Living in Hawaii
США
Добавлен 28 июл 2011
My name is Peter Kay and I'm helping people make their dreams come true by moving to Hawaii!
If you're local, please read my Mission and Purpose page to understand what I'm trying to do and why. I deeply care about preserving our local culture and values. www.livinginhawaii.com/about/my-mission-and-purpose/
I’ve lived Hawaii since the mid ‘80s when I moved here in my early 20s. I arrived site-unseen in Honolulu with zero contacts and about $5k in savings. I worked from nearly zero and today Hawaii has given me the greatest gifts in the world in all aspects: spiritually, financially, romantically (married since early ‘90s w/ 2 children), and most important, peace. My goal with this channel is to share the magic of this Land of Aloha and help others who are on a similar quest.

Can You Catch Island Fever in Hawaii?
Certainly, the video is self-serving and largely misleading. We’ve lived in Hawaii 12 years. Your little quips about the various islands are meaningless at best and outright wrong at worst.
You're making a lot of claims to back up over there. How is this video self-serving? And what, specifically, was incorrect or misleading? Btw when I made this video I was here for 35 years.
No men aoll!
Huh?
Remembering Hawaii like it was yesterday for me..I miss it
Once it's in your heart you will never forget Hawaii
So awesome everyone!!!
Outstanding show! Loved everyone’s story. Patrick- I live in Denver. Definitely tired of the snow. My husband and I have met Dylan and hope to get something in the islands soon. ❤❤
Sounds great!
I arrived in Maui for the first time at night and the next morning when I opened the curtains (oceanfront), I thought I was in Heaven! Colors of the water were so many shades of blue and varieties of beautiful flowers were amazing! I’m a teacher on the mainland so absolutely cannot afford to live in the most heavenly place I’ve seen! ❤
I'm so glad you're having an amazing experience!
Housing is overpriced. Don't get your money's worth.😅
That's not what countless buyers believe. They think it's a bargain!
@@livehawaii you must be a real estate agent. You'll be dead before mortgage paid off I bought A townhouse in Aiea Hi. 125,000. Sold 4years later 250,000. Wish I still had it in newspaper selling 375,000
I would love to live there but I am Italian so it is almost impossible 😢
Sounds beautiful Carol
Is that a BMW or a Porsche Boxster you are driving?

Great commentary I live in Hawaii for a while. Everything you say is good aloha.☮️❤️✨
Probably except during the ice ages
I think you can tiny home (shed) build anything under or exactly 200sq ft as long as it’s on blocks or wheels. The problem with tiny homes any bigger is most property’s (big or small) have rights to one home with a possibility of two. It’s more cost effective for resale with a 2 bedroom as our prices are ridiculously high for any real dwelling. Also very tiny plots of land are very hard to come by. Most plots start around 300k in Kaua’i. I’m trying to build a 12x16 shed with solar and rain catchment. All for less than 30k and around 40k furnished.
Overpopulated in comparison to size of the state compared to other states.🤓#We are Not NY
depends what you're comparing. Hawaii has 221 people per square mile. Florida has 405. Wyoming has 6.
@@livehawaii I'm comparing it to the average number of people per square mile per state.
so am I. what states are you comparing?
@@livehawaii California land Mass size is over 250x bigger yet the Population density is Almost the same as Oahu.thats 250x overpopulation for the tiny island if Oahu Hawaii.
Ca has 251 ppl/sq mi. Hawaii has 223. Right?
Well I got the job....I'm a live in land caretaker that also receives pay from a wonderful family in Hilo. I also help out at the coffee shop......so yeah lol
Awesome!
I like big island
These fools calling the kettle black, haha!
What do you mean?
Come to Kunia, I stepped on a scorpion around 6 months ago and got stung, I killed another one last night in my garage. I've been bit and stung by centipedes and scorpions, Scorpions are far more painful.
And here I thought we didn't have them

What did you learn from the video?
Nobody talking about the Mercedes parked perpendicular in the crosswalk? 😂🤦🏼♂️🙃
Lol didn't even notice!
Love Hawaii. Sweet temtation😊
Good poin. I like trader joe and quality grocery store. Whish they are there. At least there are costco. Also I love the fresh air and beautiful beaches in HI. Being healthy is saving a lit of money. I love to enjoy my life in the paradise soon.
I’m white.. I worked at a farm in Hawaii, operated by Hawaiians… when I arrived here from the mainland, people told me the “locals” are racist against white people… I got a job working on a farm, operated by Hawaiians… soon after, I asked my manager if Hawaii is racist against white people… my manager replied, “yes”… I told my manager that racism is frowned upon, on the mainland… my (Hawaiian) manager explained to me that, in the 60’s when the Civil Rights Movement took place on the mainland, Hawaii still identified… as it’s own country (and, I might add, rightly so. Hawaii was stolen, by the USA.. there are videos on RUclips that explain how this went down… it has to do with the “Dole” pineapple company… if you want further information on this topic, watch the videos)… and, since Hawaii identified as it’s own country, the Civil Rights Movement that was taking place in the USA had no effect on Hawaii… life continued, as it always had… meaning: the ENTIRE WORLD, was racist in the years prior to the Civil Rights Movement… so, in Hawaii, nothing changed… this explanation made sense to me, so I thanked my manager for the explanation… I’m a REALIST… I wasn’t asking to have my ears tickled… I live and work in Hawaii, so I need to understand the reality of things… it was also explained to me soon after arriving in Hawaii, that the Hawaiians have a right to be angry, considering the way the USA stole their land from them… my personal opinion is, yeah… that’s right… the Hawaiians have a right to be angry, considering the way the USA stole their land from them… here’s something you need to understand, if you REALLY want to understand Hawaiians… HAWAIIANS LOVE THEIR LAND, HAWAIIANS LOVE HAWAII… also, as a white man, another sad reality I’ve personally witnessed is that… ABSOLUTELY, YES… there are some real nut-job, whacky, (what’s another word for: EVIL, that I can use??) WHITE PEOPLE, who live here… and, who the “locals” have to be around every, single day, as they work on their jobs, and shop on… THEIR ISLANDS.
My friend I met last time in Hawaii always uses the word magical, when I move here in a week, I will inevitably say that word a lot too..🤗
Mahalo!! Moving to Kailua Kona in a week :)
From Kihei Maui …two scorpions in my house within a month
Wow
Sad that the local get scam out of their own land
How is that happening?
You can live modesty if you got 1 million in the bank to buy a house
Which island is best??????? RATE THEM ALL……….POOR!!!!!!!! After 5 days in Maui……..AIR CANADA….get me the hell out of this hole!!!!!
What made your experience so poor?
I got robbed in Hawaii and had NO ID to go home.. my passport, drivers license, credit card, phone, waa taken by Micronesia scumbags . The Hawaii people took me in, allowed me to use thier phone and got me to the airport...
mahalo!
Thank you! So important content!!
1. I am in no contact with my abusive family, so sounds good! 2. I don't have very close friends where I live, sounds good too! 3. I am more introverted but Hawaii people are kind people and I feel like I will feel recharged from interacting with people.
Mahalo! I maintain my health by walking, running outdoors, and yoga! Now living in Hawaii in a month, I will be able to do those activities more with the constantly warm weather, and I can do yoga outdoors!! I'm going to get into snorkeling, love being with the fish and honu!!
You two are such kind spirits! I can sense that. Thank you for making this content.
Congrats Dylan!
I am so thankful for your content Peter! I am moving there in about a month and I found your content so helpful to see if it's a good fit to or not.
We have Black Widows! I found one under my house in Kihei on Maui. EEK
Wow eek indeed!
Does it make sense to take a Seasonal Job for 2-3 months before committing to relocation? Thank you!
Makes sense from what perspective?
The most consistent weather on the planet. What brought you to the Hawaiian island's. Have you been back to the mainland in 40 years.
I go back occasionally. Good question on what brought me here. I never talked about that
I have been to many places in the continental USA and Canada. None truly impressed me more than my hometown (North of Seattle). Then I went to Hawaii (Oahu), I was so surprised how fresh, clean, and beautiful the scenery was. I can see I am happy retiring there one day 😊
Who do I check with for to rent out my condo for
Airbnb
...Point is, socialism kills a healthy society !!!! ...And we have been saying this for 240 years. Quit feeding the B.S. 💯 🇺🇲👌
What are some of the aspects of Hawaiian culture?
It's all on the website. Get on the newsletter and you'll be enrolled in a free email course
best place to be to be homeless because of the weather and the beach you can go to you're still going to have a job but you're just not going to be able to afford a place to live so you're going to have to live in your car or somewhere else in a tent somewhere but if you if you have a career or a job or anything they don't pay you enough so you're going to be homeless you might as well be in Hawaii or California
California is much better place to be homeless than Hawaii. Better programs and new relaxed laws, like living in your car
As someone who lived in Tampa Bay, Florida for 13 years, I can definitely confirm all that’s been said here. Also I recently visited Oahu and I definitely rather expensive but nicer people with a sense of community than cheap but down right rude and unfriendly. Oh, and let’s not forget the possibility of sinkholes in your home; a very common issue there. Again, Florida…thanks but no thanks. Hawaii anytime of the day!! Much Aloha!!❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing!
I just got back from 2 weeks in Grand Cayman, (south of Cuba) and it is clean and beautiful with friendly people, but I never used the Lanai at my hotel once. Just too hot and humid, even at night…..and that was in late February/early March. I am told from May to early October the humidity is even worse. That is why it is much cheaper to go there in the summer, plus the threat of tropical storms/hurricanes. Also, the major hotels/resorts are not open air like in Hawaii for the same reason, just too hot and sticky for the guests and staff.
Mahalo for sharing! You cannot beat Hawaii weather!
Question Peter, can you sell a house in California and afford to move to Hawaii?
That's too general a question to answer meaningfully
I was born in Florida moved to Hawaii it’s a hot swamp that’s completely flat and people are rude and it’s become very expensive. Hawaii is far more beautiful and nicer people. Granted lower taxes in Florida and maybe slightly less on food that’s about it
Thank you so much for sharing!
🎉congratulations Dylan 🎉
