WHAT IS HOLOHOLO ALL ABOUT? HAVING FUN!

For those in the fishing community who live outside of Hawaii the word ‘holoholo’ may be new.  When someone is going holoholo, he or she is soulfully venturing out to have fun and to clear their mind. It’s meaning is kind of like the saying ‘a journey without a destination.’  In the islands you may hear someone say, “I had a crazy week at work, I’m going holoholo this weekend.”  The literally meaning is to aimlessly go out for pleasure, doing something that brings you joy, having no destination, only doing something for the fun of it.  The word has a strong link to fishing in Hawaii in the belief one should ‘Never announce you’re going fishing.’  because the fish can hear you. Holoholo became a code word for fishing.

Sharing the experience of fishing with my mom…..

When traveling we intentionally try not to get super detailed with our trip planning.  Over time we have naturally adopted the holoholo concept in our everyday lives.  We do our best to go with the flow and be happy or amused with whatever happens.  We have discovered practising this peaceful-play belief works best for us.  Many of our most memorable moments have been unexpected experiences that we could have never planned.    

LIVE SMART, BE SAFE & HAVE FUN!
