About us

Mahalo for visiting!  Aloha wanders means many things to us, and serves as our creative outlet and marketplace for all things that we either make, collaborate and connect with.  It’s genuine interactions with our products and customers that make running this small business so rewarding.  We thank you for your support and please know that it really does allow us to keep accomplishing our dreams.  We honestly strive to serve as a beacon of light and hope, for entrepreneurship and the possibilities of self-healing and manifestation. 

A reminder to disconnect to reconnect.   (In the many forms it may be).

 

A bit of backstory.  

 

Chelsea and Adam have always had a zest for life and adventurous personalities.  Destiny brought them together in 2016 and they have been inseparably enjoying life together ever since.  Motivated to travel and gain new perspectives on the world outside Hawai’i they worked hard to save and create awe inspiring bucket list itineraries and experiences around the world, with plans for many more!  The plandemic years caused them to focus more on exploring and connecting with home, which has proved to have a profound impact on their ever-growing love for these islands, the Hawaiian culture, and kaima ‘aina. 

 

What motivates us?

 

We spent the early years of our relationship working jobs that didn’t afford us the amount of free time together and expendable income that we were satisfied with, and that would allow us to accomplish our goals.  We wanted to be more in control of our time and have the ability to go traveling and return on our own schedule without much hassle.  We started brainstorming the idea of starting a small business together and thinking through our business concept.  We love the idea of mutually beneficial working relationships, and have a strong desire to lift up and give a platform (that may otherwise not be there) for other local small businesses. 

 

 Our product mix evolved naturally and almost miraculously, where the puzzle pieces were magically coming together over the year of 2023.  It was almost as if who we are as people, what we would love to represent, and where were headed came together to create a market booth and now website that we call Aloha Wanders. 

 

Looking ahead…

 

The response we’ve gotten from so many awesome customers in our first year has been nothing short of incredible and blessed.  We really have enjoyed meeting the many twin souls, free spirits, and people of all sorts that we’ve had the pleasure of interacting with thus far.  We go home at the end of every single market day with a full heart of gratitude for the connections made and aloha shared.  We’ll allow this business to evolve naturally with time and as we feel =). Mahalo for being a part of the ride.
