If you're visiting Big Island, Hawaii there are several places that you can visit. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park can give you a fabulous insight into active volcanism and is one of the best natural attraction on the island. There's also the Big Island district of Kona, which is known for coffee trade and can be enjoyed at the Kona Coffee Living History Farm. They have the "Hands on History" program, where you can explore all the farm's fascinating 5.5 acre working coffee... and macadamia nut farm. If you've seen tattoos and would like to get one of yours, but you're afraid of the needle, the Kona Henna Studio is the place to be. The staff at the studio are masters and uses only natural ingredients to decorate your body with striking henna pieces. Have you heard about a Hawaiian luau but have not had the chance of experiencing it? Most visitors to the island have it on their to-do lists, and there are locations on the island you can go to experience a feast of delicacies known locally like poke and hog roasts while watching the people dance the hula. There are other activities you can take part in once you're on the island, so bring your family and friends.

Are you an expert hiker? The Charleston Peak via North Loop Trail is very difficult, but the views at the top is fantastic as it's only treeless peak in Mount Charleston. It's also the highest peak, so the view would definitely be worth it.

If you're into beautiful sunsets, Sares Head Viewpoint in Anacortes, Washington is the best place to be. The view would include Whidbey Island, the Olympic Peninsula, Olympic Mountain, and the San Juan Islands. That's 180 degree views of these locations. You can't get anything better than that.

Most of the conventional businesses have been disrupted by the pandemic-led responses that saw the governments closing down most non-essential forms of businesses. But Peres had never been busier before the pandemic started. He believes the Covid-19 has been a great time for him to introspect on his business offerings to assess if they are truly adaptable to unprecedented changes. He suggests this is the right time to improve communication, not only with clients but also with colleagues. It is also the right time to review the traditional 9-to-5 approach.
