23F, I have a trip planned on the Big Island from May 12 - 25. I recently heard of this really interesting photography concept: stranger sessions. Where essentially two people meet for the first time at the photography meet and their first moments together are captured, while the photographer helps them pose together and (hopefully) catches those moments of initial interest. I really wanted to get a few nice photos taken of me while in Hawaii anyway, and this honestly sounds really fun and interesting. Like even if worst case scenario we didn’t click it would still be really fucking funny 😭 We can split the cost. I literally don’t have expectations for this other than thinking it would be funny as hell and a cool experience.

Hello! I will be staying in Hilo from May 12 - 25, going solo. I was wondering if there are any good spots or if anyone had recommendations for socialization while I’m there. I don’t have any connections in Hawaii and although I am okay being on my own most of the time I also would like to put myself out there a little bit and meet new people. Interests of mine include yoga, reiki, gardens and gardening, religion (all kinds), and just hanging out and partying. I would consider myself a quiet extrovert. I am grateful for any input :)

I am nervous honestly to be doing this because I know myself and how difficult it usually is for me to connect with people. It isn’t that I don’t care, I just think I can be a bit all over the place when I talk and a bit absent minded. I would say I am naturally a super loving person though, especially to my chosen family. 

I am studying to be a yoga teacher and I am also a Reiki practitioner. Crystal Reiki in particular is my favorite. Eventually I’m gonna be a Crystal Reiki Master Teacher :3

My yoga training has been super awesome! I am doing my first training, a 200 hour program, online. I was first doing an in person program but it was a long way away and I can’t drive so I needed to find something better suited to my needs. I have a big interest in Eastern medicine in general and integrative health. A goal of mine is to create a more solid daily yoga practice. Due to my mental health and narcolepsy it has been difficult to stick to a routine. I am hoping to change that. 

A special interest of mine is Lolita fashion. I have a few Lolita coordinates I am obsessed with. I really wanna get more!! But I am planning a solo trip to Hawaii soon so I am waiting 😭 

FYI I smoke weed a lot. It helps my medical problems and calms me a lot. I would ideally like to find people that are okay with this, and maybe even partake yourself :3

My friends are super important to me. I never had a great relationship with my family so they are all I have. It would mean a lot to get to know friends of yours with time. Ideally if we get along I would love for you to meet my online friends. I am active in a couple servers I really love. We could hang out in them together!
