14 Ways To Know You’re From Hawaii

From food preferences, personality traits, and various opinions, there are certain things everyone from Hawaii can easily agree upon. It is these fourteen things that make it easy to tell when someone is from – or even simply lives in – the Aloha State.

1) You are obsessed with nature, and spend as much time outside as possible.

2) You automatically remove your shoes whenever you walk into someone’s home.

3) You refer to everyone as your aunty or uncle, even though they aren’t related to you.

4) You are extremely concerned with how people live through a mainland winter.

5) Your favorite fast food restaurant is Zippy’s.

6) You know that there is absolutely nothing better than a Hawaiian sunset.

7) You don’t understand how anyone could not love loco mocos, kalua pork, and poke.

8) The only suit you own is the kind you wear to the beach.

9) Rice is a staple in your diet, and it’s barely a meal without it.

10) You find that the fast pace life on the mainland is not for you.

11) You don’t give directions based on traditional compass directions… Drive mauka, then turn right at the first stop sign and park by the eleventh light post.

12) You understand that some of the best places are secret, and can’t be found on a map.

13) You don’t quite understand how throwing pineapple and ham on a pizza makes it Hawaiian.

14) You firmly believe that Hawaii is the single greatest place on earth.

These are only a few of the attributes that describe someone from Hawaii. Tell us, what are other undeniable traits of people who live in the Aloha State?
