    When a family welcomes you into their home and shares the day to day experiences is a cultural education like no other and what a life memory. If more people globally would share the same life experiences we would have a lot less strife in the world. Aloha and all the best!

    Couldn't agree with you more my friend! Truly no education than a first hand one like such :)

    I LOVE THIS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SHOUTOUT AND BEING ABLE TO RESPOND🙏 Thank you so much for being considerate of others at home assuring you aren't there to use anybody, but simply to experience the culture. You, brother, have a very good heart, and every positivity/love you give out certainly comes with its blessings. Your path will always be cleared, whatever you seek in life will align with your humble spirit and bring forth before you. I truly believe it because I live and breathe it! I got emotional when your host brother asked you what you would like and your response was "I would like to live like you". Seriously! How many tourists do you know out there does what you do? Your character shows so much good I hope many live and aspire to walk in your footstep! Therefore, One day, I will make it my life's mission that before I part this Earth, I meet you and thank you in person for all that you do to show our tiny island. We may not have much, but we have infinite love to share, and you did such a wonderful thing being able to emphasize that. Bless you and your family, Bless your host family, and in due time, shall we meet in the good graces of God. Ofa lahi atu Brother

    Aloha Katheryn! It was a pleasure expanding my channel while also answering a big question for so many. It also showed more detail of my drive for why I travel. Thank you so much for the incredible heart felt comment and the kind words, aloha, and support for my and my channel. You're not wrong about the fact that Tonga is small but big in heart with infinite love. Like I said in my video, the world can take alot from the model of Tongan culture and aspect of community. And yes one day yes we might just meet :) Mahalo for taking the time to watch my video an leave your beautiful feedback :D

    Awesome series of videos, documenting tour travels and experiences. For now, my family lives vicariously thru your experiences in Vava’u as my wife’s Tongan genealogy connects her not only to Tonga but especially the beautiful islands of Vava’u and her family’s village of Ha’alaufuli. Your learning was ours as well. If you ever stop in Hawaii again, look me up and you can cook imu (umu) and drink awa (kava) with us Also, “lol” or “Lol” is equivalent to “laugh out loud”. Pronounced as “ell-oh-ell” instead “low-l”. 😂 Didn’t see anyone point it out for you, so thought I’d help
