Today we talk with BRIAN BERUSCH, a story teller who’s had numerous creative works appear in some of the world’s leading consumer magazines. He’s consulted for popular brands in hospitality and media  as a Publisher, Producer, Screenwriter and On-air correspondent.

A lot of people just go through the motions when on vacation and just behave like “tourists”.  Brian shares with us the concept of being The Traveler, not the Tourist  espcially when traveling for work and writing assignments. We agree with that when it comes to visiting Hawaii too;  bring the approach as Brian suggests, don’t discover new places as a Tourist, but as a Traveler who visits new locations with a desire to grow and learn from the local culture and people.  Invest in the community and you’ll feel more a part of it than a Tourist does who leaves no impact on the place they just left.  One of the best things about living or visiting Hawaii is the impact you leave behind while here or after you leave.
