Advantages

The tropical weather. All year round, the weather stays comfortably warm as the temperature ranges from 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit. But unlike other tropical countries, the Hawaii’s temperature and humidity are a bit less extreme due to occasional rains and frequent trade winds. It’s bliss for people who adore dresses, skirts, shorts and shirts and don’t want to put anything, like cardigan over them.

The food. Every time people travel to other countries, they often worry about what kind of delicacy a certain place offers. Whether they can eat without getting their stomach upset and end up getting sick the whole trip. However, in the Hawaiian Islands, food is not a problem. It has over 4,000 restaurants ranging from Asian, European, to American and local cuisines that a lot of people would have a lot to choose from. Tourists and travellers will not only have a wide variety of choice but will also enjoy the food, as they taste heavenly.

For the foreigners who work there, they have a minimum of 2 jobs in order to sustain their life in Hawaii as the rent or lease for their accommodations and groceries take up most of their income. With these 2 jobs, they are still finding it difficult to save.

In addition to this, since the state is pretty much isolated, it takes a lot of time to ship or send materials/products to and from the place. If patience is not quite your virtue, then this is not the place for you.

The crowd. Because Hawaii is extremely popular to people from all over the globe, people tend to crowd in the Island especially on occasions where holiday season is at peak! For instance, during the summer, it is exceptionally jam-packed that causes several issues like traffic jams and overpopulation of tourists. People who may want peace and quiet may find it difficult to look for such place at this point of time.

The urbanization. For people who prefer the natural beauty of the state, you might get disappointed as some parts of the islands are being converted to different colossal buildings such as hotels and other man-made creations. However this may be the case, the job opportunities are still limited to fishing, farming and tourism.
