Ever since my first trip to Hawaii about 4 years ago now I've had this little dream in the back of my mind of trying to craft a life that would alow me to move there. It's not easy though, especially as a non US citizen (I'm Canadian). Jobs are hard to find, a lot of people take anything they can find (which in my case would be totally fine lol). I also know that as friendly and wonderful as the people are there is something of an anti-"off islander" sentiment at times. And I don't blame them at all, given the small resources of the islands and the intense demand, they don't want to see things ruined, and it would be so easy to do.

My dream would be to move to Hanalei or thereabouts in the north of the island!
