Although Mirna has lived on Maui a relatively short time, she’s no stranger to the island. Her grandparents moved to Pa‘ia in the early 2000s, and Mirna spent a gap semester living with them on the island and returned every summer during college. In 2022, she decided to relocate here permanently to always be near her grandparents.
Mirna currently lives in Ha‘iku, at the edge of Maui’s tropical rainforest, where she grows a variety of fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs. When she travels back to the Mainland, Mirna enjoys backpacking, alpine skiing and car camping.“For me, it’s all about taking guests farther out into the wild than they usually go, helping them develop a relationship with nature, and teaching them what you can eat in the rainforest and how to be a good steward of the ‘aina (land).”
