SCOTT & MELISSA

SCOTT & MELISSA

Melissa and Scott met in 2010. ?After dating long-distance for almost a year, she decided to make the move to Hawaii and they immediately immersed themselves in the magic of “the land.” ?Melissa moved in (if it’s possible to “move in” to a tent) with Scott on his north shore property. ?At the time, he was working as a renewable energy developer and learning everything he could about the complexities of off-grid development. ?Melissa was working in video production and spent all of her spare time working on,?and gaining an appreciation for the piece of dirt that she and Scott eventually developed into an off-grid, environmentally responsible, food-producing property.?Think: Melissa rocking the bulldozer while Scott engineers the solar.

After finishing construction on the house, they realized they yearned for adventure beyond the land so they invested in a catamaran and sailed from California down to the South Pacific, where they’ve been ever since.

Just your average, everyday lifestyle, right? But it’s not just what they do that makes Scott and Melissa remarkable: it’s the way they do it. They focus on creativity and exploration in an attempt live a more mindful,?healthy lifestyle. ?They believe enthusiasm is infectious and want to share this passion with others.
