4 Places To Visit in Maui, Hawaii
Katherine Yochum

Anyone who has been to Maui- or any of the Hawaiian Islands- know how beautiful they are. Located over a thousand miles away from land in any direction, the Hawaiian Islands are right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This isolation has led to the islands, and Maui, in particular, is home to some of the most beautiful shores. Moreover, they definitely know that besides the incredible views, Maui hosts a plethora of exciting experiences. From horseback riding or surfing to ATV tours or cliff jumping, there are so many adventures to go on that will give you priceless memories. Beyond just the adventures, though, Maui offers a chance to truly get away.

The road to Hana

The Road to Hana (also known as the Hana Highway), stretches around the eastern side of the island of Maui, and boasts stops to take in the views, beaches (such as black sand beaches) and plenty of fresh banana bread stands. Take a day and drive down the highway, and stop when you want. The best way to experience the Hana highway is when you aren't rushed.

Hiking in Kaanapali

If you want to spend a day hiking, Kaanapali its one of the best places to do it. If you start at the epicenter of places to stay and shop in Kaanapali and drive a bit further up the coastline, a series of winding roads will take you to several places to park and climb down to see the cliffs. The route itself is breathtaking, but the blowholes and cliffs of the area make it worth the drive. Make sure you wear shoes that are durable- you'll need something with traction as the cliffs themselves are dangerous if you get too close to the edge.

Kapalua ziplines

There are so many places to zip line around Maui, so you can't really go wrong, but Kapalua added a bit of hiking and amazing views, as well as a personal experience that other companies would be hard-pressed to beat.

Black Rock Cliff jumping

Black Rock, a place in Kaanapali which is exactly what it sounds like- a giant black cliff which is the perfect height for jumping off of into to crystal clear ocean. It looks terrifying, but for any thrill-seekers out there- it is well worth your initial doubts.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
