To be accepted by the locals, you really have to give back to the island and it's people, through some sort of volunteerism. Such as the food bank, organized sports, church groups, beach clean up's, etc. If your not willing to do these things, you'll always be an outsider, no matter how much money you have. Kauai is unique in this way. This takes years ,not months. Mahalo

Hey Andrew! The thing is - I never experienced any hate until recently. Everyone I have ever come in contact with has been so warm and kind. I think in my past life I was a talkshow host because I love asking questions and learning about people - so whenever I meet people - I can talk to them forever and get to know them. Like I said - always kind and respectful conversation from both sides. Anyway - hopefully there is peace moving forward ❤️ Thanks for the message

It took me 5-6 yrs to feel like the locals realized I was here to stay. This island should be looked at as and treated as a foreign country. The customs here are personal. ALOHA means something more than just hello. They expect you to know how to connect to each other’s heart through your eyes. It is a magical place that embraces true connections. They know when you’re faking it too and then you get “stink eye”. Not like to many places anywhere else in the world.

This is so funny, the "locals" aren't an indigenous people, most of the local people are a mix of all kinds of Asian and aren't really Hawaiians, I have lived in kauai for about 8yrs and have never felt like "an outsider", like any community, if you work hard and be respectful you'll be fine..

Hi Marla! Yes - the rents & cost of living are so incredibly high - especially compared to New Mexico. I have a friend who moved from Los Angeles to NM because the cost of living in Los Angeles is crazy expensive too. Home prices and rents are on an upward trend at the moment too - which is making things more difficult especially for local families looking for places. The salaries don't keep up with the rise in prices. I hope you can find a way to come back so you can be with family again. That's the hardest part for us - my parents are in MA and my partner's are in Portugal. We feel so far apart sometimes. Mahalo for your input and for watching ❤️

10 years ago our best friends sold their large very successful construction business in the New England area and moved to Kauai, both were in the mid-40s and a bit materialistic. They were very well off (McMansion at 600k well off), sold their home, boats, cars, and all their possessions and had a decent amount of money saved and had delusions of living there, and him finding a light job in construction, her something part-time in order to maintain some extra income. Since we had traveled to many of the Islands in the past and knew the costs we tried to warn them, but in their minds, they were going to be fine. They did manage to find a nice home there, for a hefty price and not the standard they are used to. But after 3 years they came back broke and had to start over by renting an apartment back in New England.

I had those same delusions myself, right out of high school 37 years ago! My best friend and I were going to Laverne & Shirley ourselves out to Hawaii, become hula dancers, the whole fantasy. So we sent a letter to some kind of chamber of commerce office to ask about moving there. I still remember what the letter we got back said, "Most people come to Hawaii expecting paradise. You are welcome to come, but please bring enough air fare to get back home." And this was nearly 40 years ago. That slapped us both into reality and the farthest we've gotten to the ocean is the Jersey Shore 😂

Kauai was the first--and so far only--island I have visited in Hawaii. I fell in love and pondered the reality of living there throughout my stay. It very much fits my lifestyle and attitudes. It was strange to realize that, because the place is so small, everything mentioned in the video--the north coast beaches, the large canyon--I saw those exact things. I knew exactly what you were talking about. By the way, I wasn't having trouble with food variety. I had great Japanese food along the south, and there was this excellent Indian food truck near the shopping area along the north coast. They served the best fish curry.

I loved the people and certain parts of the country, but it had so much trash. The coral reefs were all but gone too due to old fishing techniques where they would use dynamite. From what I hear though - they are trying to clean things up and educate the local people on what dumping trash can do to the land. I hear Thailand is different though in terms of being clean - is that correct? What places would you recommend in Thailand to visit? Would you recommend Koh Samui? Thanks for watching ❤️

Hi! I hope my video doesn't come off as I don't like the island, we love it. Just some things to get used to. Maybe as you live here a longer period of time you'll understand some things that can be difficult, but of course the pros outweigh the cons - hence why we are still here. We both have a business and it can be very tough to run a business here for a few different reasons. For instance - my fridge in my rental has been down almost 2 months because even though I have the part - labor is hard to get and be scheduled in. Another big thing is opportunity for kids (not sure if you have kids). My kids are getting really into chess, robotics, etc and it's hard to find those things for them on island. With regard to groceries - we've noticed the prices have lowered a bit, but eggs at Foodland still range from $8-$11 for a dozen. Of course you can pay that for 2 dozen at Costco though and even farmers markets can have cheaper eggs. Definitely ways to save, but a really huge price difference from everywhere we've lived. Anyway, welcome to the island! It truly is a magical place ❤️🌺

"J & Family" - Oooh, this clip was 24k gold, even though you posted two years ago. FWIW - I live on the Island of Madeira, Portugal = approx 400 miles West and off the Coast of Morocco. I ran a comparative against my current 4,000 sqft. home with those for sale on Kauai today (July, 2023). I am still reeling and pacing from the data. I lived and worked on Kauai back in 1996. I never needed (years), money or volunteering to assimilate into Kauai culture. I was a rabid Spear Fisherman and always showed up to every cook-out with a coolah choke full of Lobstah Brah. Worked every time. I also gravitated to Pidgeon naturally and with ease. I worked with a Guy named Ollie from Guam and I couldn't understand a single word he said at first. After nine months of employment, I'll never forget leaving with tears in my eyes knowing I could understand his every word upon my departure. Three families showed up to the airport when I waved "Goodbye" and headed back to the Mainland to finish my undergrad. We all had tears in our eyes. I always wanted to go back and still considering my options. Kauai and Hawaiian culture felt like Home and Family as early as two weeks after my arrival there, (not years). Years to assimilate, indicates a culture in direct conflict with how your values, morals and approaches are alligned with who you are and your strategy to help, fit in and serve the newly adopted community. Again, thank you. FWIW - finding Qualified Labor for A/C, plumbing, electrical, etc. in Portugal = is virtually impossible AND none speak a single word of English. Not one. Amazon Prime Euro deliveries takes week(s), not a 5 to 7 day span. Cool Breezes to you and yours.

Very good video. Good pros and cons. Medical/health care should be a main consideration before moving to Hawaii, especially if not Oahu. Health care is expensive everywhere but another necessity and cost of life. Consider your personal health. How often do you visit your primary care physician? How many times do you visit a specialist? How about five years from now. If you live outside Oahu and need a medical specialist, you may have to get an appointment, fly to Oahu, find ground transportation and get a hotel room if your timing is off. There is only one level one trauma center in Hawaii which is on Oahu. If you need major emergency care, you’ll need an air ambulance. I don’t know the cost for an air ambulance, but a nine mile, 15 minute ground ambulance on Oahu cost over $1,000. Everyone should have medical insurance anyway but if you live on Kauai, Maui, Molokai, Lanai or the island of Hawaii you should check if air ambulance flights are covered. We love Kauai but live on Oahu. I was fortunate to have been born in Hawaii, raised in Hawaii, traveled the world, lived in Japan and Europe. Hawaii has always been a beautiful, expensive place to live. The cost of living here will continue to increase so factor that into your decision. Costs have dramatically increased in the last three years. If you can “just about afford it” now how will you afford it in three years? This is not meant to be a big negative for living in Kauai. If you are seriously thinking of moving to Kauai and think you can “just about afford it”, be sure to have an emergency fund to cover the always unexpected emergencies. Wish you the best of luck.

Yes - island fever is hitting us hard right now 😂 We usually spend our summers in Portugal to visit our family and try to celebrate Christmas & New Year somewhere - but both those opportunities have come and gone. We are itching to travel soon. Hopefully we get back to semi-normal by the kid's next school vacation time so we can go anywhere - just somewhere 😂 I feel you on the opportunity side of things. We talk about that when it comes to our kids as they get older. From small things like being involved in things they are interested in - whether it's robotics or chess - to bigger things like job opportunities in the future. We'll see where the wind takes us. I wish you luck on your future. Thanks again for watching! ❤️

Well done and your beautiful 💕. I went to Kauai this summer and fell in love! Best most beautiful places I have been to. My cons: Food yuck! Unless your eating Fish and fresh fruits. Grocery prices are crazy high and I’m from the Bay Area in California . Transportation too much, I settled for the bus which had amazing views. I drove by a mountain that had 4 waterfalls!!! 💕💕💕 I don’t think the the locals like most visitors and I don’t blame them one bit. I would love to build a homestead and just live a simple life in Kauai but land costs about the same of a bay area home and that is wayyyy tooo much!!!!

We have spent October on the North Shore for many years, though those years are long gone. You get up at 5am and walk to Kee, with the Milky Way hanging bright over your head, reminding you of the universe and your speck in it. You take a shower on the side of the house when you return, and then lift hand weights for awhile. A breakfast, and you take your backpack and head up the beach, in shorts, to the point above Tunnels and drop your chair and read and watch and muse. You might drop the pants and walk into the water up to your chin, or snorkle for awihile, scooping up the shells. About 3pm, you drive into Hanalei, and get some fresh fish at the Dolphin for dinner. Dinner is on the porch which lasts to bedtime, and you do it over again and again and, for some of us, you never get bored of it. But it is an island in the middle of the Pacific, and there must always be an end, a time to come home to the real world. Of course, if you have trained for it, you take the pack and and walk the Kalalau Trail, nine miles of Nam jungle, to the Valley where you take a shower at the waterfall and lay down on the sand exhausted and listen to the combers roll in. And you can go up to the canyon and trek into the swamp to get to the rim overlooking Hanalei Bay. The South Shore sucks, for the tourists. You can hike or attempt to drive the old mud road that cuts from Princeville across the mountain to the South side, or hike through the old water tunnels, or visit the old estates of the interlopers who took ownership of most of the land. Just after crossing the first bridge on the road to Kee, there is a tiny market stand. Behind it, there is a a gate, which with permission from the market guy, you can hike into the last undeveloped valley which won''t last forever, past the water falls to the top where the river springs. But the North Shore is for you when you are young (under 60) and want to live in a state of nature. Of course, the money kings have long since taken possession of the beach front lots, and have high fences along the road, so all that is left is Peggy Slaughter's houses now owned by someone else. One thing though. When you buy the expensive produce at the Hanalei farmer's market, and you drive into town and park and leave the vehicle unlocked, the homeless will steal what you bought in the five minutes you are gone. Park your vehicle at Kee and leave it for the day, and the windows might be broken when you return. In the very old days, back when there was no traffic light at Hanalei, when the dogs laid in the roadway at night and refused to move, and you are lit from the drinks at Tahiti Nui, you might have driven to Tailor's Camp and partied with the Naked Hippies from San Francisco all night.

What you said about appliances is true right now, mostly due to the pandemic. Manufactures all over the country are behind. Also, cheaper to replace than repair in most cases. I just bought a new washer $808 delivered from HD. Needed my garage door fixed, repairman was here the next morning. Put in new A/C and was done in a week. Most of the building trades are slammed right now and 6 to 8 weeks out to even get estimates on some jobs. Eggs, food, I understand you said your on the N. shore, but Costco trip a few times a month is worth the savings IMO. Costco prices maybe 5% more on most items vs mainland. I agree with all of your 10 pro's so worth it to live here and get used to Island time. Great video! Aloha

Yes, Costco is definitely the saving grace! I have a large freezer box in my garage and try to buy lots of things that I can freeze. The only problem is trying to eat items that are fresh. I love veggies and fruits, but if I buy Costco size portions of either one, they will end up going to waste because we can't go through them so quickly and I hate throwing away food. I ordered my washing machine Sept 8th and still waiting for an update. I know everything is delayed and the pandemic has slowed things down even further, but even before the pandemic I felt like I was waiting a lifetime for things. As a society we always want things "fast and now" and I hate to admit, that I'm still getting used to not having that. I'm getting better though 😂 Again, thanks for watching!

I love Kauai and found your video interesting. I imagine cost of living would be lower on the west side (Kekaha or Waimea?) compared to the north. I really love the food there but maybe the lack of quality variety might wear on me. The best Mai Tai's are on that island though. All very subjective. I think Big Island might offer more choices? I also wonder about the native-transplant-haole "thing" that runs deep with certain folks. Thanks for the informative post - very well done!

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, in terms of housing, the homes and rental prices are cheaper, but everything else seems to be pretty similar. The lack of variety definitely gets to me, but I'm a dual citizen to Portugal, so I travel there every year and that helps break things up. Many people have mentioned"racism" from locals, but I've never experienced it. I've seen some people get disgruntled against tourists, but that's when people visit and aren't respectful to the local culture and land.

I lived there for 24 years. You should have put the Cons first because thats the everyday reality. Most people don't have the luxury of sitting on the beach all day. Making a living is very difficult . If you live in one of the enclaves where everybody is from someplace else and very wealthy, you wont experience any localism. And FYI Salmon is not native to Hawaii and any Salmon you are eating is farm-raised flown in and the same as you would get on the mainland. The cost of living is understated in your video. You mentioned electricity, but not gasoline which is also the highest in the nation.

Hi! I just wrote this to someone else and might pin my response with regard to the salmon 😂 "I know - people have already given me a lot of heat for this and I asked my partner how he would understand it. He said - people are going to think you mean you get fresh salmon locally. I just meant fresh tasting. I can't change the video now so I just have to say "oops" 😬 😂 Maybe I should've started with the cons - they do say to tell people bad news first. You're right with it being hard to make a living on island - I hear about the struggles often. Everyone keeps talking about localism, but in the 7 years I've lived here - I haven't experienced it and my kids haven't either. But - every since this video started becoming more popular - I have been getting some nasty comments from locals - so bad that KZitem automatically removed them. So - I guess it does exist.

We purchased a property on Kauai in 2011,and reside there part time. (no, we don't rent it.) 90% of the locals are very helpful, and nice to you. The other 10 % just want you to leave your money, and then just leave. Electric ,food ,and housing are very expensive. Schools are not the number one priority for the keiki, it's organized sports. Fishing and surfing take priority over showing up for work. 50% of the island is on some form of State or federal government assistance. I witnessed people with SNAP cards purchase alcohol. It rains constantly from October to April, depending on where you reside. It's not paradise, but it's the best choice in Hawaii. Mahalo!

Hi Squirrely Kat - I am sorry I didn't mention anything related to the true locals of the island. My parents are from the Açores islands (actually many Azoreans immigrated to Kauai to work on the sugar plantations back in the 1800) and I was raised to always respect all people and all cultures because we've lived in a mixing pot of cultures and backgrounds growing up. We had the Portuguese culture in our home and family, but America's melting pot around us. I guess I didn't think of needing to explain to others about respecting the land and people because I would think it's innate, but many people need the reminder, it's very true. I can only do better moving forward. Thank you for being kind in your comment. I appreciate not only the kindness, but also the respect. Aloha 🌺

@@YourHostJ You should mention that if one thinks they are going to move here and bring the San Diego/LA vibe with you and then expect to meet and enjoy the real spirit of Aloha when you settle here, they are mistaken. It takes some honest to goodness love in your heart and a deep and present and presented respect to the native AND local population and their traditions... especially on the North Shore. And at that even if you show aloha for real there are people on Kauai (although not as much as Oahu etc.) who won't like you and they do not want you here and there are even some who will hate you and threaten you. That being said, if you are generous with your heart and are respectful in earnest you will meet some of the friendliest most loving local and native people anywhere on Earth. Its up to you. If you bring the wrong attitude especially these days when everyone is looking to escape the mainland...you will not get to know the true Kauai, its locals, its traditions etc .Also I would mention that there are some areas where as a haole you are not welcome. Also I would mention that even if and when you get excepted by the native folks in you neighborhood, Hawaiians don't socialize the way mainlanders do...ie dinner parties etc....people keep to themselves here by and large and when they gather for parties and special occasions natives and locals don't just welcome you over.......if you are mixing and you are the exception it is because you have proven yourself..passed the test if you will and then like I said you will be among some of the most genuine loving people on Earth. My electric bill is under $80 (no AC) and I found and covet my electrician and plumber.

Mike's dad aka "Rich Dad" was during the 50s and 60s the weathest man in the state. He was said to be very humble and treated every one with respect and dignity. So I can totally see wealthy people in Hawaii today being very low key about their money.
