Have Aloha Will Travel 123: Why We Love Winter in Hawaiʻi
Katrina Valcourt of HONOLULU Magazine joins us for this episode dedicated to winter in the Islands.

There are so many reasons we love winter in the Islands—I even wrote a blog about it!—but we decided to get a second opinion.
We asked our pal Katrina Valcourt, the executive editor at our sister publication HONOLULU Magazine, to weigh in on winter in Hawaiʻi.
We also discuss gift ideas for the Hawaiʻi lovers on your list.
Some of Katrina’s favorites include:
- Car fresheners from Jules & Gem Hawaiʻi
- Vinegar from Hawaiian Vinegar Co.
- Gift cards, especially from Wallflour Bakery
- Coffee from Grok Coffee
- Cheese from Surfing Goat Dairy
- Goat-milk products from Honomū Goat Dairy
- Artisan soaps from Kitchen Witch Hawaiʻi
I liked the locally made chews, treats and toppings for your dog from Pawniolo Pets and aloha-print blankets from Fighting Eel.
