![7 Tips For Moving To Hawaii [EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW]](/img/n.gif)
This confirmed exactly what we were thinking moving from the mainland. Mahalo!
Glad this helped!
I appreciate the clarity and multiple perspectives to help a mainlander understand the process
I will move to Hawaii as a long vacation, 6 month trial. The west side of Oahu. Makaha Valley has very attractive long term packages. After a 6 month stay, you will know if you want to stay. Then you can buy or rent from there. I am starting a 3 year plan of not having any ties. I want to live in several countries. Hawaii is top of my list.
Healthy Bank Account!
Absolutely correct! We essentially came with the car and my wifes piano.
Oh man, the piano?
@@livehawaii I was a bit concerned that it would fit in the elevator...
That must be one pretty special piano
That’s what I did when I moved from Florida to Southern California. Got rid of all my furniture. Just packed my mustang up with some clothes , a few kitchen items and drove west .
Cool! How long ago was that? You're going against the flow!
@@livehawaii this September will be my 2nd year. I love it here In San Diego. No regrets!
Very cool. SD is a great place
I visited in October (a few years ago) and there were winter clothes in the store. It was difficult because I needed some more summer clothes. I did find a sundress in Waikiki.
I was in West Maui in February and it was chilly. It rained 3 of the 7 days we were there so I'm glad I brought my hooded light weight raincoat. Yes, it does get chilly enough to need a light sweater at tmes.
What is the difference between a lanai and a patio? I have part of the backyard tiled over in concrete and some outdoor furniture on the concrete. I call that a patio.
The definition is: Porch, veranda, balcony, booth, shed; temporary roofed construction with open sides near a house.
I'm watching you today from.... Honolulu! I'm staying for 15 days
Very cool!
@@livehawaii I'm thinking about moving here
Pretty enchanting place right?
@@livehawaii yeah I've been to Hawaii 3 times , two times to Oahu and once to Big Island. It seems like everything costs more but people make less money..
See my other video on "can you afford it and is it worth it"
Hey dude. I am currently house less and living in NYC. I am in a shelter and want to move to Hawaii at some point. It's just me. I don't have a wife or kids yet so I am ready to pack what little belongings I own and money saved and go. My plan is to wait until I have at least 10k or more saved and fly out. When ready I want to go out there to visit to look for work. I don't have a few skills, but do best in the realms of photography and videography work. My question is could a single guy move there on his own and live a quality life? I don't want a mansion or large house. I just want to rent a room or small studio, preferably in Oahu or the big island. Cheers dude!
Based on the information you provided, I would say that no, it will not be a good move here. It's a much worse economic situation here than in New York and will be much more difficult quality of life.
@@livehawaii Thanjs for the reply. I still want to come. I'll figure something out. If i have to work multiple jobs, so be it. Hey, are the people really as friendly as some say. People are not friendly here in NYC for the most part. I'm originally from a small suburban town in Jersey and parts of Hawaii remind ms of my home town. People were more open and kind in Jersey. Much more than here in NYC.
I can’t remember where I heard it but I heard that certain types of vehicles are easier to get parts for than others. So my question is if I were to ship a vehicle over what brands of car/pickup should I bring for ease of maintenance and longevity?
Depends where you actually move to but keep with common brands
If I ship my Tesla can it have a full charge? sorry...couldn't resist
I wish I had moved to Hawaii when I visited in ‘86 before it became high-end. I work from home so I can live anywhere but the housing cost and the number of homeless people everywhere is a concern.
I had that wish in '84! And I had the idealism of youth to not think it through. But here I am.
bring one suit case,,,full of money,,,,
What about Pallets? I read 4x4x7 pallets, shrink wrapped are $350 each as long as they don't go over 5000 lbs?
If you're talking about that much to ship, you're really nibbling at the edges in terms of cost cutting
I appreciate your quick response. I believe with 1-2 pallets at $350 ea. it's affordable for me who is going to be renting a room or possibly a studio. I need to bring important things in a series of boxes that will stay with me forever. I will be living with a friend while I'm working out my job and permanent living situation. I've lived there twice before, but this time I'm staying until they put me in the ground. @@livehawaii
Can you put a car in a shipping container and fill the rest of the space with your "stuff"?
No
If I won the lottery, I'd bring my cat, lots of books, my records, art supplies, art that I like the best, and my antique furniture. (One piece is a family heirloom from the 1700's)
What about surfboards? Is it cheaper to buy on island or pay the fee to ship on the plane?
Depends on what you love your surfboard. Did you look into how much it would cost to ship it on a plane?
Dylan, what size container for car + personal things?
He was referring to a full size 40 ft container
Is it possible to live comfortably in/near Honolulu if you got a job as a police officer there?
No one size fits all answer here. Check out the video I created about Hawaii "can you afford it and is it worth it"
regarding moving? Can you get residency if you purchase real estate of a certain value?
You have to look up the immigration laws from your particular country
@@livehawaii I believe it’s upon arrival country regulations
What about Parrot?
What about it?
Tools?
How many lbs of tools?
@@livehawaii idk exactly, but it's a way to make a living and take care of your own needs.
I think tools would b worth it if u crate them up.
thinking about moving to Maui how is it in Maui
Maui like the rest of Hawaii - incredible!
Healthy Attitüde!
Sorry, I mean " positiv Attitüde "
Aloha spirit
Coleman gear.
Why repeatedly mention "You have no idea where you're gonna move, don't even bring your coffee maker because you don't know how much counter space you'll have"? People usually visit a place in person before signing a lease, or at least get a virtual tour. And a coffee maker doesn't take up THAT much counter space :)
well you'll recall that I did say I'd bring my coffee grinder. virtual tour or not, there are so many variables in making such a big move that, unless you really are wedded to that coffee maker, leave it back. Either that or do what Dylan says and load up a 20-40' container.
@@livehawaii Makes sense. I'll only bring my suitcase and portable electronics.
@@DanDascalescu-dandv that's the way!
Sometimes the employer foots relocation costs also. Just another point not mentioned
The only employer I know of that pays for relocation cost is the military. You are correct, it is a point I did not mention, however it's so extraordinarily rare that it hardly applies to anyone
hello there
