Thinking about selling everything I own and moving to Hawaii

[Bwood]

i have been having the itch to move as well. just extremely bored on so many levels. sometimes you can change your attitude by changing your latittude.

but if i do move. its either near the ocean or New Mexico.

Why NM?

[pstall]

besides great and almost spiritual like terrain, NM isn't over run with development and if humanity freaked out, thats as good a place you will find to make it. lol

95% of new Mexico is a filthy dump

fug hawaii dude, spend a tiny bit extra on tickets and go to southeast asia and spend five bucks a night on hostels hanging out with backpackers from all over the world. you'll have the time of your life and spend absurdly little money doing it.

fwiw i went through something similar (i dont know what your exact circumstances are) and ended up selling all my poo and moving to australia because of a bunch of poo going on in my life externally and internally and it was the best decision i ever made. hawaii, southeast asia, whereever you go, just go. you can always move back home later, but this may be the only time you ever get to do something like this. fuging do it

Lot's of reasons. One of the cool things is being able to make vacation activities into hobbies. Some of my friends got into kite boarding for example. Nice being able to drive or walk 5 minutes to do it. Or diving for your own lobster. And you know the best beach spots that the tourists don't etc.

Personally I would probably go to the islands down South. Would not go to HI. Too expensive.

I had the chance to move to St. Thomas, and didn't a long time ago...something that I wish I had done.

Jobs are the issue, if you are a great bartender, or server you should be able to get something, otherwise they want you to live there before they hire you, and that is a disaster waiting to happen.

where in Australia are you? My girlfriend is probably going to vet school in Sydney or Melbourne in a couple years and I was planning on going with her. Was it difficult at all or is there not much of a transition period there?

If you decide to do it I have assloads of information ranging from flights to itineraries to places to stay to contacts to travel guidebooks to languages and whatever else... if you're considering this for real, feel free to inbox me or we'll discuss it on here and I can load you up with all the comprehensive information you'll ever need (including how to get you some really cheap flights down there)

Thanks dude I appreciate it. I gotta do some major thinking first,

What's funny is I've been thinking if starting to bartender because I have experience as a barista and I was going to ask you about that ha.

it's a difficult industry to get into because most of the jobs are really good and there's more bartenders that need jobs than jobs for bartenders. i recommend bartending school if you can spare the cash. it also happens to be the type of profession you can get jobs on the spot overseas in some of the backpacker towns... incredibly useful skill if you're traveling.

I spent a few days in St Thomas, don't think I would want to live there. Charlotte Amalie had a relatively high crime rate as I recall. St Johns seemed like a much better to live.
