Q & A With Nani

Day Tripper, Mizu Travel Mug, ‘Ohana Pareo, all of the new coldies and of course pouches!

I am obsessed with and collect miniatures (specifically from the gachapon machines in Japan).

To me, House of ALOHA is a community of people who share the love of travel, adventure, and fun! Many of us have the connection to Hawai’i that brings us all together and helps strengthen our bond.

I use ALOHA Collection every single day in my work life. As a photographer, ALOHA Collection is one brand that’s been incorporated into my workflow. I use Mini Pouches to store my memory cards, batteries, and other camera accessories. When I’m bringing my gear to the beach I like to store my camera in a Max Pouch wrapped in a Pareo (a little on the dangerous side, but it does the trick!

I never travel without ALOHA gear. If you don’t already, compartmentalizing your belongings in your luggage changes the game. I use MAX and Mid Pouches in my suitcases and Mini and Small Pouches in my travel backpack. When I go on day trips interisland, I throw everything into my Day Tripper and I’m set! I also never travel without a Pareo, it’s so versatile and it always comes in handy no matter where I am in the world.
