    Moved to the Big Island 3 years ago. I did study moving to Hawaii for 2 years before coming over just to make sure it will work out for us. We have never had Island fever. If we go to Hilo it feels like we had a road trip to another state! We also told our family we are parked here and not flying back. It’s been 3 years and we have no intention of changing that. So, we have lots of visitors. We love the laid back lifestyle and the warm days.

      @@James-sn5mgI’m on the Al fl line and am trying to get my wife to agree to pcola or Hawaii. Only things I care about are keeping my guns (can do but will have to get 10 round mags, sucks but no biggie), skateboarding, and the beach. I can do all that there. People have different things. Long as I can be at the ocean, skate, and go to a shooting range I’m good. I know the last would be a compromise but I’m ok with it after looking up the laws. Sorry for rambling. I’m just saying people have different tastes or stuff they prioritize. So what is a big negative to you may be a positive to others
      Oh and reason I’m saying pcola is because it’s right down the road so will be easier to get her to agree

    Vegas resident and Native Nevadan here: you come on over anytime you want! What an honor to be called the 9th Island. The thing that was bugging was Californians escaping LA for here, Reno and Tahoe, and trashing the places (which I can also speak to as we were in LA from 2012-21 and moved back to Nevada for the same reasons). Like Hawaii, we have our culture here but I think a lot of us didn't even realize it until it felt as though it was getting crowded out for a minute.

    I used to live in big island and i will say ,its way different and slower there. If you are from California you will have to adapt more then others ,cause its not fast pace like it is in l.a , no six flags, you cant take motorcycle rides like you would over there , the food is expensive and sometimes not all your food you like is even sold there! Your on island time , so very relaxed and chill vibes. Your not gonna have fairs or carnvals , no baseball games ,no football, there's pretty much nothing there to do but eat and go to the water and drink kava , its completely different like completely. But i love it for that reason, i am a simple man and just love being there without all the city pollution in l.a , you can really vibe here. Just cause i said you cant do all that dont mean you cant enjoy it. Just being brutally honest

    I will be in Oahu on Tuesday and will be there for 2 weeks. This is my second visit this year. Before going there I got a great book that mentioned many things including respect for the land, the culture, and the people. I love my life as a minimalist and trying to leave “no” trace. On this trip I am bringing re-usable items because I don’t want to add trash to the beautiful island. I am from Los Angeles, California. I love Hawaii so much! Aloha!

    Great video as always. I do think that there is some resentment of tourists, at least on Maui. I think it is also because a lot of people show up throwing money around acting like they own the place, while the locals live a more modest lifestyle. This is true of many tourism spots.

      No, most people work two jobs to make ends meet. It has always been like that. I was recruited to come as a teacher. My starting wage qualified me for a free or reduced lunch at the school I taught at. Teacher lunches were a dollar, I could have applied and only paid 25 cents.
      It is getting harder for the residents to live day to day. Theft is a real problem in some areas because of that issue.

      Eternity isn't just some fad to flaunt for validation based on geography. It's either true or not, not everything people believe can be true.
      However, if you're serious, contrast the main religions. If there is a supernatural creator, it wouldn't leave us without guidance. Said guidance can't be flawed.
      Fast tracking-there's NO proof such as historical accuracy or consistently vindicated text which is as airtight as the teachings within Islam, and said proofs are miraculous in countless ways. That's what you'd expect from something speaking truth about the supernatural, namely our creator and our purpose in existence. It gets even more interesting when you learn Jesus called God "Alaha". The creator wouldn't hide the truths to reality on the literal most remote island on the globe. That's illogical, and you don't see evidence of illogic in natural creation.
      So there's no sense in pretending geography makes a practice true. Search for historical, empirical, logical, philosophical, or any other form of evidence. The odds of us being naturally created by chance has more zeroes between the decimal and the first number than particles in the universe.

    Whew, love your friendly presentation and I recognize you are speaking as a resident of Oahu. For a haole with 35 years on Big Island really found your information not in line with reality. Probably the most glaring is haole, downplaying the reality and you defined the term!! Translation is one without breath, it is condescending was created to describe the pale skinned people who came to the islands and label them as disconnected individuals, not in touch with the land, culture and reverence for where they are. I have chosen to move to the mainland..final straw..the Lahaina fire. The hurricane did not cause the fire. It was some 500 miles south of the islands. You are spot on with how the Maui community rose to the occasion to help the survivors. Without the concerted efforts of Molokai, Maui and Big Island residents more people would have perished.
    My grandmother was the first haole baby born in the queens hospital in 1902. Her mother was a teacher. I came to big Island in 1990 to teach. I brought my father, my grandmother's only child to Big Island for his final days. I have roots in the islands and yet, wrong color, time for me to breathe the air on the mainland. I am from Alaska..this is the lower 48.
    Ultimately it doesn't matter where you are as long as you are happy inside...I am happy wherever I am...
    Aloha, thank you for your video.

    this is truly fascinating!

Completely caught me by surprised just from what ever travel guide and local that hops on a camera driving home the 'Aloha' spirit, which in terms to me is
    Mark 12:31
    ...'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
    love to here anybody from the island speak on this if possible, just curious!

    My wife and I, both in our mid-30s, are from Germany, and I also have US citizenship. We are thinking about moving to Hawaii in maybe 5 to 10 years. Before that, we want to visit multiple times to see what it’s like to live there. We’re at the very beginning of planning, so it’s not fleshed out yet. And have some questions.
    Things that are important to us include getting involved with the community, culture, and history. We also want to learn Hawaiian, but we’re not sure if this would be considered rude. We think that one of the rudest things people can do when moving to a different country is refusing to be part of the culture or community and just doing their own thing, expecting everyone else to adjust to them.
    How easy or difficult is it for a newcomer to join a community or get to know people? Is there something we should look out for, besides using common sense?
    Safety is also high on our list. Crime has been mentioned in a few videos. How does this manifest in everyday life? Do people get mugged in broad daylight, or what does it look like? Another video mentioned that you can’t have nice things because someone will eventually steal them from you.
    We know that Hawaii is not all postcards, but we’re really excited about the thought of moving to Hawaii and also want to see the real picture, especially the cons, so there aren’t any surprises.
    Thank you for reading, and we’re looking forward to a reply or two. :)

I love being outside every day. I could live in a shoe box. You like big houses, yards, etc., don't move there. And don't go if you have an attitude. Some people like cold weather. Some like city life. Everyone's different. So never bash anyone for where they want to live.

The fact that I love the most about Switzerland and in partiicular Zurich, compared to italy, is the perfect society and politics; this is largely determined by the higher quality of the average person, the stricter patroling of police, the stricter borders regulations and the fact that your boss can decide quite easily to fire you if you are not productive and if you don't have a job, then, as a foreigner, in the best case you have one year to find another job, otherwise you have to leave.

    As local Hawaiian, born/raised, have No Idea what daffy-nition of "Island Fever" entails. To me, "island fever" occurs when people try to hard to fit in, only to be met by ridicule, scorn & derision. If you Really, Truly want to fit in w/island culture... STOP! Trying So Hard to be "accepted!" Adjust S-L-O-W-L-Y a Single step at a time. You have to Crawl b4 U learn how to Walk, b4 U learn how to Run.... It's A Marathon, Not A Sprint!

I now carry a stick with a sharp point on the end of it to protect myself. I've contacted all the authorities, they won't do anything about it. In order to file a dangerous dog report I have to be bitten first. I have to show medical records. This is crazy.

      also yeah can relate to the shipping thing. I’m a musician and sold my amps on the main land thinking I could just buy new ones when I got here. I was lucky to buy the same model of guitar amp I had at a local music store (shoutout Bounty Music) but I couldn’t find the bass amp I had and it can’t be shipped here either.

    Hi you seem to be a very nice person and I agree with a lot of things that you said. But there are bad things about Hawaii that should be said about paradise. There is a lot of crime here. Just park your car on a public road overnight and and when you come back the next day tires and wheels will be gone and windows will be smashed and that happens in good areas very often. I live in a condo complex and had my 2 month old scooter stolen in a good area. And homeless is a big problem here and should never be sugarcoated.

    if you need Tavern, Bar, club, mall, hot chicks or guys, then no need to go there because there aren't any there plus everything goes dark after 9pm. Also if you consider yourself a no frill, no non-sense ie. expeditious driver that hates wasting time in traffic, the speed limit on the big island mainly 25-35mph all over. Need to get somewhere quickly better leave early and with a calm temper. Otherwise, 2 years would be the max stay before all these "lack of mainland essentials" get to your skin. There are only so much palm trees, trails and beaches before things get old and being the highest cost of living State wear you down.
