About the host
Hosted by Jean Souza
Hawaii became my home in the 1960s and I have lived in on the Big Island since 2000. Hilo is home to the MERRIE MONARCH FESTIVAL, a huge international Hula competition that is held every April.
In my early years I frequently crewed on a charter fishing boat out of Kewalo Basin on Oahu which gave me the opportunity to travel by sea throughout the islands. I have visited them all, with the exception of Kahoolawe and Molokini and have crossed the channels more times than I can count.
I have two children, grown and on their own. I am the owner and operator of the online antiquarian entity, MANDARIN BOOKS HAWAII that deals exclusively in rare and vintage Pacific Isle books and art. (This interest, fueled by a bit of passion for the sea has further culminated in my "sailing" on a cruise ship from the mainland to Hawaii in the 70s and more recently, crewing from Hawaii to French Polynesia on a 38 foot sailboat. I also spent several months living aboard and sailing on a 43 foot s/v in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand followed by a passage from NZ to Tonga, American Samoa and back home. I have had the privilege of traveling on the mainland, Canada, Italy, Portugal, Japan, France and the Czech Rep.. I love them all, but there's no place like home.
Why they chose this property
After living in a Honolulu condo for many years we decided to get away from the city by moving to Hilo. It provided a wonderful small town environment along with the University of Hawaii from which my son graduated in 2005.
The property has changed much since our acquisition. We value both convenience and privacy, something that is not easily come by when one is only 3 miles from the mall and modern conveniences..
What makes this property unique
I am a lover of exotic birds and flowers, the sounds of nature and flowing water, i.e. our two koi ponds. We felt this property had potential to become our special in town paradise.
