With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Sometimes, when we spend too much time without leaving Hawaii, we get island fever – either the islands feel too small, or we experience sun guilt for wanting to stay inside on a Sunday. These are the times where we need to cast aside our negative feelings and think about the many positive benefits of living in Hawaii, the things we should never take for granted.
1. Hawaii residents are not only happier, but less stressed out, than our American friends on the mainland.
9. From active volcanoes and rainforests to sea cliffs and pristine beaches, you will never run out of places to explore on Hawaii’s six inhabitable islands.
10. With a unique history and incredible diversity, Hawaii is truly a cultural melting pot – and it shows in nearly every aspect of life in the islands.
11. And that cultural diversity makes for some incredible culinary options, too. Where else will you find loco moco, poke, malasadas, shave ice and spam musubi?
There are undoubtedly at least one hundred more benefits to Hawaii life we haven’t included on this list, so please, share your favorite benefits of living in Hawaii on our Only In Hawaii Facebook page.
