building the house, Kristin and I were definitely not
sleeping much, but things are pretty much back to

AR_What does Maui mean for you?
SS_Maui is a special place for me. I really like places
where you can really feel the raw nature and where
you feel part of it. Maui has a really unique feeling
that I have not felt anywhere else in the world. The
Hawaiians call it “Mana”, which basically means life
force. I guess what I really like about Maui is feeling
close to nature. I love that I can live in a place where
I have access to some of the best and biggest waves
in the world within minutes of my house. I love that
I can have a farm and grow my own food and live
closer to nature.
AR_In consideration of the above mentioned issues,
is it difficult for you to even think about leaving
the island?
SS_It’s often difficult to leave Maui, but I still love traveling
to new places. Sometimes it’s nice to get away
just so that you can come back home again and really
appreciate how amazing it is to call Hawaii home.
