Indeed the nights are so alive. Thank you for your comment and mahalo for watching

Majority is Hawaiian Shores, but there is a drone segment from HPP. Thank you for watching

Aloha my neighbor and thank you for watching

Mahalo my friend. Many hugs 🤗

Maui is absolutely beautiful and I love it. Big island is so wonderful and beautiful as well. Hope you get to explore

@@Nastaran.Battles thx love your videos

Appreciate it. We are always improving it in big or small ways

My thoughts exactly. I’m planning on that very thing

Thank you for watching

I’m so excited for you. Have you been exploring different neighborhoods here? Each neighborhood has its own vibe as well as each island. I’m happy to hear you’re doing this when you’re still young. Thank you for watching and don’t hesitate to ask any questions. Hope to hear from you in the next videos

Thank you for telling about your personal story. It helped immensely. You are a very strong person and indomitable indeed, even though I had no idea what it meant 😁 I had to look it up, and you certainly are after all that. I imagine life is so much better when you look back and see what you survived and been thru. They say what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. I’m so glad you are not in that situation any longer, and your attitude towards it is so positive. As usual I appreciate you watching and hope to hear from you in the next videos. Mahalo

Hello Diane and thank you for such loving comment. I want you to know that I appreciate you taking the time to write this comment. I hope you’re happy wherever you call home. Mahalo for watching

Hello my dear San Diegan friend. Thank you for your beautiful comment. Do you live on Big island now? Thank you so much for watching.

@@Nastaran.Battles Good morning Nastaran. Yes, I grew up in Fallbrook, California. In the military, we traveled all over the US and world. I retired on Oahu. Recently made our move to Big Island…its natural beauty is breathtaking. I now live in Waikoloa Village. Exploring the beaches on west side is fun. I will make my way over to Pahoa someday soon. Much thanks and look forward to your new adventures.

Aloha and thank you for your comment. I’m definitely so much more careful now. Mahalo for watching

Aloha Jayzee, and thank you so much for your wonderful beautiful comment. I appreciate your encouraging words. I’m still learning the drone, but it’s both fun and anxiety provoking in a good way. Mahalo for watching and hope to hear from you in the next videos.

Did you see that? My husband says the same thing and he could see me be so happy when I’m there. Mahalo for watching and hope to hear from you in the next videos.

Hello Dave, and so happy to see your comment. So glad you liked the video. I had to consolidate so many things that took place in San Diego, the surgery, returning to Hawaii…. and I was so behind as you could see. I too agree that everyone and everything that enters our lives, has a purpose and a specific lesson we learn from it, and it’s all about growth and understanding. I am grateful for every experience, but some do have lasting effects on us that are so easy to overcome. Maybe one day I can touch on exactly what it was and how life changing it was. Your kind soothing words always put a big smile on my face. I thank you for that. Mahalo David from Oregon and may you have the best day in your neck of the woods that puts a smile on your face as well.

@@Nastaran.Battles Aloha Nastaran, here are a couple of thoughts. First- people want to get rid of anxiety- but the advice is: only when the activities of living are accomplished in the presence of anxiety can the desire for relief be truly realized Second-The only way to the other side of anxiety is through it. We must learn to take it with us to the party, let it ride shotgun, try to understand its origin, and then go forward anyway. Anxiety always wants the same thing, certainty and comfort which makes it a predictable companion if not a pleasant one. Life , with all its ups and downs is always full of surprises. From what I can see you are moving forward in life and your anxiety is simply along for the ride. Your awesome! Sorry for going on and on. All the best as you travel through this life. Mahalo for your kindness to all in your path. David from Oregon.

Aloha to you too. Thank you for watching

So wonderful to hear that you spend half a year on the big island. Is your place in Naalehu? Driving back from Kona we usually stop there to get Malasadas from Punaluu bakery. Very quaint little town. So sorry to hear that both of you also experience anxiety as well. Wishing you peace. Thank you for watching.

Aloha Chela. So wonderful to hear that you also live in Pahoa, and originally from San Diego. What part of San Diego were you from? This is such a small world. Thank you for sharing your anxiety story with me. It really does help to hear others, and hope you have found a way to deal with it. So sorry to hear about your shoulder, and I imagine it’s very painful. In general I am a home body as well, and feel safest in the house, but am able to be out, but the crowder it gets, the worse my anxiety gets. Hope to run in to you one day. I walk everyday, sometimes twice a day and try exploring different streets. I’ve run in to several people who recognized me from my videos. May your anxieties subside, and mahalo for watching.

Nastaran, we came from Vista. I wish I could give you my number so we can text or call, but I’m not sure about the privacy here. You asked me how I deal with my anxiety and to be honest I only deal well with it by not being around crowds.I’m a homebody. I cook, garden, read and paint. Once in a while I craft and knit. I also take care of a crazy and very naughty little boy named Quito. Quito for chiquito. He’s a chihuahua. I hope your finger is getting better. Be careful out there, but enjoy your island journey my friend.

Aloha and thank you so much for your comment. I like your technique of dividing things up in your mind. I would have never thought of it. I’ve done some compartmentalization of other things but this is very smart what you are doing. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know about it. I’ll give it a try. Mahalo for watching and hope to hear from you in the next videos

@@Nastaran.Battles Thank you for letting me know this technique might help💙, I strongly believe anxiety can destroy our mental and physical health and we need to be very proactive about it💪

Are you serious? That is such a small world. So were you turned off because of the amount of work it needed? Thank you so much for watching

@@Nastaran.Battles Hi Nastarn , I am single old female. Yes it was a bit too much for me to fix them up. Then I bought one in HPP. Seems like that house was waiting for you.

Aloha to you and thank you for your comment. Fingers crossed is all better now and I’m back to all the things I enjoy doing. Hope you’re enjoying spring in Canada. Mahalo for watching.

I appreciate that. Hope all your wishes come thru. Thank you for watching.

Aloha to you. Green sand beach is one of my most favorite beaches. I’ve been there several times and the truck ride is so wild and fun to get there. It’s definitely on my list for places to visit and film/drone very soon. I appreciate the suggestion. Hope to hear from you in the next videos.

Aloha Robert and thank you for another beautiful comment. You have such a way with words. Im so grateful you shared your story with me, and I’m so sorry about your broken heart and issues caused by extreme stress. I hope it’s under control and doing better. What do you think helped to recover from the stress and anxiety, which I’m hoping you did. Are you a full timer on the big island? Mahalo for watching.

@@Nastaran.Battlesi worked in Restaurants in Corporate Management and traveled for work non stop for 25 years. I was away 2 weeks of every month. So when I became ill - I listened to my Doctors and in about a year I was doing better. So I decided to travel for myself and see the world as I can. My Dog Sophie was aging and Ill as well so I took her on a bucket list ride from Holland MI down the Mother Road - Route 66 all the way to Santa Monica then to Redwoods Natl Forest up the PCH through Oregon to Seattle then Mt Rainier through Montana to Devils Monument in Wyoming to the Black Hills for Mt Rushmore in S Dakota then Home. 14 days of Bliss. My Dog passed after Easter that year so I cremated her and took her to Niagara Falls US side as Canada was closed due to Covid. I Gave her a Viking Funeral on the Niagara River. Then I couldn’t stop. I then Spent 2 glorious weeks in Waikaloa at the resort and Drove every single mile I could around the entire island 3 times including Kona, Capt Cook, South Point, many visits to all of Volcanoes National Park, The Black Sand beach just north of there, all of Hilo, Hawi , Wai Pio, kahola, Waimea, and Many trips to Mauna Kea - Mauna Loa was closed. Then I drove the Mighty Trans Canada Highway east to west to British Columbia then the AlCan Highway from Dawson City Alberta all the Rocky Mountain Parks in Canada all the way to Denali National park in Alaska. Then all the way north to Prudoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean then back to Canada and the Seward Highway to Glacier National Park in Montana then south to Yellowstone. Took a break and drove back to see my friend who is very ill and did the Colorado Natl Monument then Crater National Monument and the Grand Canyon. And wanted More - so I went to one of my 3 Ancestral Birthplaces - Scotland and traversed all the Scottish Highlands, inner Hebrides, and Edinburgh. I have to watch finances now but I am going to Circumnavigate all of Canada starting in Sault St Marie through PEI, New Foundland, Nova Scotia, then South through Maine and take all coastal road on the Atlantic Seabord to Key West - then all all coastal roads along Gulf Coast to Texas and then All border roads to San Diego then the PCH all the way Seattle again. Then to Vancouver - and the Southern Route to Thunder Bay Ontario then home. I tell you all of this because I was despondent with little hope. However swing the greatness of this world on my terms saved me from myself. I have now been to all 50 states, traveled all interstates start to finish, most of Canada, 15 countries. But the last 185,000 miles all came in the last 3 years and that does not include flying. I am not religious but I am Spritual. I suppose that I am a Deist as I believe God has given me my ability to believe. I do apologize for the lengthy reply but now when a person of need asks - I tell so that their beautiful spirit can find peace. In the words of Andy Dufresene to Red in The Shawshank Redemption I say this paraphrased for you: “Remember Nastaran, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping this letter finds you and finds you well. Your Friend, Robert (Bob)

What an ever changing weather pattern. I bet the trees and flowers are confused about what season this is. Thank you for your comment and for watching.

Thank you so much for your comment. Makes me smile. You have a beautiful day.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with me. It really does help. Interesting you lived on the big island twice, and I’m sure your memories are so endearing and beautiful. My condolences to you about your daughter. I don’t believe there is a sorrow greater than losing a child. My heart is aching for you. I can’t see how a lot of different issues have set the stage for your anxiety. I’m always thinking “I’ll get better, and it’ll work its way out “ but if it doesn’t I’m open to counseling and/or meds. It makes me happy that my videos take you back even if it’s for a few minutes. Mahalo for watching.

Thank you for your comment. I live on the east side which is the rainy side, but the west side where Kona is, is very dry. I personally love the rain and that’s what makes the green lush jungles, the flowers, and waterfalls. It’s important for new residents to research the weather. Even each neighborhood has its own microclimate. Thank you for watching.

Oh did you really? Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your comment.

I’m so very excited for you to be visiting. Hope your itinerary is full of things to do, places to go and food to eat. Are you seeing both sides of the island? Mahalo for watching and have a beautiful day

We have a home in Fern Acres and we will be moving there soon after I retire. We venture to both sides and try to experience something new each time. More beach exploring this time. Much mahalo 🤙🏽

Hello my San Diegan neighbor and thank you for your comment. I live on the east side of the island and it’s mostly rocky cliffs, but there are a few sandy beaches as well. To get there it’s a drivable distant, but sooooo worth it. Have you been to the big island before? Thank you for watching.

Those are some of the kindest comments I have heard. Thank you for making my heart smile. I hope you are living your best life as well and love every minute of it. Hope to hear from you in next videos. Thank you for watching

Im so glad lad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and hope to hear from you in the next videos

Aloha my Canadian friend, and thank you for taking the time to write this comment. You made my day. Makes me so happy in my heart that you enjoyed it. Mahalo for watching

Aloha to you, and I so appreciate you watching. Have a beautiful day.

Thank you so much for your comment. The teal colored one is from target, and the bohemian looking with orange patches is from Amazon. Mahalo for watching.

Thank you so much for your comment and your kind words. My finger is all better today, but I met some challenges in the healing process. You will see in the next video. Mahalo for watching and hope to see your comments in future videos.

Thank you so much for your kind words. My finger is doing much better by now. Appreciate you watching.

Your comment made me smile so big my cheeks hurt. 😁Thank you for that and thank you for watching.

Awe thank you so much for your encouraging words. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Mahalo for watching

Were you really? I’m sure you had an awesome time, even if you just sat on the beach the whole time. Did you visit the east side by any chance? Mahalo for watching.

@@Nastaran.Battles no laying on the beaches for me fair skin red hair green eyes! We did look at property in Pahoa went to the Cherry festival. Also did the Volcanos national park in the rain, lol.

@@bobwhite4748 Oh yes you will be fried. There are many more things to do other than beaches. Numerous beaches just to visit, historical sites, sunsets to watch, waterfalls, awesome places to eat…… Hope you did all of that and enjoyed your stay.

Aloha to you and thank you for your beautiful comment and continued support. May you have the best day ever. Mahalo for watching

You always know how to put the biggest smile on my face with your wonderful encouraging words. I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment. You have a beautiful day Robert in your land of enchantment. Mahalo

Aloha David from Oregon. Thank you for your comment and thank you for writing so I don’t have to worry about you 😁. Your comments make my day. Yes I’m so happy I didn’t buy the lot next to my house as I would never be able to rest. I love gardening but too much of a good thing is just not good. I had to look up the Chozu bath and garden website. Wow it looks beautiful to relax and to soak. Now is the hot soaking pool filled with mineral water or is it just regular water? What an interesting place. Do you also take time to have some tea as well? What type of tea do you like? Well next time you come to the big island you’re going to have to stop at Pohoiki again and soak a little bit as well. Also, thank you so much for sharing my video. That is so nice of you. as always thank you for watching and have a beautiful day

@@Nastaran.Battles Aloha Nastaran, such kind words toward a person you have never met. This world of technology is quite amazing- we have the chance to connect with someone and yet never meet them, how this has expanded our world, never stops amazing me. We all , as humans, have our individual challenges , blessings, heartaches and from all you have shared you have had and do have some real challenges with your health and its problems that people can’t see, which leaves you so alone in your suffering. As one person to another I’m so sorry that this is your journey and so grateful, that you show such empathy, strength and kindness to all. Your spirit is indeed motivating to all who have this blessing of knowing you! Mahalo Nastaran 🥰😁🌴 I assume your finger has been fixed? I enjoy green teas 🥰😁Chozus is so relaxing, and the water is treated water But, also in Ashland is “Jackson well springs”, and they have mineral water soaking and sauna, it’s a real laid back hippie type environment, I go there also-look it up😉😉😁 PS-after six each evening, in both places, it’s clothing optional 😳😉😊 Mahalo again for always a stimulating conversation! David from Oregon 🥰😁🌴🌴

Aloha to you. I wish one day you get to live the life you wish and deserve. Mahalo for watching
