when INTERNET friends meet IRL: adventure in Oahu, Hawaii
Couch surfing in Hawaii might end up amazing or badly. I was lucky enough to get the chance to meet such an amazing human on this trip. Making friends in your 20s is hard, but keeping them is even harder. So here's a real-life story of when internet friends meet in person.
Aloha Cheekas, this mini-documentary took me countless hours to edit due to my old computer cannot process 4k footage. I did not want to disappoint Rena's filmmaking skills. All these beautiful footage thanks to her!! So here are my memories with Rena. Hope you enjoy a trip to O‘ahu.
Special thanks to Jack who taught me how to edit ~
Here's Rena's channel: www.youtube.com/@UCdc8lZHOvCQC89AUvN5nYdg

    What you're doing is so ridiculously dangerous. When surfers see a shark in the water they come in. In salt, water crocodile can do just as much damage, if not more so if you literally have just watched one, go into the ocean that you are about to enter, maybe not too smart.
