About Us – The Kona Collective

We’re three friends who love to travel, each in our own way—and we’ve come together to share a little piece of the world that we’ve all fallen for: Kona, Hawaii. This site is our way of capturing the magic we’ve found here, from quiet beaches and cozy cafes to the hikes, waves, and places that feel like local secrets.

Right now, our focus is Kona—it’s where we’ve spent the most time and where our stories begin. But who knows? As we keep traveling, we hope to grow this little site into something more.

For now, we’re just sharing what we know, what we love, and what we hope helps you feel at home in a new place.

Alex

Alex is our budget-savvy wanderer who’s all about solo travel, discovering tucked-away spots, and stretching every dollar without missing out.

Emily

Emily loves exploring with her family and has a knack for finding those just-right places that are both relaxing and a little luxurious (think: kid-friendly without sacrificing great wine).

Ryan

Ryan is the outdoorsy one, always up for a good hike, a swim, or anything that gets him moving and connected with the land.
