On May 8th of this year, TravelWorldHeritage is shutting down. Truth be told, I fell out of love with blogging many years ago, but liked to keep the blog up with nostalgia and sometimes self reference. However, as the world changes, lots of the information on the blog is very outdated. To boot, the world no longer cares of long form, researched writing and is content with made up information and short video clips of made up scenarios.

I now have a baby daughter, I own a house, and I am focused on my career. As you may have noticed, I did have sponsored posts here and there to keep the lights on, but moving forward, I would rather kill the site than sell it and see it become another corporate casualty.

I wanted to thank those of you who read over the years, who commented, and especially those who used my advice to get out there. I did this for you as much as for me.

TWH will live on in my instagram. Unfortunately, since I am a school teacher, it is set to private, but just add me if you want.

Anyways, goobye and it was a fun 13 years.

Hawaii is undoubtedly a popular tourist spot. Out of all the places to visit in the state, Maui, the second-largest Hawaiian island, is a beautiful hotspot worth checking out. In 2022, Maui County hotels saw a rise in room revenues by 29.7% from pre-pandemic numbers in 2019. While the growth from the pandemic is still gradual, it’s a sign that more and more tourists are starting to travel to the island again. On top of its beauty, Hawaii owes its popularity to its many attractions. It’s home to two of the world’s most active volcanoes, so if you’re looking to travel to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is something to keep in mind as it is currently Hawaii’s only World Heritage Site.
While the national park isn’t located in Maui, it’s still a notable destination if you want to tour statewide. For today’s post, we’ll look at the relaxing and breathtaking activity of driving around Maui, Hawaii, and everything you need to know to enjoy your drive:

80) Chuja-do Island / 추자도

Chuja Rope Factory
Chuja’s main industry is fishing. It is supported by mini-factories like this one that makes fishing rope. I am kind of a sucker for industrial places and workshops.

Chuja Island is a set of twin islands between Jeju and the mainland. This small island doesn’t get many visitors outside of two daily boats. The best way to explore it is to hike Olle Trail 18-1 which does an 8 loop around the island. Many claim it is the most challenging of the 26 Jeju Olle Trails, so try it if you’re up to the challenge. Around the island are interesting mosaics, beautiful natural scenery, and plenty of friendly locals.
