WorkTrade in Hawi!
We left Laupahoehoe Beach Park early Thursday morning and headed up to Hawi - at the very north point of the island - to check out a potential work trade. It was a very rainy day even for the rainy-side of the island. The wind was blowing hard, which helped me realize just how much surface area the van has! The drive was very beautiful and led us to a very secluded area just outside of Hawi. The property isn’t a farm, but it has an organic garden and dozens of types of nut and fruit trees. They rent out the living space there for yoga retreats and the like, so it’s a very peaceful feeling place. There’s an indoor shower and an undercover bathtub too! I really liked the feel of it and the land caretaker has interest in natural farming which is a plus! We took the tour and were told we could take as long or short as needed to decide. We’ve chosen to go check out some warmer parts of the island and Kona area first. We plan to arrive at the work trade early next week.
