It's Feels Like AMERICA!!! | Majuro, Marshall Islands ????????
After landing in Majuro, I realized something familiar. That it felt like I was back in the USA, only still many miles away. Why does Majuro have such a strong American influence?

Flying to the MARSHALL ISLANDS (RMI) | Travel Vlog
WE GOT TO FLY TO THE MARSHALL ISLANDS FOR A DAY OR TWO!
Honestly, if you don't use United points for this flight, you will have to pay quite a pretty penny. But if you're close enough in the area and have a lot saved up - it's quite possibly the best price/points used flight we've ever taken.

About Us
We met in college and started a five year journey to graduate, get jobs, pay off student loans and save money to travel. After getting married we bought a one way ticket to Greece in July of 2021 and have been traveling around the Globe since. Living abroad definitely brings some unique experiences.
These laidback Youtube videos will be our way of keeping in touch with family and friends as we explore different countries, try new and strange foods (and of course pizza), and see how many times we can avoid airplane fares. These homevideos will be the only souvenir we end up with at the end (only because nothing else will fit in our bags).
Thanks for watching!

Marshall Islands - Majuro to Living on Ailinglaplap Atoll 2010
From 2010 to 2011 I lived and worked on the atoll of Ailinglaplap in the Marshall Islands teaching English to grades Kindergarten through 8th grade for an organization called World Teach. During this time I lived with a host family in a town called Jabwon which is in the middle of the island called Bigatyelang in the atoll of Ailinglaplap. The time I spent living in Ailinglaplap was challenging at times but was also one of the most unique, amazing and memorable experiences of my life. During that year I lived in small cinderblock house with limited electricity, no internet or cell service, no running water and very limited contact with the outside world other than a small handheld radio and letters. I did have one lightbulb in my room that was attached to a solar panel that worked for the first half of the year but that went out mid way through and I never figured out how to fix it. On the entire island there is very little in terms of infrastructure, there's one main dirt road that stretches the length of the island and no electrical grid, running water, sewage system. If I remember correctly the host family that I lived with were one of the few that had solar power electricity
Living on a small remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is very similar to living in a small rural town that you can't leave. Everyone on the island knows each other and most if not all are related or probably distant family members. Since the island is a relatively small area you're around people all the time, many times just hanging out and chatting, going on walks, swimming or fishing. Most of the people in this video are people I lived with, were students of mine in the small township of Jabwon or are from a neighboring town. During my time there everyone I met was extremely welcoming and friendly especially my host family who went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and taught me a tremendous amount about the culture.
When I was there, the only way to visit Ailinglaplap was either by a small island hopping plane that leaves every week or so from the capitol of Majuro or by cargo ships that pass by every month or so. No transportation is reliable so it's very difficult to say for sure when something will arrive or pick you up for that matter. For instance when I was living on the island, there was only one airplane that made the route from island to island. If there was any sort of mechanical or weather issue with the plane you'd be out of luck and perhaps stranded for an undetermined amount of time.
My daily schedule was typically teaching M-F and prepping or grading papers outside of that. When I wasn't teaching I would hang out and talk with people, read books, swim, go on walks or spearfish. The host family I lived with were one of the few families who had a small TV and DVD player so we would often watch a select few movies that made it to our location. Highschool Musical was very popular at the time especially with the kids but generally we would watch whatever ripped DVD made it's way to the island.
The Marshall Islands are probably most known in history for being a major battle ground during World War II and for being a nuclear testing ground for the United States at Bikini Atoll. On Ailinglaplap there was not a much fighting that I'm aware of although on the western side of the island there was an old Japanese supply barge that was sunk and you could still see it resting deep in the water when snorkeling. I remember one time some students of mine showing me a Japanese shrine deep in a forested section of the island that was overgrown with vegetation that had a small statue attached to it and with some Japanese inscription. I couldn't get any info as to the story behind that but it may have been a grave to some solders who were once stationed there.
When my parents visited me in March 2010 my dad took this footage with a newly purchased Flip UltraHD Video Camera. At the time, I remember thinking how amazing the quality of the video was for this little device almost the size of a cellphone. It now looks dated because it was taken over a decade ago but I decided to upload this footage because I recently rediscovered it and think it's interesting to look at what life was like there almost 14 years later from writing this. My guess is that not much has changed but it's hard to say since it's very difficult to even find recent photos of the area.
Unfortunately these islands are extremely threatened by climate change and rising sea levels so only time will tell how they will fair. During one specific time, possibly because of a storm in the ocean or because how high the tide was, the water reached a level that I heard was the highest it had ever been. This is alarming news especially when you're standing on a small strip of land with zero high ground, everything being sea level.
I will forever look back with happiness to the time in my life that I spent in the Marshall Islands on Ailinglaplap.

IAKWE (HELLO) FROM THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ????????Life is wonderful out here in country #157!
It was already expected that the Marshall Islands would be absolutely stunning (and it certainly is)... but it was unexpected how AMERICAN it feels here!
- They use U.S. dollars.
- They speak (American) English.
- They play basketball.
- They drink Bud Light.
- They use miles and Fahrenheit and feet.
I haven't been home in 6+ months and it is so amazing (and refreshing) to experience this home feeling in the middle of the Pacific Ocean - the Marshall Islands!
WHY are the Marshall islands so Americanized? Find out in today's video!
Just curious -- how many of my American friends had no idea about this? We all know of Hawaii and Guam, but did you honestly know about the Marshall Islands? Comment your thoughts below!

Flying to Majuro, Marshall Islands
Nov.29, 2018
The MARSHALL ISLANDS + snack shopping + us = A Travel Vlog...?
This video will NOT do justice to the Republic of the Marshall Islands beauty, culture or people. There are plenty of videos on the internet (not enough IMO) that do take a deep look into the complexities that are the Marshall Islands. This video is not one of them.
This video is of two tired people who go get snacks in a grocery store for meals because their room costs more than their budget and then they walk around. That is all. But boy did we enjoy every minute of it.
If you aren’t using United points (which you really should cost wise) and aren’t on a tighter budget - there are SO many things you can do in the Marshall Islands! You can rent cars to explore Majuro more, go on boat tours, go to a nearby atoll with an accommodation there, or you could even go to Enko island and have an overnight stay/day trip! And if you’re going right home after this and don’t live out of a backpack - you could even buy some of the most beautiful hand-made decorations.
Even though it was brief, thank you for having us!

USAG Kwajalein Atoll - A Place Like No Other || Aerial Highlights
USAG-KA is located in the Marshall Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. While being key for US national security, its remoteness and location allow for many unique times in your not-so-typical 9-5pm job. Please enjoy some of the memories that I have collected over the past couple years while living on this amazing two-mile-long piece of coral.
All drone shots of Kwaj were taken before the Army drone ban (pre-summer 2017).

Live Segment on Climate Change Impacts in the Marshall Islands during Pattrn on The Weather Channel

American ADVENTURES living on the Marshall Islands!

Bikini Atoll, The Marshall Islands
Lost somewhere in the ocean, this island looks like a paradise, doesn’t it? But Bikini Atoll was actually home to numerous nuclear testing programs that turned the picturesque island of Bikini into a radioactive wasteland. The inhabitants were forced to abandon their homes, and even today this remains hazardous for living organisms: the abnormally high level of radiation recorded here can cause cancer.
Between 1946 and 1958, 23 nuclear devices were detonated by the United States at seven test sites located on the reef, inside the atoll, in the air, or underwater.
In 1996, the Bikini Council authorized diving operations as a means to generate income for Bikini islanders currently and upon their eventual return. The tours, limited to fewer than a dozen experienced divers a week, cost more than US$5000 and include detailed histories of the nuclear tests.

Grocery Shopping on Remote Pacific Island of Pukapuka - 4K VLOG 213
The SV Kwai has been sold to the Marshall Islands and no longer services the Kiribati / Cook Island route in the Pacific. This is one of the last documentations of this beautiful operation, of which I was very fortunate and grateful to have had the opportunity to experience and document.
The idyllic life on Pukapuka atoll, where the land and sea provides everything the people need. Supplies from the modern world are brought in by cargo ship, which arrives every few months. This documentation shows the extravagant process of boating supplies to shore and establishing the Kwai store where locals buy everything they need until the next shipment. This is a rare look into the life and economy of one of the most isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to the sailing cargo ship Kwai and Brad Ives for this beautiful operation!
