Aloha!
I'm Teresa (or T or tweez). Currently live in Austin, TX but plan to move to the east side (pref. Puna district). Unfortunately the plan is a long one (about 5 years out) but we hope to visit as much as possible between now and then. Our next trip is already booked for February (Kapoho) and I can't wait! We had the opportunity to visit BI last October and again this past February and it was absolutely love at first visit. In all our travels I have never been somewhere where I felt so much at home and could actually see myself living. A little about us – we are mid/late-30s with no kids so no worries about schools. I have already learned so much from the web forums, I really appreciate everyone's helpfulness and candor. A lot of what I have learned has contributed to our timeline. The job market is so significantly different that we want to make sure we make all necessary preparations to be able to contribute well to both the community and economy and, while we both work predominantly from home, I travel enough that a straight move is not feasible. For some reason, the powers that be don’t want to double/triple my travel budget! I am excited to continue to learn and explore so I will use the search function religiously. If I am redundant in any questions I may ask, I apologize in advance!
Mahalo,
tweez
