6 Months Until Pacific Islands 2024 ? |
But please, read on..
At this point, absolutely nothing at all is going to stop me from going on this seemingly impossible and ambitious trip across Oceania.
For me, I call it the greatest act of rebellion against not only my own doubts, but also to the concept of “not having enough money”. A capitalistic mindset that also aligns with the reality that affects pacific island communities themselves.
I am going on this trip regardless of not having the funds for it. If I don’t get that grant or enough donations to help, I’m still going. I may go broke and run out of money, and that still will not stop me. I will take ferries to dingys to cross waterways and horizons of Ocean so I can finally meet these Islanders, far and wide. So I can be present, to learn from them, to love them, and to share their stories like I’ve dreamed of 7 years ago when this trip was merely an idea.
I will feel lost along this journey, but a greater sense of belonging. I will meet strangers that will become family!
And yet, despite the “obstacles”, there is just a feeling that I can’t put into words, that is telling me that I am ready!
I cannot single-handedly unite in entire people of Oceania. But I know i have the tools, respect for protocol, passion, and genuine love for pacific people enough to show through my lens, just how much Islanders all have in common.
Ocean is a uniter, not a divider.
Similar language, way of life, and traditions.
To similar realities of being priced out of paradise to realities of climate change.
One ocean, One People. ??
Stay tuned ?

A new voyage begins… #oceania2024
After 8 years of planning, 4 years of patiently waiting, 14 months since replanning, 10 months since announcement, a four month pause for family time with a sprinkle of a month delay, Oceania 2024 officially has a start date to voyage onward into #oneoceanonepeople
While there is still a lot up in the air in what’s to come and a major shoestring budget, I’m ready to take the leap! I’ve been ready! Especially those whom Ive yet to meet are ready for this voyager!
Here goes it! Stay tuned for more updates as the date comes closer ?
To catch up those that are new to my content, #oneoceanonepeople ? is an 8 year long ongoing culturally immersive voyage spanning from Hawai’i, Aotearoa, Tonga, Fiji, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, and Palau.
In Feb 2024, I will embark on an extensive voyage across the near entirety of Oceania to immerse into whats apparent to me, a vast Ocean of very similar interconnected cultures. To document and share the narrative and way of life of Pacific People in a unique, respectful, and powerful way! ?

Australia's working holiday visa has been something I've been looking forward to for years. And with the coronavirus situation, that opportunity is looking pretty bleak. But I have hope and will just have to see where it goes. However in the meantime, I am working hard on creating sustainability in my life for where I can support myself financially much healthier on the road. And missing a working holiday, won't be such a hard loss of an opportunity. Stay tuned and stay safe voyagers.
