I feel like your brother-in-law. I was stationed there from 97-00 and I loved it. It's a special place. I try to visit it every year. That place never gets old to me. 🤙🏾
The people are great. As a tourist we never had a bad encounter with a local. We always felt welcomed. If I could make it make sense financially I would move to Hawaii next week
Hawaii is SOOOOOO special! Nothing like another place in the world! The culture is so special… I live in Southern California (Los Angeles) and a lot of the things you describe here are also a problem in this side of the world! Traffic, weird weather (lately the sun is not showing up), expensive everything. I am in-love with Oahu! I want to move there hopefully soon enough… the island is calling me… thank you so much for this video as always!
Wow Maila! Another home run with this video! Thank you for the information in such an entertaining delivery! We just love it anytime you post a new video…
@@mailagibson6787I have a question 🙋🏻♂️ so I was recently looking up apartments and rentals in the Honolulu area and noticed the rent is crazy high like 3,000 a studio high lol my question is how in the world do people afford this? I’m genuinely wanting to know I’m a cook and I couldn’t afford this on my current salary.
We are moving to the Big Island for the slower life style. My family is from Kauai but I like less rain so Kona is my choice. Also, I have heard you sing and you are great 👍 mahalo.
Love your videos, they're so easy breezy and just flow. Can appreciate the information you share, it's like talking to an old friend. The roaches though, that just hurts my spirit 🤣😂🤣.....Mahalo Maila.
Great video and yes, just wear rubbah slippahs when going to someone's house because it's easy to slip off and fits in with the local culture perfectly. Dressy socks and shoes will be for another occasion.
I see several other Missourians in your comments who can relate to your "red solo cup" reference....too funny. About to PCS to Hawaii from Germany and loving your videos for acquainting everyone with life in Hawaii without pushing sales. Your lighthearted delivery of valuable information will draw way more potential customers than those who just "push property". Thank you so much!
Thank you for making this video. I really enjoyed it. I know Hawaii has its cons and it’s not perfect. No place is but it seems like a wonderful place with even better people.
I love Hawaii so much is crazy. I don’t know how to explain it is like heaven. I feel so happy everyday even when it rains I like it 🤦. One day I will move to OAHU Hawaii for sure. I’m 32 wife is 31 investing and savings a lot to be ready by 39 be smart. 🤓
Thank a lot ...for yours explanations about Hawaii...so beautifful and friendly, I hope can visit Hawaii...I am from Central Sulawesi Indonesia...may God bless you Maila...❤
So glad to have found your channel! Fellow Missouri native here aspiring to live on Oahu in the next 5-6 years. I chuckled at your classic rock and red solo cup reference. A different culture for sure! But, one I can't wait to learn and be part of. Thank you for your quality videos and professional, but real talk.
It amazes me that after all these years, and several popular TV series, people still think Hawaii is full of unclothed and uncivilized people running from volcanoes. When I moved to a place on the mainland - the kind of city where most people live their whole lives - everyone was so ignorant about it and looked at me like I didn't know anything. People who say they want to avoid Hawaii because of volcanoes live in places that get a lot of tornadoes and hurricanes and don't think that is a problem. I have a distinct memory of being at someone's home and there were big roaches flying around. I also remember the pest control tents on houses. Another thing on crime, going by what I have heard, the break-ins at the beaches and trail heads is a big problem. Because of that I can understand if tourists stick to Waikiki because they can just walk out from a room.
I just I just started watching your channel I'm going to relocate there to Oahu on the 11th of September will be starting my RUclips channel then I am subscribed to your channel
At least you don’t have geckos 🦎 like they have in the Philippines. Lol 😂 Those things are everywhere and they eat the bugs in the house. So maybe they should introduce geckos to Hawaii 😂
i have wanted to move to hawaii for years for the culture, and your knowledge is awesome, i love everything, until the cockroaches, ugh my worst insect or whatever they are, everything fits my soul until the cats and cocroaches,, crap
"Jawaiian"...yeah!🤙🏽

So glad you liked it! Those roaches hurt my heart too…everyday.
This is the real deal. Thank you Maila! for the detail explanations. Awesome job!
😂 I’m so glad you liked it!

So true! I used to love strappy sandals, but as a realtor going in and out of homes, I wear slippers whenever possible.
But understand and be cool with the fact you might not be leaving with the slippahs you came with, especially if they were nice.
4 way stops: it is the person who stops first, unless two stop at same time then it is the person to the right. Great content aside 🤙🏼
Yeah! Like it's like one person will say, " You go brah", and another say, " Naw you go brah"...you be there at corner all day!🤦🏽♀️ Aloha Hawai'i!🤙🏽🌺
LOVED this video absolutely 💯 super awesome!! ♥️ MAHALO 🤙

Cancel a trip for a Volcano? More like take an unplanned trip for lava. Vog sucks though.
This might be a silly questions but do the locals care about someone with a lot of tattoos or piercings is it frowned upon?
