Came to Hawaii in 1972 on a surf trip… still here… best decision I ever made…yearly world travel…helps break it up… and having a business….
I've lived here on big island for 10 years too. I'm leaving here for awhile. But I'll be back. Thanks for your perspective on finding new avenues to keep you going here!
Happy to help! Good luck
Great video! I can def relate! Take a break & come back refreshed! Enjoy your time w family. We'll be here when you get back 🙌🏼
You're the best!
How synchronistic that I found this video this week! I live down in Naalehu and have been feeling the nudge to leave - everything flowed for the first three years, but now everything seems to be crumbling haha. I think I need to connect back to my home in Ohio for awhile, but who knows what will happen after! Thanks for the video, it's very well done
Take a trip there and see how it feels.
I was just back in the states. Made me realize that I miss so many “normal things” about life
Love this new form of video! Great to see you be vulnerable and honest about your experience on the big island. Glad you’re staying
Thank you so much!!
Very relatable! thanks for sharing dude, just subscribed🤙🏾
Thanks for the sub!
I keep seeing these crazy looks in the eyes of the islanders.
Best video yet. It was interesting to see the TMT protest footage and bring up the issue of locals disliking outsiders. For me, farming and putting hands on soil for years was the way I became Kama’aina. Even still, 20 years later and I still ask if the islands will forever be my home. It’s really great if we can travel, but it’s often hard to make enough money to have that freedom.
I feel you! I started out here on a farm. I think that is the proper way to experience the life on Big Island. Travel is hard.. I’m headed to Utah for a trip tomorrow but I’ll need at least 5k to leave for vacation.
Thank you for creating this video from this lens and glad you found an office for your channel!
My pleasure! Thanks
Great video! I lived in Big Island for over a year altogether and asked myself similar questions so I'm happy for your decision! Aloha from Czechia
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Jon.
Great video. I had a lot of similar experiences and considerations that led me to decide to move abroad back into the world. Stay or go, its all in the flow of the islands. Listen to that intuition.
Well said!
Incredible video! Maybe You’re best yet. Well done👏🏼
Thanks! 😃 let’s make some stuff in Moab!!
Hilo is still as sweet & full of aloha as ever! 🌸
Awesome video!
Totally agree. New experiences keep things fresh and having a creative space keeps things focused. Killer job bro
You know! Thanks for the help. We gota make some more dope content
Right on. 👍 I agree 100
Amazing job! Love the footage, and definitely can understand after visiting that tension. I didn’t feel right staying for longer than just a vacation. For someone who shoots photography, but is on the main land I can get the limited access. But you can go visit and always come home to your paradise. So that’s a blessing in itself.
Hopefully you come out to California with Miles one of these days and we can show you Northern California and all it’s possibilities. 🫶🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! Hell ya I would love to
Excellent video. I love the story and edit (Kona boy here... so I might be biased). You deserve more viewers/subscribers than you have. Keep up the great work 🤙
Thank you!! It means a lot.
@@Jon_bodhi I mean it. All those views represent real people. Way to keep Kona Creative 👊
I enjoyed your video. I used to live in Boise but relocated to Hawaii. Although I only stayed for a year, I find myself missing it constantly. I completely relate to the concept of island fever. The high cost of living is a significant challenge, especially when working in the tourism industry. Saving money is nearly impossible with Hawaii's expensive lifestyle. Since leaving Hawaii, I've purchased a couple of houses. I've noticed that everything on the mainland tends to be more profitable compared to Hawaii. I hope to move back one day but not have to work as hard.
Nice dude! Buying a house here seems like a pipe dream. I make decent money but the market is way too high.
Well done bro
Thank you 🙏
I've lived on O'ahu 40 years, moving from Idaho & still love it! I am a visual artist & O'ahu does not have a lot of artistic opportunities either.
That’s cool! Oahu has the best food tho. Haven’t been for a while and should take trips there more
Good video, but you lost me talking about the $5 mango on BI? Maui maybe - not BI…
I went to the big Hawaii last year the island welcomed me I want to have a creative space on the big island and get some land. We can be homies if I move there
Hell ya! Down
West side of Big Island.
lol! Damn it I thought I changed that. Thank you!! 😅
Lol. At least for me it seems I can never edit enough. I always find something to fix. You and your videos are inspiring. I just started video editing and taking video and photos about a year and a half ago as someday I hope to quit landscaping as my body slowly fails from physical hard work. I love creating and I think that’s why I like photography and video. Maybe someday when I’m the big island, I’ll look you up and maybe we can talk story. PS. I didn’t really want to leave the big island I lived there for almost 10 yrs. I wish I never left. Knowing what I know now. Take good care.
For sure! I worked making tacos and burritos for 6 years living here before I could quit and do photography full time. (Weddings) I’m still struggling tho… but the economy is bad rn
So true, we lost 2 years due to covid-19,where can we get the time back that we lost?🤙
Yeah those 2 years wreaked me. Lost forever man
Homie Romie sent me and.....I'm staying. Sub'd.
Ayyy! Thanks! Romie da homie
Damn it is expensive.
I got property in mountain view off grid 🤙 thank God i don't pay rent or i wouldn't be able to afford it here
Ya man rent is insane right now
@@Jon_bodhi I saved up and bought a cheap plot of land in Puna I think the best way on the island is to just try to live off-grid grow your own food it's cheaper I get my eggs for free from my chickens
Jon, you've lived here on the Island of Hawaii for a decade and you say you've lived in east Hawaii, Kona??? SMH...Hilo is the East Side, Kailua, Kona is the West Side..What side do you think you lived on??
Jon - I fall into the Category of career is now over and want to return to Paradise for Autumn/Winter Chapers. I spent nine glorious months on the Island of Kauai mid 1990's. Sadly, I can not see any way into that market. Million dollar closet-sized homes is all that is left and no new building permits to ease low supply/high demand issue. Further, I'm aware of the Local Island Vibe. I'm also Hapa. HOWEVER - I know there's nothing I can do to help the cultural issue and don't want to hear about it either if/whenever I can ever get into that market. The Mainland has it's own issues (mostly race-based) and I'm sick of everything always in all ways dancing around an issue that never gains any traction, but is a hole in the ocean that everyone treats like the wailing wall. Do something about it, but not my issue and don't think that you have license to shove it down my throat just because I'm lucky enough to find a way in and live there. FWIW - This is my honest take from someone who busted their backside in a career and has no regrets about finding some place somewhere on the planet not to have to listen to an issue that never gets off the launch pad.
Thanks for sharing 🙏 I’m glad you found somewhere that fits your lifestyle

So, you've lived on the Big Island for ten years, and you say ( @ 1:35) that Kailua-Kona is on the EAST side of the island????? LOL
Yup! Typo. Thanks for watching
@@Jon_bodhi No, not a typo. You actually said it. I stopped watching after that.
We all knew what he was talking about and (for those who continued to watch) were able to gain greater insight into the bigger picture issue of the Grass is always Greener Question. The video wasn't posted for "Gotcha" folks looking to criticize. It was quite valuable and much appreciated your work and effort Jon. Thank you for posting. @@barbarawinsor5306
CLICK BAIT.
love n miss you jonboy, & you got some truly breathtaking footage, keep doin’ the damn thing. aloha🤍🤍🤍
