    Want to find a tropical place to live with warm breezes, sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and a laid back lifestyle? Florida and Hawaii are arguably the two most sought after tropical places to live. Being raised in Florida and now living in Hawaii I have lived the best of both worlds. Although similar upon first glance, Florida and Hawaii are also very different. How would you choose where to live? It all depends on what you are looking for in terms of the weather, natural disasters, geography, entertainment, and cost of living.

    In Hawaii, however, you become a part of a brand new experience that you have probably never experienced before. Beaches there are not lined from end to end with restaurants and rental shops; instead, they are lined with palm trees and all of their untouched, natural wonders that have been there since the islands formed. In Hawaii, you get away from the “real” world and get a chance to experience the rich island culture that you might never have known about. The hustle and bustle of the inner city life and the monotonous nine to five job of the suburban life are not seen in Hawaii. It is very relaxed, and every day seems like it is a new adventure waiting for you to discover it. The food in Hawaii is also a departure from something that you could get any other day. There are…

    Historic Kailua-Kona, Hawaii is a great place to visit if you want pristine beaches and very fun ocean activities. It's much less crowded than Maui or Honolulu, but there are still plenty of hotels, resorts and vacation properties for you to choose from. You can easily rent an oceanfront condo, and you'll feel like Hawaiian royalty. Speaking of Hawaiian royalty, why not check out Hulihe'e Palace state monument? It's the former home of King Kalākaua and Queen Kapiʻolani. Kailua Bay is filled with amazing shopping. Stop by the Pacific Fine Art Gallery, or buy some gifts at the Kona Inn Shopping…

    I love Hawaii because it’s a culture enriches state. I am glad that the state of Hawaii brought back the Hawaiian practices. As a student who went to school in Hawaii, I know how good it is to have Hawaiian education programs. The state of Hawaii Constitution requires that the public school system has Hawaiian education programs. The Hawaiian programs in the public school system help keep the Hawaiian practice alive. Here is a link to the Hawaii educational system: http://www.hawaiipublicschools.org/TeachingAndLearning/StudentLearning/HawaiianEducation/Pages/Hawaiian-studies-program-interview.aspx.…

    Born in Honolulu ,Hawaii on the island of Oahu, I lived there for two and a half years. At almost three years old I moved to a small town in the San Joaquin Valley; Hanford, California. I've grown up in a nice home in a well located area in Hanford. But growing up in Hanford I know only what I have seen here and learned about from inside the community. I didn't know much about Hawaii besides being born there and that my grandparents live there. But years later in the summer of 2014, I took a trip to back to the islands of Hawaii.…

    Hawaii has the world’s most active volcano, the crater of Kilauea on Mauna Loa. Sandy beaches, towering volcanoes, and lush valleys lure thousands of tourists each year to this tropical paradise. Hawaii is the most ethnically and racially diverse state of any state in the union, a mix that includes Caucasians, Americans of Japanese descent, and Polynesians, among others. Native Hawaiians have held on to many of their customs and traditions despite the influx of non-natives over the years. Hawaii is the only state that has an official native language.…

    People are led to believe that Hawaii is paradise. Living is easy, weather is nice all year around, and the locals are friendly. This may be true but yet many still choose to move away from the islands to start a new life in the mainland. Some may say this is odd, but that is before they understand the reasoning behind it. It is difficult to support a family financially well in Hawaii, traffic is one of the worst in the country, and the crime for drugs is huge.…

    Another reason I want to live in Hawaii is because everything is much calmer. Living in Hawaii consists of a “laid-back lifestyle” (Lovic). Life in Hawaii is peaceful. Islands function slower than any other place to live because they are “far away from many distractions” (“Pros and Cons”). Being far from distractions is calming because the “busy” lifestyle in Chicago is completely the opposite of the “laid back lifestyle” in…

    The Future of Ecotourism

    I chose Hawaii because it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world. Hawaii brings huge amounts of people to islands because of its amazing beaches, wildlife, and beautiful forests. All of the people that come to Hawaii are seeing the amazing sites but the endangered plants and wildlife are suffering because of it. In the past 40 years tourism to the area as jumped dramatically which is good for the people on the islands because with it brings jobs and money. The amount of people on the islands on a daily basis has also jumped which has caused issues for the land with all the resources that must be used to support all those people. People of the islands are seeing how this is affecting their homeland and are trying to find ways to find the land but still bring tourism in to the islands. Many places are trying to offer more eco-friendly vacations but still worth the money to go to Hawaii, this is being referred to as ecotourism. (Wikipedia, 2009)…
