What is “Island Fever” and do I really need to worry about it?
Some people move to Hawaii and just don’t find what they expect and have a hard time enjoying themselves. Maybe they expect a Miami Beach atmosphere but move to a rural East Hawaii location or maybe they just didnt’ think about how it would be to live thousands of miles away from their friends and family. So they feel the pull to move back “home,” wherever that may be. Some call this “Island Fever”. Living in a small state with small towns, a rural atmosphere and a tropical climate is not for everyone. We recommend that you make a point to visit the Islands a few times and explore the different areas to see which location you want to call home.
