Hi Friends!
My name is Rachel Barnette. I’m from Kailua, Hawai’i. Some of my Ohana moved to Bend in the 90’s and I’ve been visiting them since. I quickly fell in love with Bend..so much so that I bought a second home a few years ago and just started selling Real Estate in Bend part time so I’ll be in Bend more often, while still living on O’ahu full time.
The Hawai’i-Bend connection is STRONG! I started noticing that every time I come up to Bend I get a random message from a Hawai’i friend that they happen to be in town too! And more often than not, when I meet a new Bendite friend, I find out that they used to live in Hawai’i or simply just love Hawai’i and travel there often. I thought this page would be a fun and positive place for us all to connect, share fun stories of Bend and Hawai’i, as well as give local tips and insight to help out newbies to Bend.
I’m looking forward to connecting with you all and hopefully growing our community to meet some new faces as well!
