We have lived on the island of Hawaii for the last 12 years in a small off the grid house that we built. Before coming to Hawaiiwe combined work and travel. We spent time in the Peace Corps in Papua New Guinea, cruising on our sailboat in the Caribbean, and working in the Virgin Islands and the Florida Keys. Now that we are finished building, it is time to spend more time traveling again.
We bring with us the maintenance experience we acquired building three houses in Hawai. One of those we operated as a vacation rental and have since sold two of them. Also our experience living on and maintaining a steel sailboat taught us many new skills and responsibility for ourselves and our property.
