| Our Oahu Apartment |
We
loved living on Hawaii Island for the past 7 years. We were able to
experience the culture, climate, and life styles of Hilo, Kona, and
Kohala. The beaches, food, people, and amazing activities on the Big Island
have been a constant source of entertainment and enjoyment for us. Even
so, our endless wanderlust, made us wonder what it would be like to live on the other islands in Hawaii.
Our
son attended college on Oahu, so we visited the island many times. Although the noise and congestion in Waikiki was too much for us, we marveled at
the shops, restaurants and sights to see elsewhere on the island.
There is also the draw of jobs, particularly jobs requiring technical
skills. We started looking around and found a great job in West Oahu.
Last month, we moved from Hawaii Island to find out if living on Oahu is as much fun
as it looks. Our move kept us too busy
and overwhelmed to blog; but we are back to it now.
Although
we are in Oahu, we plan to continue to update our HiloLiving website and
calendar. We still own property on the Big Island and consider it
our home.
Our
next blog will be about our move from Kohala on the Big Island to Oahu. We always assumed
that moving between islands in Hawaii would be easier and cheaper than our move from California to Hilo. We were very wrong.

Can I ask about your job search strategy for tech jobs on Oahu? What sites did you look on, what recruiters did you work with, etc?
My husband and I recently moved to the Big Island, and are already contemplating a relocation to another island where it might be easier for me to find a job. (I do UX/UI research and design, front-end coding, etc)
Hope your move to O'ahu has been smooth. We are still very excited you will continue to update the calendar of events. Take care!!
