Wow, that was a LONG Thanksgiving Weekend... with waaay too much food! We'll be right back!

Welcome To The Tropical Pacific!

We are living out our dream in the tropical Western Pacific .
And just what do we get out of it? We are assured a pace of life deeply connected to nature and community, which is in significant contrast to the demands of a Western, industrialized society. This choice means prioritizing close-knit family ties, local traditions [and some imported ones] and the rhythm of the ocean over a fast-paced, individualistic culture.

Living in the Western Pacific is a lifestyle choice, where the pace of life is slower and less rigid than in the West, centered on "island time" (some argue whether Chamorro Time or Filipino Time is slower). Community and family networks are the central pillars of daily life.

Here family extends beyond the immediate household to include aunts, uncles, cousins, and good friends who are often nearby. This strong network provides a robust support system where resources, food, childcare, and camaraderie are shared.

Ultimately this lifestyle is a choice, trading convenience and material goods for a life centered on human connection, tradition, and the natural rhythms of the islands... all surrounded by Aqua Blue.

Pacific Travels

Are you the laid-back island hopping type, or do you just like hanging out on white sandy secluded tropical beaches somewhere? Or maybe you seek the vibrant nightlife of bustling cities like Bangkok, Manila or Tokyo.

In Southeast Asia, the convenience of short-distance travel is defined by an extensive network of low-cost carriers, efficient budget transport options like buses and trains in more developed areas, and increasingly streamlined visa processes.

Wherever one chooses to hang their hat in the Western Pacific, it can make for world-class travel to any number of exotic places affordable and within easy reach.

From the pristine diving paradise of Palau to the natural wonders of Palawan. From beautiful beaches of Micronesia to the garden city of Singapore. Or maybe the green lush jungles of Bohol excites you. From Manila for example, there is almost no regional destination that can't be reached in under 4 hours. When you live in these parts, there is no place out of reach with such short travel times.

Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway or just want to explore, there is always another adventure on the horizon just waiting to happen... tomorrow!
