Aloha,
I'm Kyle Ellison, aka "The Maui Expert."
In addition to authoring two Maui guidebooks (and being raised on the island), I've had the pleasure of sharing its stories for numerous publications. I served as the official "Maui Expert" for Travel + Leisure and AFAR, and in 2014 was awarded "Travel Writer of the Year" by the Hawaii Ecotourism Association.
Some of those clips are available below, and editors in need of a Maui-based writer can reach out on Twitter @themauiexpert, or via email at themauiexpert@gmail.com.
Mahalo!
