Tips on How to Fit In With Locals in Hawaii

Описание: I’ve gotten a lot of comments and questions from people asking about how to not offend locals in Hawaii. However, what I really think they are asking is how they can fit in in Hawaii - how can they meet people and start to build that community of friends in Hawaii.

And having grown up in Hawaii, moved away, and then moved back to Hawaii, I think I can provide some perspective on how to fit in when you move to Hawaii. So that’s what I’d like to do. Three pieces of advice for fitting in when you come to Hawaii.

But first, let me just acknowledge that making friends in Hawaii can be tough for some people, especially if you have no real connection to Hawaii. Hawaii is a transient place, where people come and go all the time. So sometimes it’s hard to really invest in relationships. On the other hand, Hawaii is a generally friendly place with lots of diversity in its population. You are bound to find people that you have things in common with. You should remember that you’re a wonderful person who is interesting and unique. You’ll find friends.
