Right now, I’m in Hanalei Bay on Kauai’s north shore. Or, more specifically, I’m looking out over it. Let me tell you, this little gem of a spot should be on your travel itinerary — the hiking, the stand-up paddle boarding, the beach-laying…it doesn’t get any better.

But if you’re in Vancouver — or heading that way — I’ve shared a few of my favourite spots to eat, drink, shop and snowshoe on CheapFlights.ca. Happy trails!
