Best time to visit America Samoa/Samoa is during their flag day. There you will fully experience the unique Samoan culture and the people.

I came here with the intention of asking if I could use some of the clips you got of home for a project I was working on, (with credit and citation of course) but I ended up staying back to listen and watch your curiosity grow into your journey. I have never encountered anyone that wanted to go to American Samoa before, and honestly it made me feel a bit proud. It also gave me the understanding that while we are miles and miles away in the South Pacific, the world is not too big of a place that there's one invidual out there that knows of our existence and is genuinely appreciative of the life and things we take for granted. Thank you such an amazing reminder of what home is. So happy to have come across your channel. Subscribing to follow along your journey. Malo Anthony. Also You stayed for the fautasi race? Can't wait to see the video!

A lot of my b roll footage was gather from other local content creators here in American Samoa. So I suggest to peep the description and ask them for use of the footage you are seeking 😊
Love your content. Looking forward to your travel to my ancestral homeland.

So many unique pacific cultures 🥹🥰 thank you
Looking forward to the vlogs brother, glad you'll be in the Samoan archipelago. Although the language and culture is pretty much the same in both Samoa's, you'll notice the differences and influences of different entities in both nations I.e. American Samoa obviously with the influence of the US; and then those of us in the western part - with more of a NZ/Australian influence. It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on what you find similar amongst the island group, but also the differences.

Ah man then I’m on the right mindset in understanding the context of both having connections to two totally different “colonial empires”. I’m def excited to see and immerse in both first hand. Taking the time slowly to see the fine details! 🇦🇸🇼🇸😁 I appreciate the support my bro! 🫂
Excited for your journey through the Samoas. Alofa aku uso 🤙🏽

Love your videos! Love learning about culture and geography and the South Pacific is my favorite region. Question, do you ever plan to go to the islands of Tahiti? I’ve only been to one corner of The South Pacific, (Polynesia in particular) and it was Tahiti, beautiful islands and culture. Would love to see your review of it one day.

Ia orana! Thank you Tiffany for sharing! 🥹 Tahiti is not included on this trip mostly for budget, but partially because I have a feeling it’s best to do 🇵🇫 as it’s own self contained cultural trip. There are so many islands, so many unique island groups with their own unique dialects and cultures. The more I understand that the more I respect waiting for that time and understand what patience will serve me when that time comes 🥹
