Hi there! I'm a 30 years old female, married, originally from Germany and moved to Honolulu 5 months ago. It's not easy to make new friends when you are not working in a big company or join a club or something like that. My husband and I already met some other german people, but we are not here to build up a german community in Hawaii ;-)
We would love to hang out with friendly people from all over the world and share experiences about our new life on the beautiful island of Oahu! We love music, sports, beach-life, hiking and all the fun things you can do here!
One of the problems of making friends in Honolulu is it is too crowded. When folks get all crowded together they don't "see" each other even though they are right there. It's much more difficult to start up a conversation and get to know folks. Try going to areas where there are things you are interested in but not so crowded that folks have to pretend other folks aren't there.
How about hula or ukulele lessons? Then you'd meet other people. There are also some folks who gather in some of the different parks to play lawn bowling or some such, you could join their groups.
I agree about the difficulty making friends in Honolulu. I relocated to Honolulu from the East Coast about 8 months ago. I am a young professional female in my 30s and I work at a major medical center but still find it hard to make friends.
Hi,
it is quite a long time since the last post. But my situation is similar. I am an working female in my early 30s, come from Germany and live since one month in honolulu. I am looking for nice people with whom I can spend some hours. Maybe your post did work and a small group came together or you can give me some advices. Anyway, it would be nice to hear from you.
I am an aupair who is 21 years old. Been in Hawaii(oahu) for 3 weeks now. Looking for female friends. Im really lonely and havent seen much. Please get back to me. I am from South Africa.
My uncle says that the best way to meet people and make new friends in Hawaii is to volunteer to do some charity work that you care about in your community. Makes sense to me!
There are lots of sports groups out here. I see groups playing ultimate frisbee and the like at ala moana park all the time. Try craigslist to see if any small groups like that are looking for someone to fill their team. Also, try taking classes in stuff you're interested in. If you like music, go to some of the local concerts. The ones at the aloha tower tend to be large enough that there is a good amount of people there but small enough that you can walk a bit away from the stage and have a conversation with people.
