🌈 About Me

Aloha! I’m Kirk — born and raised in Hawaiʻi. I’ve worked in education my whole life and love helping people discover what makes this place so special.

I’ve traveled the world, from Japan to Italy, and I know how helpful it is to have someone local guide your trip. That’s why I created Aloha Insider — to help you enjoy Hawaiʻi like a local, not just a tourist.

Whether you're planning your first visit or coming back for more, I’m here to share my insight, aloha, and local knowledge to make your trip unforgettable. Let’s make it amazing!
