00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,440
Hello everybody! What is going on? My name is Lily Monroe and also known as Amy Amore

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:13,600
and I recently got back from the island of Kauai, which is in Hawaii and oh my

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:20,280
gosh I also gotta tell you some new exciting stuff. So, Winter Kauai is one

4
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:27,120
of the bigger islands in, you know, the whole of Hawaii and such and do not go

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,520
there when it's rainy season because honestly I was depressed for like half

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,360
of the trip and the other half of the trip which was like a day and a

7
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:44,280
half because in total I went for two and a half days and to get there it takes

8
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:50,560
you the whole day pretty much. So yeah, went there on Wednesday, came on

9
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Wednesday evening, found a spot to sleep in. Oh yeah, I got kicked off Walmart

10
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,400
parking lot in Kauai because apparently you cannot sleep in their parking lots

11
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,960
and it's so funny because they not somebody knocked on my window car

12
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:12,520
windows at like 1 30 in the morning and I'm like I'll just hide but then they

13
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,520
started flashing their flashlight and I'm like okay they found me I guess I

14
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:22,080
have to answer and here's the thing I was not dressed so like I had a jacket on

15
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,880
and my bottom half like I covered it with a blanket so like I had to like

16
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,800
open the door and be like hi can you give me just like five minutes I'm I

17
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,320
have to get dressed like I'm not I'm not properly dressed and they're like okay

18
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,680
but you you can't sleep here I'm like okay and I forgot to ask them what was

19
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,920
the reason because like you gotta have a reason you know it's like I buy

20
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,680
groceries at Walmart all the fucking time and I get to I get some stuff for

21
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,720
free um so it's like I can't sleep in a parking lot like what's what's gonna

22
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,840
happen like it's not like I'm trashy person like I'm not gonna leave trash

23
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,880
but anyways so I left I parked by the sport Marina thingy and see you slept

24
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,760
the night there and my car was like the back seat of the SUV that I rented was

25
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,200
pretty foldable so it was like all straight and like you could put them air

26
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,920
mattress on it and put a bunch of blankets and you would be a really really

27
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,880
comfortable so so that's how I saved money I stayed in the car pretty much

28
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,840
and lots of people do that because yeah when somebody when the workers of

29
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Walmart interrupted my sleep I saw another car leave and they were they were

30
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,520
apparently sleeping in their cars too so I'm like oh homeless I'm like I'm

31
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,720
literally I literally am homeless in whenever I go travel because like

32
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,080
sometimes like I like to save money on hotels and just stay in my car if it's

33
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,640
warm enough why not especially if it's like tropical countries or states it's

34
00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:00,040
like you you have shower like my hair doesn't need to be washed and whatnot

35
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,400
and just be in the water all day and then just sleep and it's fine yeah which

36
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,880
does not make sense because it's like I already spent money on the tickets so

37
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:18,520
it's like I'm not really saving money but hashtag girl math but um yeah so

38
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:24,000
oh yeah spent the night at the marina woke up the next day it was kind of

39
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,800
rainy and whatnot but that is okay because it was super warm it's like no

40
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:36,600
no it was like 69 degrees and I have my hoodie on and then I come in the car and

41
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,960
I'm all sweaty and I'm like what the hell Hawaii what the hell so there's

42
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,360
some really cool trails all around and apparently like Hawaii is called the

43
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:52,520
Garden of Eden or something like that some places yes some places are not I

44
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:59,240
actually liked Maui so much better than Hawaii just because I felt more

45
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:06,520
comfortable I would say I like the area more the area overall so and then so

46
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,040
much smaller and I don't know I just felt more comfortable in Maui rather

47
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:16,480
than in Hawaii so yeah there are places like that so yeah and I felt like Hawaii

48
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,880
had way more people which is what I do not like like I just want to go on my

49
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,080
trails and be by myself like yeah a few people are good but too much people it's

50
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,280
like it's making me claustrophobic and really anxious so which is why I don't

51
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:37,400
really do parties anymore so yeah but um yeah but there's like lots of good

52
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,120
beaches I found this trail and it was like lake on the one side and then beach

53
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:49,880
on the other which was pretty cool pretty cool the water was amazing and

54
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,560
like all these waves like you literally jump on waves and they roll you around

55
00:04:53,560 --> 00:05:02,080
and you're like oh my god am I gonna die today whoo but they're great yeah I went

56
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,120
to the one of the rich neighborhoods I think it's called Pritchville in Hawaii

57
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,560
and I'm like oh my god those house are so awesome and then I stopped by the one

58
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,040
of those like real estate little stores type of things like little buildings

59
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,080
when well you can talk to realtor about the houses and like the house are like

60
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:27,000
billion and million dollars I'm like I'm good I was just curious so beautiful

61
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,200
homes beautiful neighborhoods I can only imagine the whole office and most of the

62
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,760
people so most of the people that live in Hawaii so there's like a bunch of

63
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:43,440
like regions in Hawaii which is like what such a small island but like in

64
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,600
once in one part of kawaii there's farmers you drive like for 20 minutes

65
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,440
there's like all those surfers and younger people and then like 20 minutes

66
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,880
of driving and then you happen to be in the place where there's like bunch of

67
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,840
seniors and retired people and which people and I'm like this is really

68
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:11,440
interesting they're really diverse and yeah and then you drive for 20 more

69
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,920
minutes and it's like deserted because there's like a park niche one of the

70
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,720
national parks and apparently it's you can't drive past that like you have to

71
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:26,720
go around the island so which was very interesting but yeah everybody's super

72
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,420
nice as always I'm nice to people people are nice to me goes back and forth so

73
00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:37,240
until last day I went to the Waimea Canyon State Park and Kokei State Park

74
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:43,300
I don't know if I'm saying it right do forgive me such a great area I met some

75
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:47,640
really cool people they were there was a guy and a girl and they were I don't know

76
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:55,360
if they were honeymooners or friends but who are like traveling and stuff but so

77
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:01,080
I met this guy but the overlook and he's like yeah my my friend she went to hike

78
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,560
in this area near the cliffs even though you're not supposed to but she's

79
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,560
next and I'm like I am going after her because that's pretty cool I like I like

80
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:17,120
the courage of her so I basically went down this trail went through the gate

81
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,360
that you're not supposed to go through and oh my god the views it's like it's

82
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:28,480
undescribable I was overlooking the sky was perfect it was clear sky and then in

83
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,200
the background you see all those cliffs and mountains and then the ocean and

84
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,440
then all the trees around me and then this trail goes down and you see the

85
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,360
where it goes down to the other cliff it's it's undescribable like I I posted

86
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,560
some pictures on my fans Lee account so it's just so beautiful and I'm like well

87
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,880
no wonder it's deserted but it was it was not deserted but it was locked locked

88
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:02,320
for tourists because tourists trash places and you know you got to preserve

89
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,320
the island of Hawaii and you got to preserve the nature so it's very

90
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:12,760
understandable and they locked it for other reasons so but I went down the

91
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,800
tree a little bit and it's like you keep going down down down but then I saw I

92
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,880
saw the girl she was coming up and I'm like you can do it and she's like oh

93
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:28,200
it's it's really hard because it because you keep going up on the way back so I'm

94
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,520
like yeah I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go the way she went so yeah and that was

95
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,040
like my highlight of the trip just meeting the people going down this trail

96
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:45,240
and then exploring this Kenyan Park because the views are amazing and then I

97
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:54,080
went to it's called shipwreck shipwreck Beach where there were no ships but I'm

98
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,960
pretty sure if I got to scuba dive there I might find some ships and I went on

99
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,500
this trail there was if you keep going like around the cliffs and such you have

100
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:09,720
to see the the rest of the island and it gave another great overlook and I got

101
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:16,560
really tan while I was hiking and whatnot and just it's like I wish

102
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:20,760
somebody would go with me because I get to share that experience and share those

103
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:30,400
views and share the excitement of seeing all this beauty and whatnot and but yeah

104
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,160
but overall it was it was really good trip I definitely recommend going when

105
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,760
it's not rainy season because because you might get really sad and depressed

106
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,560
like me but that is okay because I I still enjoyed the trip was really good

107
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:52,120
unexpected trip and then but yeah and I will share some exciting news in my

108
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,720
