MEET YOUR HOST(s):
We are the Pittarelli Family, Aimee & Chris, and we have 3 children, 1 girl and 2 boys, Sophia 10, Alex 7, and Andy 5. After Chris retired from the US Coast Guard, we rented our Florida house out and spent the last year world schooling. We have visited over 21 countries in the last year, and were able to attend 2 Pop Ups, and had a wonderful time. The first two months we spent in the Malaga area, we fell in love with it, everything from the nightlife to the kids’ activities, and the beautiful beaches. We decided to make Malaga permanent, enrolled our children in school, have a house in Benalmádena, and share our love of this part of the country with others.
LODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS:
Many of our activities will take place near Málaga Centro & Centro Histórico. Staying in this area will be central to the events on our itinerary. However, Malaga is well connected via train. Choosing accommodations anywhere along the train line will be convenient for accessing our activities. The host family will be staying southwest of Málaga in Benalmádena past Torremolinos.

MEET YOUR HOST:
We are a traveling family of four – Nadine, David, Vaughn (age 10) and Sofia (age 3). David works in Cybersecurity, I work with my children, Vaughn is into English horseback riding, flag football, & engineering, while Sofia is entranced with the color pink, sparkles, play makeup, & costumes. At the moment we live in Marathon, Texas (entrance to the Big Bend National Park) and love it in West Texas.
LODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS:
For a centralized location we suggest lodging on and near Waikiki Beach. The host family will be based just a couple of blocks from the beach as Waikiki is central to nearly all of the activities on our list. Many of our activities will be walkable from this area and those few trips away will be a max 30 minute drive (or ~1 hr bus) from this downtown location. Also note there are lots of grocery options nearby – both local stores and Costco all under 20 minutes.
TRANSPORT
Oahu is an island with public transportation options, rental cars, taxis/Ubers, and is also walkable. Most activities will be max 30 minutes from Waikiki. Car rentals can be expensive but you also have the option of daily rentals so you can be a bit more spontaneous. It will really be personal choice for how you travel to the activities farther away. For example, Waikiki Beach to the Bishop museum is 17 minutes by car and about an hour by public transport ($3 one way, discounts for children if you buy the HOLO card at the transit office).
