About this audiobook

What if paradise asked you to stay? 🌴

When Andrew answers the call to Hawaii—the most remote populated island chain on Earth—he expects a summer of beaches and adventure. What he finds instead is the beginning of a journey that will change his life forever.

From “extreme picnicking” on the fiery rim of an active lava lake to chance encounters with UFOs and mystics, his days unfold like a dream. Drawn into the wild community of Puna, he discovers black sand beaches, ecovillages, and unforgettable characters who open his heart in unexpected ways.

But beneath the beauty lies something deeper: the challenge of transformation. What begins as a spontaneous trip becomes a test of courage, love, and belonging—ten thousand hours that gradually redefine home, purpose, and what it means to truly live.

Ten Thousand Hours in Paradise: Arrival is the first volume of a completed memoir trilogy, chronicling one writer’s leap into the unknown and the breakthroughs that follow. If you love true stories of adventure, spiritual discovery, quirky characters, and the magic of Hawaii, you’ll be swept into a journey that only grows more intense with each volume.

Start the trilogy today. Step into a true story that goes far beyond paradise.
