Aloha everyone!
My name is Kim and my husband Marcus and I just moved to HPP this fall. We fell in love with the islands and felt the irresistible call when we visited Kauai and Oahu in February of 2007. A matter of months later, we left our long time home of Portland, Oregon. This was a big leap of faith for us and we are still in amazement about how smoothly everything has worked out.
We are both fortunate enough to be working remotely for our Oregon employers at this time, which has made for a wonderfully soft landing. Marcus is a software engineer and I am a public health researcher. We have two cat-kids -- Boo Boo and Seven - who love it here as well
Right now we are looking for either a house to buy or a lot to build on and doing our research. I've been very grateful for the posters on the "building in puna" portion of this site and all of the insights they have shared.
Looking forward to meeting many of you in the future!
Best,
Kim
