In previous episodes on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, I was homeless in Honolulu, on the streets, and had some trouble. This time, I took a bus to the northernmost part of the island. First, I slept outside on the beach, then snuggled into my sleeping bag on the sand. The next day, I went to the cheapest accommodation on the island, $35 per night. Backpackers Hostel rents wooden houses with kitchens and bathrooms, sleeping up to six people, for $35 per day. Near this beachfront hostel, there's a supermarket and food trucks for shopping. I go surfing with friends I met there and make new memories. I present to you Hawaii's best surf spot.
The majority of houses in Hawaii have gardens, fences, signs on the doors that say "KAPU" (No Entry), "Keep Out," etc., and houses with dogs, fruit trees, and flowers. The vehicles most needed here are 4x4s. Because the terrain is rugged, standard vehicles can't access certain areas, like the mountainous region where the volcano is located.
Hawaii's most adorable visitors are the terrapins. You'll often see these giant tortoises in videos. They were here before humans and always laid their eggs on these beaches. Today, this island is their home. The giant Hawaiian tortoises are one of the oldest inhabitants of the Pacific Ocean.
This is my first time in Hawaii. I don't know how long I'll stay. I'm volunteering on a farm. I found this job on the website Workaway. Where I live, I spend time with people from all over the world. We all go camping, having fun, hiking, and swimming together. We're exploring the beauty of Hawaii with young, mostly European backpackers.
If you don't want to travel the world like a tourist, if hotel rooms aren't your thing, if your budget is limited, and if you want to experience real local life and experience a culture with all its sweets and bittersweetness, it's possible to travel the world through volunteer work.
The ranch I stayed at provided me with a family-sized tent. It comes with a desk, chair, lamp, outlet, permanent power (solar power), a bed, pillows, and a sleeping bag. There are two dogs on the ranch. I bathe and care for them. In addition, I do painting, basic construction, and gardening. Most of the ranch guests are vegan. This is a place where meat, alcohol, tobacco, and even e-cigarettes are prohibited. This is because the ranch owners, the husband and wife, are deeply influenced by Indian teachings and lifestyles, and they believe the land they occupy is sacred and carries a special energy. The couple lives a vegetarian, not vegan, lifestyle.
Two elements are very prominent in Hawaiian indigenous culture. The first is respect for privacy, and the other is spiritual belief. Both Hawaiians and immigrants of American or Japanese descent living here believe that the island has a positive energy and that the likelihood of negative events is low.
Hawaii has multiple islands. It's a group of islands, located right next to the timeline, and is one of the 52 states of the United States. My island is the southernmost, the Big Island. Its largest cities are Hilo, Kona, and Captain Cook. There's an active volcano on the island. We live on rocks formed by lava flowing from the volcano. All of nature has evolved to this day when soil filled the gaps between these rocks and plants formed. Because Hawaii is not on the mainland, all goods arrive by ship, and the high cost of transportation contributes to the high cost of living. Almost everything is cheaper on the mainland.
The Hawaiian Islands host wild livestock such as chickens, goats, and pigs. Hunting is permitted, and fishing is also permitted. There are no snakes or other dangerous animals on Hawaii. In addition to a rainy tropical climate, the island also has arid, semiarid, and desert climates. Different geographical features and climates are evident in different parts of the island. While one side of the island experiences constant rainfall, others are dependent on water.
I've embarked on a vibrant adventure in Hawaii. I'd appreciate it if you'd subscribe to follow along. I'm looking forward to your feedback on my life, work, environment, and friends in Hawaii. I'll continue to share information about how to get here, where to stay, how to find work, what conditions are required, what budget is needed, the challenges, and the requirements in each video. We'll be talking more about Hawaii. Enjoy! Aloha!
