We are Living in the Pacific - 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.

Tropic Beauty
Living on a tropical island is a picturesque, multisensory experience that blends natural beauty with a uniquely tranquil and communal lifestyle. From the stunning, year-round scenery to the relaxed pace of life, island living offers a sanctuary from the stresses of urban environments and a deeper connection to nature.
Here you will experience breathtaking sunrises and brilliant sunsets. Enjoy the everyday sight of turquoise blue waters along exotic coastlines. A short trip can lead you from pristine white-sand beaches to lush rainforests, waterfalls, and hills.
Once you've experienced it all, the affliction never lets go.
