I was planning on moving to Hawaii in a couple of months and all I can find is tourist information. I want to move to Kauai Island but I want to live in a smaller town with local people but I cant find any kind of info on a house or work or anything. I dont know if this is the right place to be asking this question but if someone can help that would be great. Thanks
