I was on the Big Island from 2009 to 2013 from California. Your critique of Maui and Hawaii was right on. You hit the nail on point! thank you.😉

Such great advice. Thank you so much !!

such a sweet story! thank you for sharing. Looking forward to moving to Hawaii soon. I appreciate you taking the time to do this :)

Married my wife here in 2012. We still talk about moving to Maui. I've been there 5 times and I swear it's more beautiful everytime

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m scared but my soul is ready ❤

Thoughtful insights. Thank you.

Very nicely done. You two are an honest and trustworthy couple. I hope you can return to Maui some day. I know people who have moved there twice. Be well. 🌴

Love how you guys gently described Maui. I’m considering living in Hawaii. Thank you!

Very Informative and helpful, down to Earth and wish you two a Long and loving marriage 💑. I appreciated your insights. I'm seriously considering the move to Maui in the near future. Thanks again and Mahalo!!

Thanks for this video. I’ve wanted to retire in Maui for most of my life. There’s a real difference between “real world” and “vacation world.” Thanks for the honest evaluation. God bless you both and Merry Christmas!

#1 bucket list.. own a place on Maui. Such great tips!

Loved your video!! What great kids you sound like! I wish I would have done it when I was younger. God Bless you both✝️ Mahalo

Such a beautiful place , I’ve never been but might visit one day.

I’ve lived in Hawaii but am currently living in Oregon and you are soooo right. Winter days are almost worse than storms in Hawaii.

Nice video. We just left Beaverton OR, for Maui. Different situation, we’re here for training and school, but it’s nice seeing someone else whose been through it. I didn’t know that about Safeway, to Costco we go.

Great video!! Thank you for sharing your experiences. I would love to explore nature and go scuba diving there!

Thank you!

My family and i lived on Oahu and it was the best 3 years of my life...i hated leaving and still miss living there to this day...we left around 9 years ago.

What I miss the most is the gorgeous colors everywhere you look and of course the Honu. I lived across the street from Kaanapali a short walk to the farmers market and Honokowai Beach Park but I chose S-turns as my hang out. Photography is my hobby and luckily I didn't have work but was approached at a Biking store asking me to work part-time on Front Street with Ocean views. Sure I said! Got some amazing shots of Sunset at work 😉. Maui is a dream. I'm going to purchase a single home residence soon. 🤙

My mother and I went there twice for vacation before she passed away 3 years ago and it was our favorite place we'd ever been to. Now I'm all by myself in California and have been considering an attempt to live there for a year as a spiritual thing for myself but it feels so intimidating to make that move all alone.

Hello to you guys ,I m from Europe and living 30 years in the garden island 🏝of Kauai. I m sailed around the world ⛵🌎for seven years from 2012 to 2018

Kihei is the only place I've ever stayed but 5 days is enough plus it makes me look forward to coming back. If I ever became close to broke I tell everyone I would buy a one way ticket to Maui.

Im a cosmetology student and I want to move to oahu sometime within the next two years and I’m so glad I found your channel because I haven’t been able to find many people who are in the beauty industry and managed to move there!! I wanted to ask; how exactly do you go about transferring your licensure and finding a job there?

Great advice guys! Did island fever contribute to your desire to move back? If money weren’t a factor, would you have stayed indefinitely?

How is the weather around the beginning of November? Should I pack pants or shorts?

So we just posted our Simple Maui Wedding video for any of you thinking about getting married on the island. Getting married in Maui is a once in a life time moment for us and its not that expensive than you would think. Check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/baiJe9aXq9vTaWw.html

Just got back from Maui... dream of moving there

Planning on moving for USDA job in Kula Maui and am very nervous but excited

Did you go anywhere around the backside of Maui? Either way, there is an endless supply of videos where people have driven around up-and-down everywhere on the island. There's so much good KZfaq footage to share with others.

You never worry about hurricanes unless the locals start stocking up,

You two are adorable

Krys, I really need your help! What state did you transfer your license from? What was the process like? Did you have any difficulty? Have any tips? (I have a million more questions)

Aloha to you guys ,from the garden island 🏝 of Kauai. I paying rents very expensive in Kauai, more the Maui island

I was there for 3 months last year and decided to move. I'll be moving there officially in a few weeks, by myself, so my biggest concern is making friends. Where were you guys living and how did you meet people? I was mainly in Kihei and made plenty of tourist friends for a week or two but I'd like to meet people living there. Any tips?

I was born and raised on Kauai during the 70's and 80's, I moved to Oahu and lived there for nearly 10 years before moving to WA at the end of June 2000, I had to move out of Hawaii because the high paying blue collar jobs are either hard to find or get onto, but at least my parents are still on Kauai and I have a home to go to maybe after I retire. If I was still living on Oahu or Kauai today, I'd most likely be not working almost the entire 2020 and be collecting unemployment.

First time hearing about Rat Lungworm….Ewww! But I’ve heard about the centipedes. Any stories/advice on avoiding them?

How long did you two live on Maui and what was it that made you move back?

I am a hairstylist in ma and wanna move to Hawaii.... was it easy for you to transfer your license? Love the video! 💕

Can you give an example of foods you couldn't get on Maui?

Why did you leave? We love Maui thought about moving just wanted to be sure.

Thanks '' -I love 💕 to know the name of the place where you tried the Zip line At 2.40 minutes. Also a beautiful beach 🏖 that had extra ordinary vegitation -

Kihie is a straight up tourist place. And its the desert of Maui Terrible place to live but a good vacation spot. All prices are set for tourist.

Some of your facts are spot on. But you live the Haole way. Most of us Hawaiians live so different then you. So our cost are not the same. In many ways lower because we do not live the same. So you are correct if you live as a Haole but if you live local style different

Where is your favorite free place to go see turtles? And whales?

I moved to Hawai’i with just a backpack. I went on vacation and stayed for 3 years. I’m moving back in a few months.

Why did you leave Hawaii? What are you doing on mainland now?

Aloha!! Nice video but the only thing you got wrong is about KiHell, that's where all the tourist go not the West Side!! I find most people that live on the South Side or tourist that vacation there never go to the West Side? Once we visited Napili Beach we never stayed on the South Side again, we found our home!! My wife and I lived in Napili (West Side) for 6 years, I wouldn't last 6 months in KiHell!! LOL. The only reason we'd go to the South Side was to go to Costco, we bought 95% of our groceries there and all our gas there!! We also loved Coconut fish café in Kihei, but now they have one on the West Side. It would take us about 50 minutes to get to Costco from Napili. During Whale season it could take over an hour!! Tourist had to slow down to look at the whales and cause accidents!! Did you guys ever go to Napili Beach? IMO, the snorkeling, surfing and beaches are much nicer on the West Side!! However, we did like Big Beach. Plus, it's cooler on the West Side. My wife worked at a local bar/ restaurant called Paradise Grill, it worked out great because she got to meet tons of locals and we got to do every tourist activity for free. I managed our 2 vacation rental condos. We would rent one year round and the other one we lived in for 6 months and then we went back to Tahoe for ski season and rented it while we were gone. We would only stay for 6 to 8 months a year but one time we did stay on Maui for a year and a half. For us it was just time to move on to the next adventure so we sold both condos about 2 years ago. Plus, trying to get anything fixed during surf season was almost impossible if you were off island. The thing we miss the most are our friends and doing nothing but going surfing, SUP and sitting on the beach all day. I also didn't like that they don't have daylight savings so it got dark around 6:30ish year round. I think we'll go back in a few years to see old friends but a lot of our friends have also moved back to the mainland too. Overall we enjoyed it and glad we did it, you only live once!!

Oh No ! One of those that forgot to go home.

Hawaii charges tax on food, 4.124%, for home, property tax is the lowest in the nation, work for Costco, great company.

do you think u prefer kaui> maui?

People give you mangos for free, but do you give anything back?

40$ for watermelon?

Do it before kids. Once you have children on the mainland its game over for 18 years.

Maui doesn’t need to be promoted it’s way over crowded especially on the roads. I know you mean well, but....no.
