As April continues to bring showers (and occasional snow flurries), I can feel the warmth coming back into the biting New England air. It was a beautiful, daunting winter; one that will be remembered as “Boston’s Snowiest Winter” for years to come. But I’m happy it’s over. With winter behind us, we thought what better way to welcome spring flowers and warm, long days than a Pin-Up Live! with a lot of aloha spirit.
It’s a real pleasure to welcome Hawaiian footwear maker OluKai as our special guest host this week along with AFAR magazine. The theme for this week’s Pin-Up Live! chat is Anywhere Aloha. We’ll be sharing tips, travel ideas, and a whole bunch of beautiful photos to help fuel your wanderlust. Plus, OluKai will be giving three lucky participants the chance to pick out their own pair of shoes or sandals from the OluKai website. If you haven’t been yet, definitely check them out. The craftsmanship and spirit behind their footwear is a rarity these days.
So please join us and AFAR this Wednesday (4/8) at 7 p.m. (EST) on the Pin-Up Live! board to have a real time chat about about Anywhere Aloha with OluKai. You can expect a lot of Pinspiration, tips, and stories being traded on Wednesday night, and we want to hear your stories too!
Fun Facts About OluKai:
The Hawaiian translation of OluKai is “comfortable ocean.”
Their logo, the Makau (or bone hook), is the traditional Polynesian symbol worn for strength, good luck, and safe passage over water.
The ocean connects us to something beyond ourselves: a sense of history, family, loyalty, and community without borders. The ocean is our home, our playground, and our inspiration.
It’s in and around the ocean that we feel at home, and where we live and thrive. We are dedicated to always building and delivering comfort and quality in everything we make and do.
The island pride drives everything we make, everything we do, and everything we stand for.
How Do I Join In?
It’s simple to participate in the chat, just head on over to our Pinterest board, Pin-Up Live!, which is dedicated to the event. We will be pinning inspirational travel pins to the board around that night’s theme. All you have to do is join in on the conversation!
We’ll also be pining a question pin every few minutes, so if you read or see something you like, we’d love to hear from you in the comment section of the pin. Pin-Up Live! is a way for all of us to share our travel stories in a visual way. During the chat we’ll be checking out your boards and repinning some of your items to the board as well.
The theme for this week’s chat is going to be: Anywhere Aloha! Feel free to chat away–we want to hear your travel questions, tips and travel tales!

Why Pinterest?
Ever since joining Pinterest in 2012, we’ve been hooked. And a lot of it has to do with the inspired ideas and photos we encounter on a daily basis.There’s a lot of incredible people on Pinterest, but no real good way to have a conversation–until now.
As avid travelers, we love sharing our travel tales and we believe the best tips and advice comes from your connections–family, friends and social networks. Pin-Up Live! brings the conversation to Pinterest, making it easy for people to connect and share stories, tips and beautiful images, while developing a comprehensive travel resource board that will continue to grow more robust as new topics are discussed.
Pin-Up Live! is the original real time chat held on Pinterest and we plan to keep bringing you unique travel themes to stoke your inspiration and wanderlust, so please let us know if you have anything in mind you’d love to chat about. Remember, joining in the conversation is easy, just come to our Pin-Up Live! Board on Wednesday (4/8/15) at 7 p.m. (EST). And remember, if you’d like to be entered in this week’s drawing, all you have to do is comment on one of the pins during the chat.
We can’t wait to chat live with you this Wed!
