Around this time, two hundred and three days ago, we set off on the start of our journey into the coffee world. We had no idea what to expect and we could have never imagined or planned how perfect this trip would turn out to be.
We've stayed and worked on a total of four different Kona Coffee Farms, all very different and unique in their own ways. Looking back on all the things we have learned and experienced and all the amazing people who have taken us in, there are so many reasons for us to be sad...and really happy and thankful at the same time.
Eric and I set a goal for ourselves; to learn everything we could about coffee, first hand. And we did that and way more.
We owe everything to the people we have met here. Without them we wouldn't have worked so hard, learned so much, or have had the most fun times of our lives.
Leaving this place is almost unbearable to think about but if there is one thing we've learned on this expedition it's that you never know where life will take you next. There's no doubt that we will be taking this experience and knowledge with us as we move on and begin the next phase.
Thanks for coming along with us. It's been fun sharing with you, the incredibly surreal time we've had in Hawaii.
