Here Are 8 Things You Better Have If You Want To Survive In Hawaii

Whether you are considering a move to the Aloha State, or simply a vacation, life is a little different in Hawaii, and you will want to be prepared with the following things.

1) A good pair of slippahs – or five.

All anyone wears in Hawaii are what we like to call slippahs. Everyone else knows them as flip-flops.

2) A sense of adventure.

Whether you would rather be surfing the waves or hiking up a mountain, Hawaii is full of adventures, and you will never enjoy living in paradise if you aren’t up for a little adrenaline.

3) A rocking driving playlist, or Bluetooth.

Honolulu, Hawaii has the second worst traffic in the United States – right behind Los Angeles. This means that you must have either a killer music playlist, or Bluetooth to talk on the phone through your car stereo.

4) A good dose of patience.

The Aloha spirit is alive and well in Hawaii, and here, life moves a lot slower than on the mainland. Anyone who is considering moving to the islands should find a genuine helping of patience.

5) Sunscreen.

And a lot of it. When you are surrounded by stunning beaches, you will be outside a lot – and those bright rays can damage your skin if you aren’t careful.

6) A Camera.

It doesn’t matter if the only camera you have is your iPhone. You will want to capture all of those spectacular views and post them for all your friends across social media – especially when it’s snowing on the mainland.

7) A Hawaii State drivers license.

If you’re planning a move to the Aloha State, get a driver’s license right away. Not only is it recommended, but you will have access to a ton of Kama’aina (local) discounts.

8) A casual sense of style.

When you live in Hawaii, you don’t necessarily see people dress up. You’ll be just fine with a sundress or nice shorts, and a pair of fancy slippahs.
