17: I'm feeling...dare I say...inspired? With Maria Faltas

Today I'm joined by my friend Maria Faltas on the Big Island of Hawaii!WARNING: This episode may make you want to laugh, cry, hug your dad, apply to law school, move to an island, do a work-exchange, make art, swim in the ocean, etc.Maria and I met when she hosted me for a work-exchange position a few years ago. Maria is a practicing lawyer in Hawaii, and she's one of the most free-spirits you'll meet.She was born in Alaska, though raised a little bit of everywhere. Throughout her childhood her parents often packed up the family and drove south without a destination in mind, Often times all the way to Costa Rica! Which makes it no surprise that as an adult she finds herself a free-spirit constantly in pursuit of adventure and being "inspired"Maria's story is one of perseverance, laughs, and building a beautiful life.So excited to share this amazing person with the world and forever grateful for the opportunity I had to live in Hawaii.Need some company, a belly laugh, or a hand to hold?
