my
story

Hello! My name is Adrian  the content creator (and full time Registered Nurse) behind the blog. I ultimately created Aloha Adrian to serve as a resource for those looking to get outdoors. When I first started getting into hiking/backpacking myself, I really had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know what gear to get, how to find trails, or how to safely execute sleeping in the back country. 

I learned very quickly that influencers I followed on social media really only hi-lighted the glamorous parts of traveling, being sure to obscure the research, preparation and (a lot of times) exact locations of destinations to keep them exclusive.

For this reason, travel blogs became very important to me. They served as both a way to learn about the outdoors and find exotic places to explore.

About
Aloha adrian

This space will serve as a window into my honest thoughts and raw experiences, many of which, can not be portrayed through a single social media post. As much as this space is for you, it is also very much for me. I will be sharing some of my favorite adventures (the good parts and the bad) along with valuable travel tips I’ve learned through my experiences.

My Person

My boyfriend, Matt, currently a product manager at GoPro, has played a huge role in helping me learn photography and photo editing over the years. As a fellow outdoor enthusiast, many of the photos you will see on this blog were taken in collaboration with him. You can view his work here.
