Hi There!
My name is Daisy and I´m from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I was planning to going to Hawai to do some work and travel ( there are some agencies ghere that help with the Visa and finding work) but i wanted to know some more please

1)City in general, how is the day to day there?

2) How hard is to find a job there? ( I dont care if it waiting tables or anything,heheh but something stable and that I can arrange beforehand - if I solve this for myself I save 1000 bucks)

3)Housing. Do you know where I can find a somewhere ( fb group, page , whatever) to share an apartment? I need to save as much money as possible hehe, I promisse I get along with everyone and I´m always in a good mood!

4) Daily Money. Um, how much money ( on averge) do I need everyday? I know It depends on the lifestly, but roughly

5) Volunteering! I love loving and helping people. Do you know any good volunteering organazatios where I could help?

Thank you beforehand

Aloha & soulhug

Is this work visa business giving you a money back guarantee? Because you can't work legally without the proper type of visa and the work visa is hard to come by. You have to have a job skill that is not available from the local population and you have to have an employer do the paperwork and sponsor you. You can not work on a tourist visa.

I suggest that you go into the USA embassy and ask them for information about getting a visa to work in the USA. Do that before you pay any money for someone else to find you a job in Hawaii.

Three months lodging would probably be a vacation rental. Or maybe you could find a roommate situation, although even roommates want someone who will stay longer.

Try looking on airbnb and maybe you can find a room in someone's house.

It is possible to work on a student visa, if you are enrolled in a college and the type of work and hours of work are severely limited for the student visa.
