Quick Travel Guide: WAIKIKI

You know you have been to a fair few places when you are always asked “Have you been here...oh of course you have” and then asked for your travel trips.

Waikiki is no exception (I’ve been twice) and given its on such a small island of Oahu, I feel like I’ve got the main points covered of all things Waikiki.
Oahu itself is so beautiful, its hard to believe they have such contrasts on one small island; the beach, the city, the mountains, the rainforests. 

I’m one of those middle class girls (read: luxury on a budget) so I like the nice, not fancy and expensive but I’ve upgraded from the backpackers. I’ve done my fair share of those to last me a lifetime
