Stay tuned for the next video - East Side!
Thank you so much. Tonight I am BINGING on a few of your videos. I lived in Haena for a year in 1988 / 89 when my son was born. We ran a B & B. It was pure perfection. I was sadly a loyal partner who went back to Cali & Puerta Vallarta (not too bad at all) due to 'him' ready to leave. Then in mid 90's lived in Kapahi and once again, my man got 'island fever' and I loyally left after only 6 months. Now I'm almost 60, solo, and praying to all the Gods I get to return. If only we invested in Haena in the 80's instead of investing in men who would actually let me down in the long run. Kauai never let me down. Maybe it's my spirit home. Much Aloha and Gratitude for your generous & informative videos. With luck and determination - I'll touch back down in beautiful North Shore.
Thank you! Love your videos, personality and topics. 🥰
Oh my gosh, Stephanie. Thank you for taking the time out to write such a sweet comment ❤️ So glad you enjoy my videos!
Aloha ,great video ,thanks for sharing . One of the most beautiful and peaceful island on the planet .I discovered in 1990 I was traveling all 6 island and my favorite garden island 🏝
Thank you so much for watching, Rimas. Yes - The Garden Island is truly magical!
love learning all about hawaii from you! I stayed there in February and cant wait to go back
Thank you so much for watching! It is a magical place. ❤️ I feel very lucky
We've been here almost a year now and I wanted to thank you for your videos. They helped us decide and we love it. (Lihue/Puhi) Mahalo!!
Hi! I'm so happy to hear that! Hope you are loving the island. Has it been a big change for you? Where did you move from?
Wow, excellent job. Makes me want to travel there, and stay there, and I just stumbled onto your channel.
Awww! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for subscribing too!
Kauai is a dream island to live on one day
Hi....Thanks for the time you take to post these videos, we have a home on the North
Shore and honestly we can never spend too much time there. seeing your posts makes us feel like I'm there....much mahalo for that. We will be there in a few days to enjoy paradise
Thanks so much for watching, Anthony! I'm glad I can make you feel like you're at your home away from home ❤️ The island is almost back to the way it was before the virus. Everything is open and it seems like everyone is being respectful. It's nice to see the island getting back to semi-normal. Enjoy your time here. Thanks again for watching!
Hi! Love these videos. Hawai’i is such a dream and I hope to live there one day. I would love to hear about your journey of how you ended up on Kauai!😊
Thank you so much for watching! A couple of people have asked the same question, so I'll definitely add it to the list of videos I'll make soon. Thank you again!
traveled to kauai a few years back for my honeymoon, stayed at the princeville resort. this video gave me such fond memories, kauai is absolutely beautiful, and so clean. one of my favorite places on earth.
Hi Joe - I missed this comment somehow. So glad I can help bring back some memories for you. Maybe you can visit Kauai again in the future ❤️
Being born and raised on Kauai, we used to camp on auntie Lizzie's property on the other side of the Anini stream at the end at Anini road every summer and sometimes at Ha'ena beach park adjacent to the dry cave and Hanalei bay towards the river.
Hey again Jason! I can imagine how different Kauai used to be back when. Do you still live on island? In the 7 years I've lived there - I've already seen quite a change. Love Anini. Great for the kiddos to play and explore!
Love the video! I'm moving to the north shore in a few weeks and I couldn't be more excited!!
Thank you! How exciting! You'll love it. Where are you moving from?
@@YourHostJ Moving from socal!
@@veronicafensel926 Just like me! 😀
@@YourHostJ no way very cool!
@@YourHostJ do you have any recommendations for shipping companies?
Just got back to Oahu from visiting the NorSai of Kauai (Princeville). First time there and couldn’t help feeling like Princeville was “Bushwood” Country Club. People look homeless but I know they wealthy. Ain’t goin be poor owning real estate North Shore Kauai.
GREAT VIDEO! I LEARNED A LOT!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Here’s the video I was hoping you’d have!
Glad you found it!
Wow.... you are truly professional in what you do. Bravo!
Thank you so much ❤️
Excellent info, especially about the real estate prices. Surprised to know that Princeville was quite affordable.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed them ❤️
Awesome video.
Glad you like it!
Hi! Love the video. Do you have recommendations for legal/safe camping areas? i’ve been to kauai before and camped at Anini the whole time but on my upcoming trip i’d love to stay at some new places. Thank you!
Fantastic summary! We're looking for a North shore home ideally with pool or spa for a 1 week stay this winter - no golf course, all natural - any suggestion or just go vrbo?
Hi Greg! I'd definitely look at Airbnb/VRBO. Airbnb has a larger number of listings, but checkout both. Both companies have filters you can enter to help you find that perfect listing. Thank you so much for your positive message. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching! ❤️
Thank you so much! I love these videos. I’ll be living in Princeville for work for 3 months. Do you think it’s easy to bike to Hanalei and back to Princeville?
Thanks for watching! The hill from Hanalei into Princeville is quite steep. The only people I rarely see doing that are the riders who are all geared up like professional racers. I'd definitely buy a car or scooter.
Your Host - J Thank you so much! I really appreciate that suggestion.Google cannot answer these type of questions. Lol
@@MsLaBajo 😂 For sure! Let me know if you need any help with anything else!
We are coming to Kauai soon.
Yay!
Great Presentation, Several years ago I had chance to be stationed, made advancement so lost orders there. Always thought I missed a great chance to live in Kauai. Does Barking Sands still operate there?
Hi Harold and I'm glad you like my video ❤️ Yes - Barking Sands is still in operation! Thanks for watching and for your service 🙏🏻
Hello love the video! I’ve heard the beaches are rough in the winter, is this true at all north shore beaches? We are planning on traveling from January-End of April and definitely want to take advantage of the beaches but want to avoid rough seas! Another question: is parking accessible and free at the beaches? Thanks!
Hi! Thanks so much for watching. Yes - ocean is definitely rough more frequently in the winter months - but to be honest - winter time is my favorite part of the year on island! You can go to beaches that have reef protection and swim - just don't go too far out. You'll be fine visiting in the winter - you'll love it. We are constantly at the beach in the winter. Also - yes the parking is accessible and free! Thanks again for watching!
Love the videos. Can you make one for older seniors that would like to spend their finals days in Kauai. Where would the best town to live in. Concerned about the safety of living alone with no family around. Thank You
Hi Kathryn and thanks for the suggestion! North Shore & South Shore are popular retirement communities. Many of my neighbors are older and live alone and they feel safe and are happy. I'm traveling now so I'd have to make those videos when I get back. Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤ i like your videos, and your realism, honesty, and directness, and i am happy to learn of your trajectory from Mass, to CA, to Hi and all that you have done to get there. proud of you. what i am wondering for myself is, is there any way that a relatively unambitious not hard working, not working at all, actually, 53 year old surfer could live on about 1,000 a month, who wants to spend all their time surfing, paddle boarding, and laying on the beach like a true beach bum, could make that happen. also, i have no shame and i don't care if ben stiller sees me waking up on the beach in the morning before coffee and a sesh :)also, i would be more than happy to sleep in a car in a parking space at my favorite surf break, if thats an option :)
Notification turned on so we don't miss your future videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
The only problem is a local policy that requires all street and/or flood lights on roads outside the Princeville area be off at night in the North Shore area to protect some local species of birds. It's total darkness driving, walking, or bicycling on the roads at night. A couple of years ago we took a drive from Princeville to Hanalei to get Pizza and drove on a winding road in total darkness to get there. I've been stationed at military bases all over the world and it's like driving in some godforsaken back road in a third world country. As long as you stay in your residential area at night it's great, just watch traveling at night between towns in the North Shore area.
Thanks for watching, Mark! They have added a few street lights, but I don't know if the darkness is that bad. They have also repaved lots of the main roads and added bright reflectors on the streets. Just have to drive slowly and put your high beams on when you can. I've driven lots of times from the airport to the North Side and don't think anything of it. Maybe I'm just used to it.
Hi J! We used to park on a short street between houses that would fit about 6-8 cars that ended right in the middle of tunnels. I've heard that parking is now restricted there. Is that true? Where do you park when going to tunnels?
Hey Mark! I haven't been to Tunnels in probably a month or so, but I used that same parking area. I don't remember any restrictions, but the road has gotten pretty rough and full of muddy potholes so you have to be careful. But, if it's full - there is the main parking lot area just slightly further down the road on your right which you can't miss. Thanks for watching ❤️
also Bethany Hamilton is from the North Shore
I’m moving to Kauai in the future for teaching and wondering if you would be able to help me find an apartment
What neighborhood on the north shore do you think is the safest (lowest drug/break in rates) if you had to guess?
Thank you!
Hi! The North Shore overall is pretty safe, but if I had to truly take a guess I'd say Princeville and Hanalei. If you have a rental car though - unfortunately those, no matter where you are on island, can be targets. Just make sure to not leave anything valuable in the car.
I want to move to hanalei but it is expensive. Im only 14 and i plan to go to college somewhere in hawaii but after i want to move to hanalei any tips?
Hi again! Hanalei is a bit of a distance from KCC (about an hour), but if you are taking online courses then, of course, you can be anywhere. There are different types of jobs that offer free housing with work (farms, on-site property managers, etc). Just depends what you want to do. I'd Google "jobs Hanalei" and go from there. You still have a few years ahead of you and you have lots of time to plan ahead, which is great!
You should do ASMR. You have a soothing voice.
Too funny. I get that all the time. I just learned what it was a couple of weeks ago when I kept getting requests to do it. Would have to learn more about it. Who knows....maybe I'll dabble in it. Thanks for watching ❤️
@@YourHostJ 😅👍
Princeville!!!!!
Yes!!!!
What a babe🥰
Thank you! 💖
I’m looking for an article on an ex NFL player who retired in Hanalei. I’m wondering if you know about this?
Sorry - not too sure. Was the article in The Garden Island?
@@YourHostJ I can’t remember what publication. It’s been at least 15 years ago. The guy originally built a house in Colorado didn’t like it and moved to Hanalei. He had his own seat at the local bar. He befriended a local and help spread the local fathers ashes in a special place where sharks are known to be. I’ve tried searching but never found the article. It was about six pages long. Thanks anyways, enjoying your channel
hello ! i am wanting to move do you know where i could find a job with shelter ?
Hello Laila! You'll have to look at co-op programs. I think it's harder to find jobs that include living arrangements when you don't live on island. I've noticed those are more word of mouth. There are of course things like property managers that include a unit with the job, but that requires a real estate license. If you are job hunting - look at craiglist and monster.com as there are things usually posted there as well. Good luck!
Fun fact, Michael Jordan’s favorite island out of all the islands he visited in Hawaii was Kaua’i.
I didn't know that! Thanks for the fun fact ❤️
@@YourHostJ Thanks for the videos. Lived on Kauai all my life. I remembered in grade school at an assembly, the VP told us MJ’s favorite island. So that tells a lot that a legend picks our island as the favorite.
@@LALakers4life34 Not so fun fact he doesn't tip anyone in any service industry. I love Kauai but he doesn't deserve it for its beauty or people
@@tanyakarazan8094 You’re just jealous because you’re not a world figure jealous ones still envy and the goat really was better than your pathetic life smfh MJ got ZILLIONS of dollars compared to your 100’s rotfl
I've got a couple of acres, I try to keep them on the North Shore! Care to join me for a neighborly cocktail?
How nice! I miss grabbing a drink when I want - but trying to keep my hubby and kids safe by sticking to close friends and family at this time. Thanks for watching ❤️
@@YourHostJ Hi -J, Enjoy your vlog and I must say you are a very pretty woman.
@@bw7471 So sweet of you to say. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
@@bw7471 Sounds a little creepy dude
Will you marry me?
Awwww....so sweet ❤️ Thanks for watching
@@YourHostJ but I love you ❤️
@@bawbhamner Dude creepy cant you see she has kids and a husband in the beginning of the video. And professing love after seeing a woman on a youtube video is a little odd.
@@luisromanlegionaire you’re just mad I got a reply and you didn’t
@@bawbhamner see you are creepy with the quick reply stalking her channel lol even creepier now that you are holding the 'hamner' in your hand :D
Looks really boring
Guess if you are not into family life and have money then yeah you are stuck on a gorgeous island and may get island fever. To each their own.
