While Hawaii seems like paradise for most, it isn’t for everyone – I mean, not everyone is willing to give up materialistic luxuries for days spent lounging at the beach. Whether you currently live in Hawaii, grew up in the Aloha state and have since moved away, or are merely considering a move to America’s newest state, here are 12 signs you do – or should – live in paradise.

1) You are in love with the ocean, and the feeling of sand between your toes.

2) You think life should be laid-back, stress free, and slow. Not like everyone on the mainland.

6) You would rather live in a tropical climate where the temperature only fluctuates 20 degrees throughout the year – than have to deal with the horror that is snow. (Except the snow atop Mauna Kea, as pictured.)
