I hope to live there (specifically Kauai) someday. My husband has a potential to get a job there in 5 years or so. I don’t want to live there for life, just spend a few years there. It’s very $$$.

Just know that, in general, Hawaii is not like it used to be.

Monsanto has decided to experiment on GMOs and chemicals on the West shore of Kauai. The island is beautiful, but don’t live on the west side. Specifically, don’t live near the coffee filelds. They spray them every day and my friend who did live there said the local community near the spraying has a 40% cancer rate. No thannks!

Oahu is getting too commercial, but I went there for over a week last summer and the north shore is still “country.” I hope it stays that way.

Big Island (aka Hawaii) seems to be the most old school and hasn’t allowed Monsanto there. Also it’s big enough to keep a country feel. You’d have to deal with volcanos sometimes there, but it might be worth looking into depending on what jobs are available.

Don’t know as much about the other islands. Just those 3.

@Le_Squish lives on Big Island, I believe. She might have some input.
