People come and go from Hawaii all the time…Either you stay for the rest of your life or you leave forever…Now…for a long time it has been the Yin and the Yang for a long time now…but we are starting to see more and more what we call the “BOOMERANGING EFFECT”. Yes…Those who come to Hawaii…leave Hawaii and once again return…sometimes several times before it for good…but in the end they always return and when they return for the final time…it’s for the rest for their life.
BOOMERANGING HAWAII LIFE is one of the hardest things to do…it takes great CONVICTIONS and a DEEP SEEDED PASSION to be a BOOMERANGER in Hawaii…but Wayde has done it, several others we know have done it and out Guest today has done it…
Today we welcome to our show Brit Young, Britt first moved to Hawaii in 1997, urged by her (then) boyfriend, now husband, Rob, to come live here in paradise. After a year trying to break into the news business, unsuccessfully, she and Rob moved to Idaho. After two years there, they were asked to come back to Hawaii and work at KGMB. There, Britt worked as a news reporter and meteorologist for about 5 years. After the birth of her first child, she decided to leave the business and go to graduate school to pursue a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. She and Rob moved to the mainland for 8 years to pursue his career in real-estate development, and Britt worked as a therapist. However, the opportunity arose for them to return to Hawaii this past April–and they grabbed it! Since they’ve been back, Britt has been a producer at PBS and a blog-writer for Hawaii Aloha Travel and plans to keep on writing–even after she establishes her own therapy practice. She shares her very interesting story about how her and her family moved here 3 times!! This time it’s defiantly for good! If you’re thinking about moving to Hawaii this podcast is a MUST LISTEN!! Britt shares the ups and downs of settling down in Hawaii and how having the support of her husband made all the difference.
