You should definitely see the rest of the country. Hawaii is its own thing and very different from other states. It will keep you open minded if you live amongst other cultures.

I have lived in New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. All big cities and I hate it all. I go to Hawaii for vacation all the time and I love it. I actually just got back 3 weeks ago from there. I have no family there, but my sister's husband is from the the Big Island as well as his family. When I go there I do as the locals do, I have respect for them and their land and am treated very well. 99.9% of the time I am mistaken for a local and love the treatment i get when I got there. Living in big cities all my life I really appreciate places where people take time to make friends and slow down. If I could I would move there. I respect their cultural and think their cultural is real beautiful as well as the people. I honor their beliefs and love the countryside, not so much Waikiki. I say stay their do as the locals, get to know their cultural from the acient times to the present and you will understand the locals real well and their mannerism of respect and Aloha. Then when you get old enough trying something else if you need to, then compare. But I will tell you this much though, I am a Filipino who spent a lot of my growing up in Los Angeles, though there is a big Filipino Community here, I feel more welcomed in Hawaii by my Islander cousins then Los Angeles, where everyone is all about the "Hollywood Lifestyle". Keep it pure, simple, and honest. Take care and to all my Islander cousins, Mabuhay, Aloha, Talofa, Kia Ora.........

just remember you can always come home to hawaii. i moved down here a while back from a small town and it is a big difference, but remember whether you stay or go, there is a big world out there and lots to experience! do it while you can!!! I lived in wisconsin, and it was nice, Kentucky, and that was nice too, Missouri had some interesting weather, when i lived in New Jersey it was a lot of fun too, and Germany was a blast, all different experiences, but moving to honolulu was the best thing i ever did...
like i said you can always come back, but experience the world while you can!

If you look at all the good small towns in the U.S., it’s like someone threw a handful of sand on a blank map of our continent.

You have to ask yourself what you want in a place to reside:

1. Am I going to school?
2. What kind of flavor do I like in a town, i.e., southern as opposed to northern, New Orleans as opposed to the Great Puget Sound area?
3. Does the town have all the things I want and need, i.e., stores, schools, transportation, services, hospitals, etc?
4. Do I like the weather, i.e., four seasons as opposed to one?
5. Do I just want to live in this town permanently just in transition?

I suggest you sit down and do some “Paper and Pen” therapy. When you have written down your wants and needs, then find a town that supplies all, or nearly all, of them.

Wow. It must be beautiful. The only thing I see as a downside to living there is that it costs so much to go to the mainland. If you want to do weekend getaway in Chicago, Vegas, LA it would be costly.

You could always move away then return if you are not happy elsewhere.
