Blogger of the Week: Advice2Love & Lux Travel & Everyday Discovery

This week’s Blogger of the Week is Advice2Love & Lux Travel & Everyday Discovery. She’s a relatively new blogger so let’s all welcome her!

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

Being able to grow up in beautiful Hawaii has definitely helped shape who I am today. The generosity of strangers, the humbleness of my parents, the encouragement of my teachers and the support from friends push me to never stop learning. As I encounter different tasks in life which has led me to work and live in a number of places such as Japan, Oregon, Chicago and even New York City. I am blessed to have these unforgettable experiences and want to share my journey with everyone.

2. How did you start blogging?

I have always been passionate about writing, it is a way for me to express my frustrations and helps me to become a better communicator. During high school, I joined both the news writing and yearbook teams. This experience taught me different styles of writing, but most importantly it was a way to reach a large audience. I thought that was pretty cool, so I started blogging as a means to reach out and cultivate more friendships and at the same time, be able to share my knowledge and experiences.

3. Where is your favorite place? Where would you like to go?

My favorite place is probably here at home in Hawaii. There is no other place on earth which has the “Aloha” spirit and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I think besides the location, it is definitely the people that make this place so unique. And of course, who can beat the delicious global fusion cuisine from our melting pot of local chefs.

Although I have traveled to 36 countries, there is a special place in my heart that I have always wanted to visit, South Korea. Being a softy of those tear-jerking Korean dramas has motivated me to want to check out that country. Not only is it one of Asia’s “four tigers,” it is a up and coming technological force with the latest fashions, electronics and cuisine.

4. You recently published a post on The Most Expensive Car In The World. What is your dream car?

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to own a white BMW. Why this particular brand of car you might ask, and not something like a Lexus, Mercedes or even Porsche? Allow me to explain. Growing up in the United States, I was highly influenced by the works of Walt Disney. You know those stories of Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Each story had a happy-ever-after ending because their charming prince would come riding on a white horse to rescue them. I would even daydream about this in math class (my worst subject) and wonder when my prince would arrive. As each year past and with the advancement of technology that white horse became a white BMW. We no longer talk about the horse and carriage, but rather about horse power. The speed of my car and the BMW became my horse and carriage.

5. What is one thing most people do not know about you.

Ha ha! I live on an island, but I don’t know how to swim. To be perfectly honest, I am a little bit afraid of water. When I was a child, I was somewhat naïve. I saw a cute little turtle and decided to follow it out to sea. When we were in the middle of nowhere, the adorable turtle disappeared and I ended up stranded. The thought of losing my friend the turtle, I started to panic and almost ended up drowning. Luckily, my dad and uncles came to the rescue. Since then, I have tried a number of times to learn how to swim, but have yet to be successful.
