I lived in Kaneohe as a kid and my wife was born in Honolulu. Lived on the mainland for 36 years. Moved back to the Islands 2 years ago. We chose Kailua-Kona. Kona has everything without being too big. Airport, Costco, restaurants, beaches, fishing, etc. Chose to be on the leeward side because we like the drier climate. Hilo side is too wet for us, although that's the greener side with the waterfalls. We can always drive to the Hilo side to get our waterfall fix. The B.I. has more climate zones on its 4000+ square miles than probably any other place on earth, everything from desert to snow. We used to vote weekly on whether or not we made the right decision to move here. We've stopped voting. If anybody wants variety, they should consider the island of Hawaii. Kailua-Kona was good enough for King Kamehameha I, and it's good enough for us.

@Peter Kay Living in Hawaii I forgot to mention the diving! Vog was terrible once Fissure 8 opened up. Some people with respiratory problems actually moved off-island. As soon as Halema'uma'u finished draining then the hurricanes passed through in August, we've had nothing but great skies. Literally no vog. Some say it hasn't been this nice in Kailua-Kona since the 80's.

I was born and raised in Hawaii. I've got mixed feelings about it. Growing up being bullied for being Hapa really messed up my mental state, but I guess being picked on, beat up, and treated like garbage from 5 years old until I turned 16 will do that. I miss a lot about home. But I'm still trying to fix the issues I have as a result of my childhood, and even a lot of my adult life. If you hold eye contact with somebody for more than 2 seconds their egos are hurt and think it is a challenge for a fight. My advice for people who want to move to Hawaii is this: Be very VERY wealthy, live where the locals are minimal. Or at least where the locals who exist are somewhat well to do. You'll get less harassment that way. And do not make eye contact with random locals (male or female) that you don't know. I can't really convey through KZfaq how it was, people are always shocked when I tell them what it was like.

@@livehawaii yeah, it is a hard thing to deal with. My family is still there and they seem offended and sad that I told them I'd never move back. They ask why and I tell them that I would never put my kids through that. Especially my son who is severely autistic. I've never experienced bullying, or flat out hate towards people as bad as I've experienced back home. There is no justice for it either. My family never had to deal with it, mom is very dark skinned (black almost) and never had issues being a Pacific islander. My dad is white but nobody ever messed with him because he's a giant. My brother is also a giant, and looks like a samoan or large Pacific islander. My sister is also big boned and looks like a local and dark skinned like my brother. Me... 5 feet 7 inches tall, very tiny body and skinny. I have a "friendly" face and timid. Also, the whitest of the group. From kindergarten to sophomore year in high school was me getting messed with. I tried to fight back against a bully and got smashed. Guy was 6 feet 2 and felt like he just needed to beat me up. He wasn't the only one. It stopped when I was a junior in high school because I got a little bigger, and I guess people got bored with it. I felt weak and hopeless. When I moved to Oahu from Big Island it I found that people where still assholes. Same mentality of "eyeing you up" and them getting an ego boost when your look away. Just pumping gas and minding my own business and you got people just staring you, waiting to get a response so they can puff up their chest and say shit like "Ho, fakkah, you eyeing me up? Fakkah like scrap hah?" Yet Hawaii is my home. I don't know any other place as my home and it sucks. But that's my reality. I never really let my family know how it has messed me up. I'm 37 now and I still deal with issues. I live in the mainland now, and have never been treated better for the most part. Aside from being called "black boy" by two different white people, which I just laughed at because in Hawaii I'm not fucking dark enough, and here some inbred jed backwoods racist think I'm not white enough. Pretty funny. Jeez... sorry... I just vented my life on your thread. Anyway, your video randomly came up on my feed, and all my shit came out. I do enjoy watching the scenery in your videos. Not all my time there was awful, just most of it, and I have some great memories of me being there with my close friends. I just can't recommend ever to move there. God bless.

I know exactly how you felt! I moved to Wahiwa on Oahu because my dad was in the military. I was 11 years old and so excited to be there at first. We lived there 7 years and they were the worst years of my life! I was bullied constantly, and feared for my life! The only reason being I was a haloe. The principal would keep me in his office at school to keep me safer sometimes! I lived there in the middle sixties to early seventies. I too have had mental issues because of all the abuse I suffered! It would be hard for others to believe how horrible some of the things I went through like kill Haloe Day on the last day of school each year! My parents picked me up from school on that day each year! I was a young girl but the local girls had gangs in school and I had to keep my head down and not look at at these locals or they would start harassing me. It was two years after coming back to the mainland before I could look up at people again.I was psychologically scarred!

I love your videos - as a videographer/editor myself I'm curious about how you film these, and capture such clean audio even with the wind while driving. Impressive! I've visited Hawaii many times, each time felt like coming home - and I would be crying when I left. I have finally found a viable housing solution that will enable me to move to Oahu and I couldn't be more ecstatic. Now I just need to find a job.... As you mentioned in a previous video, I cannot wait to leave the Western value system behind, especially the "me first" attitude that is so prevalent here on the East Coast. I cannot wait to get rid of the majority of my possessions and live a simple life enjoying the beach, the mountains, and the company of others. I cannot wait to build an extended family and define myself by something other than work. This is my big chance to align my life to my values. Thank you for the resources in your videos and your website, it's a real service to those of us making the move.

The most important thing when going to Hawaii is to chill out ! There is a lot of hype surrounding Hawaii , I have been there several times and love the place , still , expectations run high , I find myself wanting the islands to perform for me , and my first day or two there are kinda edgy and I think , what’s the big deal , but that’s not what Hawaii is about , after a few days , the islands gently permeate my existence , and I realize , wow , I am back in Hawaii and it feels really cool. There is no other state like it in the United States. My advice , don’t go there expecting anything , don’t expect the islands to perform for you. Don’t complain when you see a Walmart , an expressway , when the waves are not as big as you thought or the first Mai Tai is not as good as you thought it should be. Just chill. Let the islands find their way into you. Before you know it , you will be home , back at that day job, feeling like you just woke up from a great dream. Thinking , oh my god , I have to go back ! And you will. PS I love all the islands , been to almost all of them ,could not decide which is best. Winks Lisa

Ai Kinward,as a local on Oahu for my whole life, Those islands are inaccessible to most people. Kahoolawe was actually a nuclear bomb test site back in WW2 and Niihau is owned privately by the Robinson Family. Sorry to say but you can't go to those islands like "I'm gonna take a vacation on a privately owned island!" or "Lemme just chill on this radioactive island!" No. Only a dumb bitch would assume that. You can go to Lanai which is next to Maui. But no, a lot of people haven't been to Niihau and Kahoolawe. Also, it is clear you haven't learned/been to the Hawaiian islands at all my friend.

Expensive AF. Most people I know start talking about moving somewhere that land is cheap once they have more than one kid. Keep in mind these people are making about $90k and probably have a spouse that works and makes near as much too. Texas and Arizona are states that enter the conversation. Housing is by far the largest and most difficult to lower expense. Between the cost of a 2 or three bedroom and a $1000 Costco grocery bill monthly (for two) you had better have a good job and really get your enjoyment out of the beach and life in Hawaii.

Though I frequently visited Maui say more than 20 times, I still think Oahu has more to offer all around. Miliani almost in the center of the island is my pick to move to, it's got good school district for children to have decent education, short drive to outlet mall, Peril Harbor and beautiful Ko Olina. I'll move my family to Oahu one day when financially sound.

Peter Kay is right about Kona being a small town (and far from everywhere), but we do have good shopping...Macy's, Pier 1, Safeway, Costco, Ross, Target, Wal Mart (a K-mart just closed). We also have several climate zones in the vicinity - up Hualalai at 3,500 feet you may need a fireplace, and the Kona coffee district is comfortably cool and wetter than in town. North of town is dry almost all year. I love these videos of Oahu. Oahu and Kauai are the most beautiful islands for jagged mountains and sandy beaches! The Big Island has diversity and you can travel for hours in some places without seeing another human being.

I’m so glad I came across your channel. I definitely subscribed so I can do all the required research into moving. My wife’s family is from Hawaii and still has some relatives there. I have never been but it’s been pulling on me really strong for some time now and that’s my wife’s dream to be living there. I grew up in California, moved to Tennessee for 5 years in my early teens, back to Cali for about 10 years and now we’re in Spokane, wa for the past 10 years. It feels like we live on an island here with not much to do. We’ve came to despise it due to the horrible long winters. We want to go back home but we’re never fully satisfied there either. I’ve been in construction for about 20 years and mostly plumbing, but I know all other aspects of construction as well so god willing I can find a decent job to sustain my family and I. We don’t need much other than a place over our head and a peaceful, healthy and happy life and we truly feel like Hawaii could be the place that will give us the at home feeling. 🙏🏼

Great video! I just got back from the Big Island and finally understand the term “Heaven on Earth” Hawai’i is definitely on my retirement radar. The biggest impact to me was the people. They are all so gratuitous that main landers appreciate the land and culture. I met people from Kauai and Oahu as well and they too were so friendly and positive. Your drive was breathtaking, MAHALO!

I think women, particularly attractive young women are treated better than others. I'm not sure if you fall into that category, ut I've heard quite a few stories over the years of mainlanders being treated like trash mentally and physically. I hope that all visitors are treated as well as long as they respect the islands on their visit.

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to film beautiful Oahu! I love the beauty of the mountains so much. I live on Maui and I have not physically been to any of the other islands. KZfaq is where I view the others. I chose Maui because it's more like where I used to live in California. You are right on about choosing a place close to what you are used to. Oahu would have been too big a stretch for me. The only complaint I have is the lack of and a variety of restaurants!

Thank you 🙏 If you’re from NorCal....So far I feel like the Hawaiian islands are similar to Cali...Kauai is like Marin County or Napa (yuppie hippie), Oahu is like L.A. (trendy, busy, freeways, traffic), Maui is more like Berkeley meets Marin County (some low key city or social life but more beach suburban, maybe like San Diego), main island I’ve never been to but I’d guess more like Contra Costa County with some Berkeley.

Kauai is amazing and feels like paradise. We stayed B&B almost the whole time we were there and found the locals were some of the nicest people you could meet.

I lived on Oahu in the mid 1950's and again from 1959 to 1961 while my dad was in the Navy. Came back to visit many times between then and 2019. My wife and I have been to all of the five main islands. In 2016 we purchased a condo on Molokai. We still lived in Utah until buying a house on Molokai in 2019. While there are no Costco's, WalMart's, Target stores, Home Depot's and Lowes stores on Molokai, this wonderful island is perfect for my wife and I. I'll be seventy-three this month (March 2021). I have absolutely no desire to move back to the Mainland, and I've been to all fifty states and have lived from Maine to Florida and New York to California. Plus Hawaii, of course! The best thing about Hawaii, and, in my opinion this applies to all of the five major islands, are the people of Hawaii. The Aloha Spirit is alive and well here. Even in downtown, rush-hour traffic in the Waikiki Beach area of Oahu.

Lived on both Oahu and Maui. Moved to Oahu (Waikiki) in 1986 and stayed 4 years until a job transfer took us to Maui. I was upset at first but after about 6 months I embraced it. When I was on Oahu I was single, young and partying. “The Wave” was my favorite and of course, Mooses for Long Island iced tea! My first keiki (child) was born 1 month after moving to Maui. It worked out for the best. Pace is much slower here and easy to raise a family. Most of my friends on Oahu sent their keiki to private schools. We looked at Seabury Hall, waaay too much $$$. Both of my children went 12 years public and went on to very good colleges on the mainland. Now when I visit Oahu, it’s overwhelming!! I do love the restaurants and shopping. I heard they closed Mekongs Thai on Beretania.... bumma! .....haven’t been to Kauai since 1982. The big island is pretty cool and Lanai....used to go over on the ferry for lunch at The Lodge but haven’t been there since Larry Ellison bought it. Some really good people from there. Never been to Molokai.....feels like I can touch it when I drive over to kapalua/honolua bay🌺

Hi Peter, Aloha and thanks for the great videos! I'm considering moving to Oahu/Waikiki and driving Lyft/Uber for a living. I'm from Seattle WA. and drive Lyft now and enjoy it very much. I would like to give it a try for a few years (2 - 3) in Waikiki and see what happens, if it fails I can always move back to Seattle. I would plan on renting a studio/one bedroom one bath with parking for my Lyft vehicle. Please let me know your thoughts. I'll be vacationing in Kauai next week if you would like to meet up. Otherwise I would love to meet you in Waikiki later in the year and discuss apartment shopping. I've been looking online and found several affordable candidates already. I'm planning on 2019-ish for the move. Downsizing everything here in Seattle is going to take some time for sure. Thanks much --TW

Another terrific video. I think it focuses on #2. Internet/Social media. That has become a major part of most of our lives. So that immediately says O'ahu/Maui. As you mentioned. Even if it's not about money making conveniences. And you DO want the same modern conveniences you had. If owning a Porsche or Mercedes is important...then it's O'ahu. :) As there is is only 1 Porsche dealer in Hawaii. 1 Ferrari dealer....etc. All on O'ahu. And even if you buy a Porsche 911 and bring it to Maui...I don't think there are any servicing shops. So basically if you choose Maui you'd need to buy a vehicle with a dealership on the island. :) Informative. To the point. Zuckerberg isn't liked in Hawaii heh. Too greedy. He's a "brash haolee" :) So much positive press about him and his wife Pricilla Chan on the mainland.

I want to live in Hawaii but I can’t afford it 😬😢 But I’m still aiming to live there someday thinking about applying a nurse job in military 🤔😊😊

You are incorrect about Kona. Kona has the Costco. Hilo has Walmart. Kona is busy with lots of tourists, the airport is there. Hilo is much more laid back. The weather is also quite different, rains all the time in Hilo. Very humid. Land and housing is also cheaper in the Hilo area. Hilo and Kona are quite different from each other. Hilo are is much more the REAL Hawaii.

We are considering June 2019 instead of 2020... I'm getting more and more excited... Justing finding out though that sure we can buy a condo but the HOA fees are unbelievable or like on Zillow ... That don't even show the HOA... So we have a lot to learn

It’s clearly a beautiful place but am not prepared to be expected to enjoy being treated as an unwelcome outsider for the rest of my life by the locals. Currently live in Florida which is very multicultural and the predominant attitude is acceptance not judgment.

I lived in Honolulu for 6 years. Now that I am approaching retirement years, I want to retire in Hawaii...and from what you said about Kona side of the Island of Hawaii, it may be a place for me, because I like to do gardening at home, and love ocean fishing.

In the late 70’s there was a drive in theater high in the mountains. Is it still there? I remember going and just sitting in the car waiting for the movie to start and being amazed at the view of the mountains around the movie screen. Beautiful.
