Hi all

[Schpazzrn]

Traveling to hawaii in a few weeks. Not nervous but housing has become an issue. My agency isn't given much help. I've tried the avenues from past questions. Any other ideas. I'll be in oahu. Any advise is much appreciated as I come across many scam from the internet and craigslist.

I just got scammed on Craigslist so be careful. I've used Craigslist in the past without a problem, but it's a first time for everything.

Some travelers at my current assignment told me about travelershaven. I have been in contact with them for my next assignment. They will bill you weekly and there are no upfront costs. They will find you short term leases, fully furnished and will even pay for a deposit. They have an entire department devoted to traveling nurses. Also, the leases are not put in your name, it's put into the company's name.

The other suggestion is furnishedfinder. I have not spoken with them directly, but one traveler swears by them and only uses them for housing. She says it's the same thing, no upfront costs and they will provide furnished housing. If you have found something on Craigslist or Airbnb, they will also investigate it and provide payment directly to the landlord/owner.

Hopefully, one of these choices works out for you. Good luck!

I have no advice for you on this but I wish you luck. My wife and I want to travel to Hawaii so badly. We will probably do it after our next contract so I'd love to hear how your experience there goes.
