Hawaii is undoubtedly the least familiar place you can choose to live in the United States. The Aloha State has an incredibly diverse culture, climate, and way of life -- the norms you're used to in the upper 48 may not apply here! With that, here's some of our best tips and insights on how to live, blend, and enjoy Hawaii life.

I feel like your brother-in-law. I was stationed there from 97-00 and I loved it. It's a special place. I try to visit it every year. That place never gets old to me. 🤙🏾

Hawaii is SOOOOOO special! Nothing like another place in the world! The culture is so special… I live in Southern California (Los Angeles) and a lot of the things you describe here are also a problem in this side of the world! Traffic, weird weather (lately the sun is not showing up), expensive everything. I am in-love with Oahu! I want to move there hopefully soon enough… the island is calling me… thank you so much for this video as always!

@@mailagibson6787I have a question 🙋🏻♂️ so I was recently looking up apartments and rentals in the Honolulu area and noticed the rent is crazy high like 3,000 a studio high lol my question is how in the world do people afford this? I’m genuinely wanting to know I’m a cook and I couldn’t afford this on my current salary.

I see several other Missourians in your comments who can relate to your "red solo cup" reference....too funny. About to PCS to Hawaii from Germany and loving your videos for acquainting everyone with life in Hawaii without pushing sales. Your lighthearted delivery of valuable information will draw way more potential customers than those who just "push property". Thank you so much!

It amazes me that after all these years, and several popular TV series, people still think Hawaii is full of unclothed and uncivilized people running from volcanoes. When I moved to a place on the mainland - the kind of city where most people live their whole lives - everyone was so ignorant about it and looked at me like I didn't know anything. People who say they want to avoid Hawaii because of volcanoes live in places that get a lot of tornadoes and hurricanes and don't think that is a problem. I have a distinct memory of being at someone's home and there were big roaches flying around. I also remember the pest control tents on houses. Another thing on crime, going by what I have heard, the break-ins at the beaches and trail heads is a big problem. Because of that I can understand if tourists stick to Waikiki because they can just walk out from a room.

Great video and yes, just wear rubbah slippahs when going to someone's house because it's easy to slip off and fits in with the local culture perfectly. Dressy socks and shoes will be for another occasion.
@mailagibson6787 Жыл бұрын
So true! I used to love strappy sandals, but as a realtor going in and out of homes, I wear slippers whenever possible.

But understand and be cool with the fact you might not be leaving with the slippahs you came with, especially if they were nice.
