Moving to Canada?

[Annie<3]

I wanna go to canadaaa
planning on it August :3

we should go together

Lol I'm thinking about going after my second year of college. Still don't know what to tell my parents though):

Why would anybody move from Hawaii to Canada?

I'd say to you - ifn you were my child - don't move to Canada but to travel and visit places you want to see.

I wanna get out. After living on a small island, there's nothing to do anymore. I just want a change of scenery. I know I'll be homesick but I know I'll manage.

No matter where you live you need something new after some time..move I would say. Pick out your choice and move.

Took the words right out of my mouth(:

Let me know when exactly!! We could have ever so much fun....if you dare!!

I would, but money is tight. Plus, I wouldn't really have a place to stay. If I move to Canada, I'm guaranteed a place to stay.

That right there shows you're not exactly ready to move. Do you have the answers to the following Q?

1)Have you ever been to Canada before?

2)If the "place" you're staying at falls through, where will you go? You'll be in another country with nobody to fall back on.

In my opinion I'd say move to another part of Hawaii on your own for a year, make sure you can handle it all, take a 1-2 week vacation to Canada and see if you could live there for X amount of years.

I've never been there before, but I'm moving there with my boyfriend who is a Canadian citizen. I think that answers both of your questions.

The whole point is that I don't want to move ANYWHERE ELSE in Hawaii. I'm sick of this place. And honestly, I know I'm not ready at the moment, which is why I'm moving in about a year. Lots of time to think, plan and save.

You can venture to California <3 but you know moving away from the family will be hard especially if they don't know about your relationship. I say just let them know its something you have to do and just do it. However, visiting is probs not the worst idea either.

That's precisely my point. You're moving into another country, far far away from "home" to live with someone that may not always be permanent. Do you have a backup plan in case the relationship falls through?

The idea of moving out in Hawaii isn't to stay there forever, it's to get used to the ways of being on your own and in case anything goes wrong you would have people to fall back on.

With all respect, Annie. I hope you know your BF really well. Good Luck to you, always. Ciao.

I would love to go to Cali(: And visiting I was thinking about, but I'm also thinking about money. I'm really close with my family. My parents want me to stay in Hawaii because they want me to be near them. I think just because everyone else's child does that, doesn't mean I should. I am the black sheep of my family o_o

- Yes. We've talked about it and if that was the case, we'd deal with each other until I can move out.

- I understand that, but you don't know my family(: once I venture out, I'm on my own for good. Even if something went wrong, they'll give me the whole "You wanted to be an adult. Deal with it yourself" bit. At least I know that's how it will be at first. Then eventually, when everything's been said and done, I know they'll be there. It's just hard to fall back on people who ask me for money and so on. I've considered having a room mate, but I don't trust any of my "friends"(: I have also been considering just visiting Canada as well and that option is still available.

With all respect, Annie. I hope you know your BF really well. Good Luck to you, always. Ciao.

Oh I do And thanks.

Well, do make sure that you have a backup plan in case even that goes wrong. The worst thing that can happen to you is being out on the streets in a new country with very few things to work with. It never hurts to be safe.

I would visit Canada first and make sure that you like the area, weather etc etc. And yeah, a room mate would be a perfectly good idea. It would give you the responsibilities of being on your own, but at the same time, it would be a lot cheaper and easier to manage.

Keep with those ideas and you should do fairly good.
