With the rise of remote work, secluded places with a lot of natural beauty are becoming more popular places to call home. Hawaii<\/a>, once considered primarily a vacation destination<\/a> is now becoming a more plausible place to set up permanent residence. And why not? Surf, sand, delicious food, friendly people\u2014you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a reason not to live in Hawaii. But before you pack your bags, you should be aware of some things about island life and living in Hawaii<\/a> in particular. But while it has its challenges, making Hawaii home is worth it.<\/p>\n

1. Aloha is a way of life.<\/h2>\n

Aloha means hello and goodbye. But aloha is more than a greeting and farewell\u2014it\u2019s a fundamental way of life for Hawaii residents. Aloha is a philosophy of peace, love, empathy, and mutual respect that encompasses the culture of Hawaii. If you consider living in Hawaii, prepare to learn and adopt the true meaning of aloha.<\/p>\n

2. Island living takes getting used to.<\/h2>\n

Hawaii is a very remote archipelago with no states in sight, so life in Hawaii can feel very secluded. There\u2019s no such thing as a road trip when you live here. The culture and lifestyle are very different from most mainland states, and you can feel isolated from your friends and family stateside. If you\u2019re not prepared, island life can be a bit of a shock, so don\u2019t be surprised when Island Fever strikes. It will pass.<\/p>\n

3. Everything is a little slower in Hawaii…<\/div>\n

Seriously, everything<\/i> is slower in Hawaii. From internet speeds to the pace of life, Hawaii living teaches you how to slow down. Get used to walking, talking, and living a little slower. Forget about same- or next-day Amazon deliveries. The slow pace is an attitude as well; there\u2019s no room in Hawaii for your rushed impatience. So, sit back, relax, learn to take it slow, and enjoy living in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

4. …including the driving.<\/div>\n

You might think that living on an isolated island means it\u2019s a breeze to get around, but that\u2019s just not the case in Hawaii\u2014especially in Honolulu<\/a>, which has some of the worst traffic in the country (second only to Los Angeles). According to statistics, the average driver spends 50 hours a year sitting in traffic here, which can aggravate even the chillest person out there.<\/p>\n

5. Prepare to spend more money.<\/div>\n

Unfortunately, living in paradise comes at a cost. Hawaii\u2019s isolation makes it difficult and slow to receive items that are commonly imported to the mainland, so the cost of simple things like milk and gas will cause a bit of sticker shock. But housing prices are the real shock. Housing can be triple the cost of properties of the same size\u2014if not smaller\u2014on the mainland. And the internal agony of paying such higher shipping costs never really subsides.<\/p>\n

6. You\u2019ll have to learn to speak like a Hawaiian mo\u2019 betta.<\/div>\n

It\u2019s going to take a minute to get used to the Hawaiian local dialect<\/a>, which can be a mix of English, Hawaiian, and Pidgin\/Creole. The surfing boom in Hawaii has heavily influenced slang, with terms like \u201cbrah\u201d and \u201cda kine\u201d used often. If you hear someone say, \u201cWe go beach bumbye, brah,\u201d it means, \u201cWe\u2019re going to the beach later.\u201d You\u2019ll probably pick up some words naturally, but don\u2019t try to force the dialect.<\/p>\n

7. You\u2019ve probably been saying \u201cHawaii\u201d wrong your whole life.<\/div>\n

Which isn\u2019t a big deal because you don\u2019t live in Hawaii yet. But when you move here, you should pronounce it correctly if you don\u2019t want to look like a tourist. On the islands, it\u2019s pronounced like \u201cHa-VIE-ee,\u201d not \u201cHA-why-ee.\u201d It\u2019s a subtle shift that makes a big difference.<\/p>\n

8. Living in Hawaii doesn\u2019t make you Hawaiian\u2026<\/div>\n

Being born in Hawaii doesn\u2019t make you Hawaiian; it makes you a local. Native Hawaiian people are an indigenous race, so don\u2019t start referring to yourself as Hawaiian no matter how long you live there because it\u2019s considered disrespectful. And don\u2019t expect to be embraced as a local right away either. Embrace the culture, make some friends, and give the island respect and over time, you\u2019ll earn your place as a local. Be prepared to get called a haole<\/i> (a derogatory term for a non-native) pretty often\u2014usually in jest.<\/p>\n

9. …but you will find a whole new adopted family.<\/div>\n

\"21
\nOhana<\/em> means \u201cfamily\u201d in Hawaiian, whether it\u2019s your biological family or your chosen family. In Hawaii, the people that you meet and are lucky enough to become close with will become your ohana. Your friends become your cousins and all the women in your life who are older then you become your aunties, so be prepared to make space in your life for your new family.<\/p>\n

10. It\u2019s all about the 808.<\/div>\n

Some people care about their area codes, but in Hawaii, it\u2019s serious. The sole area code for the whole state, all islands included, is 808. When you switch to an 808 area code, you can officially say you live in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

11. No need to fix the clock.<\/div>\n

Hawaii is one of only two states that doesn\u2019t observe daylight savings time. You\u2019ll never have to worry about remembering if you spring forward or fall back, or deal with losing an hour of sleep in the spring. Sounds great, right?<\/p>\n

12. The malasadas will change your life.<\/div>\n

How malasadas are not as popular everywhere else as they are in Hawaii remains a mystery. A malasada is a rich, deep fried dough coated in sugar. It\u2019s amazing that in America it isn\u2019t on every menu in every state. But it\u2019s just another thing that makes Hawaii so special. They\u2019ve got the best surfing and, hands down, the best malasadas.<\/p>\n

13. Volcano insurance is a thing.<\/div>\n

When you move to places like the Big Island, you\u2019ll find that properties are listed by varying Lava Zones. Lava Hazard Zone 1 means the greatest risk of damage due to an eruption, and Lava Zones 3 and 4 mean that the chances of damage are much slimmer. But don\u2019t let it scare you off. It\u2019s similar to living near the San Andreas Fault in California or near the Gulf of Mexico during hurricane season. Living in Hawaii, a place with volcanoes, is manageable as long as you\u2019re prepared and alert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

14. Switch your license over fast\u2014it\u2019s worth it.<\/div>\n

When you move to Hawaii, don\u2019t procrastinate on switching your documents like your license and tags. Having proof that you\u2019re a Hawaiian resident rather than a tourist can get you discounts on rates at some hotels and restaurants. And driving around with a Missouri tag is a dead giveaway that you\u2019re not a local and you\u2019ll stick out like a sore haole thumb.<\/p>\n

15. They\u2019re \u201cslippers,\u201d not \u201cflip-flops.\u201d<\/div>\n

What everyone else in the country calls flip-flops are slippers, pronounced \u201cslippahs,\u201d to the people of Hawaii. Don\u2019t call them flip-flops here or everyone will laugh at you. Slippers, and even no shoes at all, are considered practical daily footwear for island life.<\/p>\n

16. Watch out for mold and rust.<\/div>\n

Depending on where you live in Hawaii, it can get pretty damp. That means you\u2019ll be battling mold and rust for the rest of your life. You\u2019ll replace bikes more often and find your car needing a new paint job much faster than you did (if you ever needed one) on the mainland.<\/p>\n

17. Invest in a good GPS system.<\/div>\n

The roads in Hawaii can get confusing and reception can be spotty, so it\u2019s important to invest in a good GPS system and keep it updated until you get used to the roads. Spend some quality time getting to know your way around because it\u2019s one of the most important things you can do to safely adapt to life here in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

18. You\u2019ll learn to love Spam (if you don\u2019t already).<\/div>\n

Spam is a common ingredient in Hawaiian cuisine\u2014whether at a hole-in-the-wall takeout spot or an upscale restaurant. If the thought of it has always seemed unappetizing, prepare to have your mind changed. Sam is prepared in a variety of creative and delicious ways in Hawaii. Just ask a local about where to get the best Spam musubi and prepare to view Spam in a whole new light.<\/p>\n

19. People are serious about shaved ice.<\/div>\n

Forget everything you know about shaved ice, Italian ice, water ice, or snow cones. The shaved ice in Hawaii is truly special and will permanently ruin all other icy treats for you. For the best of the best, head to Matsumoto\u2019s.<\/p>\n

20. May Day is Lei Day.<\/div>\n

\"21
\nThe first day of May kicks off the May Day celebration throughout the state of Hawaii at 9 a.m., continuing through the next day. This huge annual event honors Hawaii\u2019s rich culture and the significance of leis. Each island creates leis from the designated flower that represents their island and they host several special events. The Big Island holds the Hilo Lei Day Festival featuring live music, hula, craft demonstrations, and workshops on how to preserve native Hawaiian plants.<\/p>\n

21. Get familiar with the plate lunch.<\/div>\n

The South has \u201cmeat and threes,\u201d Upstate New York has \u201cgarbage plates,\u201d and Hawaii has the \u201cplate lunch.\u201d This quintessential Hawaiian meal is similar to the others but with a Pan-Asian influence. A basic plate lunch is made up of a couple of scoops of white rice, macaroni salad, and an entr\u00e9e meat. A \u201cmixed plate\u201d features more than one entr\u00e9e.
