Alexander Thomas+FollowMolokai: Hawaii’s hidden paradise, no crowdsStepping onto Molokai, just a quick 20-minute flight from Maui, feels like traveling back in time to old Hawaii—no big resorts, no chain stores, not even a traffic light. What struck me most was the island’s peacefulness: I had massive white-sand beaches almost entirely to myself, and every local I met was genuinely welcoming. Life moves at a slower, more intentional pace here, and it’s easy to see why residents are so protective of their land and culture. Would you trade convenience and nightlife for a chance to truly unplug and connect with a place like this? #Travel #Molokai #Hawaii00Share
Jose Brown+FollowHow Hawaii’s Coach Lucky Bags became a must-tryCoach’s annual Fukubukuro mystery bag drop in Hawaii is turning shoppers into early risers—and it’s easy to see why. For $500, one local scored over $1,200 worth of Coach bags, including some rare men’s styles with sleek silver hardware. The catch? You don’t know what’s inside until you open it, making the unboxing just as thrilling as the deal itself. This tradition, borrowed from Japan, only happens once a year in Hawaii, and people are lining up before sunrise. Would you take the gamble for a shot at designer treasures? #Beauty #Hawaii #CoachBags00Share

Jorge Figueroa+FollowKamehameha Schools drops tuition fees!Free tuition is coming to Kamehameha Schools for all preschool through 12th grade students next fall. This huge shift means families could save thousands every year, thanks to the school’s $15 billion endowment. The move is tied to a legal challenge over admissions, but the school says its educational programs won’t change. Instead, all tuition collected in 2025–26 will go to scholarships and community grants. Imagine what this could mean for Native Hawaiian families and the broader community! How do you think this will impact access to education and the local culture? #Education #Hawaii #KamehamehaSchools00Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowHawai'i's hero dog sniffs out palm tree invadersA specially trained dog named Manu is now the island’s secret weapon against coconut rhinoceros beetles, which are tearing through Hawai'i’s palm trees and leaving growers desperate. Manu and his handler can find beetle larvae hidden deep in piles of wood chips and debris—places humans would never think to look. This canine detective work is giving scientists a fighting chance to save beloved palms and local landscapes. If you have palm trees, keep an eye out for holes or damaged leaves, and clear away decaying wood. How do you tackle yard pests where you live? #Science #Hawaii #InvasiveSpecies240Share
jporter+FollowBreaking barriers in Hawaii medicineAndie Conching is making history as the first Native Hawaiian woman to become a neurosurgeon—a huge step for both women and local representation in medicine. Growing up in Manoa, she saw firsthand how health disparities impact Native Hawaiians, which inspired her to pursue this demanding field. Even while training on the mainland, her heart remains in Hawaii, and she hopes her journey encourages more young Hawaiians, especially women, to aim high in their careers. With Hawaii facing a shortage of specialists, her story feels especially meaningful. What do you think it will take to inspire more local students to enter medicine? #Health #BodyHealth #Hawaii00Share
Michael Petty+FollowKamehameha Schools drops tuition for all keikiStarting in the 2026-2027 school year, Kamehameha Schools will fully cover tuition for all students—preschool through grade 12—thanks to the Bernice Pauahi Bishop endowment. This move means families won’t have to worry about tuition bills, making a Kamehameha education accessible to more keiki. The school says this shift is about honoring Pauahi’s original vision: education as a kuleana, not a transaction. All tuition collected in 2025-2026 will go to scholarships and community grants. How do you think this will impact local families and the future of education in Hawai‘i? #Education #KamehamehaSchools #Hawaii10Share
EchoingEagle+FollowHawaii hoops heating up: Can UTEP keep up?Hawaii’s basketball squad is on fire this season, outscoring opponents by over 18 points per game and dominating the boards. Every time they grab more rebounds than their rivals, they win—no exceptions so far. UTEP, meanwhile, struggles when they can’t keep up on the glass. With both teams shooting well and bringing energy, this matchup could be a real test of grit and hustle. Will Hawaii’s rebounding edge decide it, or can UTEP flip the script? Who do you think has the momentum going into this one? #Sports #CollegeBasketball #Hawaii00Share
pbrewer+Followhonolulu: paradise or prisoner’s island? 🌺🌊 Everyone posts about Honolulu like it’s heaven on earth — turquoise waves, luaus at sunset, a mai tai in hand. So when I finally went, I expected peace. Instead, I felt trapped inside a postcard. Waikiki was wall-to-wall tourists, sunscreen in the air, and $22 cocktails served with plastic flowers. Locals worked double shifts at resorts they could never afford to stay in. I asked a bartender if she ever went to the beach after work — she laughed. “Are you kidding? I can’t even afford the parking.” The island’s beauty is undeniable, but it’s guarded by walls of money. Tourists chase “aloha spirit,” but many Hawaiians say it’s been stolen — replaced by hashtags and hotel slogans. Maybe paradise isn’t supposed to feel like someone else’s job. #Travel #Hawaii2111Share
