Gratitude & Acknowledgement:
Thank you to all the Palauans who took part in this video sharing their culture to simply helping me learn. This is what cultural immersion is all about and grateful to all of you.
Why Living Like A..?:
Living Like A Palauan was an idea I had prior to Palau had I immersed myself deeply and naturally into the culture. And because I did, that idea quickly took off with the video project underway Mid November until this week.
But Living Like A.. didnt begin in Palau, it actually began 5 years ago in the Kingdom Of Tonga????????, where I was so blessed to be able to stay in a village on the island group of Vava'u.
Little did I know, my curiosity of the ways Tongans live their lives allowed me to, in the short time that i stayed, LIVE LIKE A TONGAN.
Living Like A Tongan was my very first true culturally immersive experience in my travels and to this day is very special to me, as well as the thousands of Tongans that watch it. It opened the door to a whole new inner passion of mine and that was learning about world cultures. ????
Living Like a Tongan happened to be one of my biggest Youtube videos and has beautifully brought so many proud Tongans to my video and to my channel, thanking me for loving their culture and taking the time to show the Tongan way.
Living Like A Palaun is very much all of this with the same heart, love, and passion for culture. The only difference now, my camera gear is far better and my storytelling and post editing skills are through the roof.
Which means, the ability to extend the voices of Palau and represent a whole culture is far greater. ????????
TUKU FONUA
In the early 1800's the first king of a united Tonga, King Siaosi Tupou I, celebrated the giving of Tonga to God in the northern Tongan islands of Vava'u at a place forever known as Pouono. This film chronicles the event and its significance as described by several renowned scholars of ancient Tongan and Polynesian history. It is a story of great devotion and faith in the face of European colonisation in the Pacific. Presented by Dr Eric B. Shumway and produced by myself with Dr. Vernice Wineera, this program will open your eyes to the unique culture and customs of Tonga as they relate to this pivotal event of 200 years ago.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure we're not dreaming. This is the life we always dreamed of, living off the grid on a sailboat. It's all starts with a perfect sail through the Vava'u Islands in the Kingdom of Tonga. Then we drop the anchor and get invited to swim with giant humpback whales.
From here Mother Nature decides to shine down on us for a snorkel with our friends Nate and Jordan. Super clear water, beautiful starfish, colorful Spanish Dancer Nudibranch, blue lobsters, puffers and one sneaky octopus. It's magnificent!
The cherry on top is our local friends Kjell and Adriana have arranged a Tapas dinner at the best restaurant in Tonga: La Paella. The food is great, the atmosphere is even better and it's BYOB! Plus, once the plates are cleared the real fun begins. It's an experience we won't forget.
Living #OffTheGrid on a Sailboat for us is all about creating a more sustainable way of life. The more of the world we see, the more we want to preserve it. But, living off the grid doesn’t have to mean sacrificing modern comforts. We believe self-sustainability and comfort can coexist.
From RV to sailboat we’ve lived off the grid for ten years and have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water and managing waste. You can learn more over on our website:

Tonga's sunday life usually involves feast and eating. Most of the families cook and prepare food for this day because this is the time that all family members are present. They usually have lunch after they attend their church services.
