how do you ended up traveling the world. I want to do the things you do.

[So_Juanderful]

Non of these are where locals actually go to for nightlife lol

[malloryysmith]

I barely saw bars in Hawaii last month

[Gnjh]

If you guys are looking for nightlife I’d recommend Moanis, Playbar and District night club. Hit up the strip club right after at Hawaii By Night.
