One question I’m asked, What’s it Like to Living in Hawaii?
This is a sparkly topic. And I’m working on a book so you can learn how to do it.
Many people want to move here but just don’t know where to start.
My advice is: sell everything, get your own business going or try to get a job before you come, and be open to have your life change dramatically.
You’ll encounter unusual food, daily rainbows, a variety of cultures, and stunning beaches. Those are reasons enough for me to live in Hawaii. But check out an island before making it your home. Don’t do what I did, which is come to Oahu after never having been on the island.
This style is not for the faint of heart. Do a discovery trip first and then decide.
But I did visit Maui 5 times before landing solo on Oahu in Honolulu so my heart always yearned for the Hawaiian Islands.
I lived on 3 islands in the 3 years I lived in Hawaii.
Oahu, Big Island Hawaii, and Kauai.
Each one of the islands is an individual country and is radically different than all the other islands in Hawaii. So you have to visit the island you’re most interested in to make a final decision.
You may love the rural nature of Kauai, the big city feel of Oahu in Honolulu, or the volcanic lava on the Big Island and being able to swim with wild dolphins.
You have to explore and discover this answer on your own.
But what fun it is to research!
Do you want the amenities, employment, and entertainment opportunities of Oahu where 1 million live?
Oahu is a gorgeous island. But traffic is dense. Choose wisely where you’ll live as the traffic will affect your life; getting to work and moving around.
But Oahu has the best medical, beautiful beaches, and a University. Do you like surfing? Waikiki is a great place to learn.
If you don’t want to buy a car you could use The Bus, which is the best transportation system in the USA for people who don’t drive. I did it and you can combine it with bike travel as you mount your bike on the front of the bus to get you home.
