HawaiianTraveler | Sean Kaleponi

I hope my channel can inspire you to eat, adventure, and see what the world has to offer.

Aloha, I'm Sean Kaleponi! I’ve always been living a simple life in Hawaii, so I could travel the world and do photography. I ended up meeting my wife, Nhi, from Denmark who shares the same passion for traveling and eating.

As travel enthusiasts, we like to share our experiences (whether good or bad) and hope you get something out of it. (Even if it's just entertainment).

We can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Umm.. you still haven't subscribed yet? I already gave you the invitation to do so:)

    Wow! My wife and I watched this video yesterday and had to try Yi Xin Cafe today! It did not disappoint! We had the Salted Duck Egg Yolk Chicken Wings, the HK Style Stir Fried Garlic Prawns and the Pork Cheeks with Green Beans (needed to add some veggies). We didnt do the Dungeness Crab, I have a hard time justifying $72 for a single crab, no matter how delicious it looked! Anyway, everything was Excellent! So glad we tried it... Gonna have to go back to try out some of the other dishes as Plate Lunches. Also definitely wanna try the Oyster at Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant and the food at Da Seafood Cartel!

    Aloha George!! Mahalo for watching and glad you enjoyed Yi Xin Cafe!! Everything was ono and I loved the Egg Yolk Chicken! I can't eat Crab but I know Nhi told me she never had crab like that so I can only justify it if it was exclusive to a certain place and can't get it anywhere else specially made. Everything was good at Yi Xin. Please try Kapiolani and thr Seafood Cartel. Such good spots. Have a great weekend!!👍
