Sandy beaches, cooler mountainside, tropical rain forest, semi-desert or coastal bluffs, the Big Island of Hawaii has 10 of the Earth’s 12 climate zones providing unlimited living environments and alternative lifestyles. In town activities or further out to remote, off-grid, this island offers the optimum to one seeking tropical island living.
Whatever calls you, , Hawaii’s raw beauty, incredible climate, Aloha spirit, cultural heritage, or ethnic diversity, the island experience and slower lifestyle is here now, and now may be the perfect time to make that move.
A quote from a much earlier visitor remains as profound today as when I first read it upon landing on these shores over 50 years ago. It would be difficult to express it better:
“No alien land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseeching haunt me sleeping and waking through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me but it abides, other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun, the pulsing of its surf-beat is in my ear; I can see its garlanded crags, its leaping cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore, its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud rack; I can feel the spirit of its woodland solitudes. I can hear the splash of its brooks; in my nostrils lives the breath of flowers that perished years ago” ………………..Mark Twain.
