I am 30-years-old and putting the final touches on my big move over to Pahoa. I currently live in Portland, Oregon and am craving a more relaxed lifestyle complete with open minded, kind people. I like to think i'm used to rain being in the Great Pacific Northwest, but I guess nobody knows for sure until you get in it. I have the fortunate opportunity to work from home on my computer. That means I will be looking for small, one/two-bedroom homes in the Pahoa area. I am working with a realtor right now and I feel like I have some good possibilities in my price range. After securing my little humble abode, I am very much looking forward to meeting the good people of Puna. While I do like some amenities (DSL, water, etc.), I am really in search of nature and people who love and respect it. I want to explore all the Big Island has to offer and live a quiet existence. I have a motorcycle that I hope I will be able to ride with the rain. I also have a beautiful Dalmation named Small Cow. While I am still a year away from physically being there, I feel like I am already there mentally as I work toward tying up all my loose ends. I look forward to chatting with all of you and "sucking" all the information and feelings you have about your incredible area. It truly is a dream and I will be living it soon.
