Question, I’m trying to ship my car to WESTERN SAMOA, do yall think it’s cheaper to ship it to Am. Samoa first then ship it to Western Samoa after?
You guys should try the mackerel cook with coconut cream
WOW, what a great story! Great couple too! Subbed.
She's so lucky she got it in the same day. I get mine in 2weeks...
Do you have any tips. I’m a recent army veteran thinking of moving to the island. Hard to find housing
Talofa lava - I lived in Tafuna AS for 2 years (1967 and 1968) and worked for the Dept. of Education - Supervising the putting of all the actual TV sets into all the schools on all islands for the "New" educational TV system in AS. I've only been back once and that was in 2003. Wonderful people I worked with and an experience for me as a 25 Year old that changed my life. Including being drafted drafted and having to report to Hawaii - Waikiki Beach - to get inducted and swore in to the US Army. If that had not happened i might still be living in Amarika Saaaamo a . I might come visit again some day while I can. I am now 81 yeas old and live in my home in Colorado. Fa'a fa tai !
What about dogs we have 3
Yup. U guys got to go to Au'nuu. Just me. It beautiful. Thank you for all the videos. I really enjoy it. Appreciate it.
Hi. I appreciate the videos and the comments. Thank you. But can u guys go check out my island. Au'nuu. Think u and the kids will love it. I'm live in LA Cali.
I was trying to find the best places to find a boat in America Samoa for sale. Any tips?
How much is the slip Does the slip have electric Does the marina have shower and bathroom ?? What is the name of the marina???
The name of the marina, and the town is in?? There phone #
Read some of the comments below. From what some say, I don't think this couple is still in American Samoa, and they may have separated or divorced as well. I just hope that they are well, given how kind they seem.
How big is you sailboat? How much is your slip per month?? Does your marine have empty slips for rent?? Does it come with power hook up ??
Good morning. 😊How to apply there for work ma'am /Sir?
I have a house for rent close to beach for small amounts
🙏✝️🤴😄👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thats a stupud option to own land.
I’m at American Samoa 🇦🇸
Thats where we swim when i was young. Thats my family's house yall swimming in front of 👏👏👏. Love the video.
Does anyone know why ASF stopped posting? I always enjoyed the content and was endlessly fascinated with life in AS. Hope the ASF crew is well :)
Can you grow main land veg/fruits on the island? Or is it too difficult?
American Samoa doesn’t allow land ownership to anyone who isn’t of Samoan blood. This is the reason they chose to live aboard a boat. (They were tired of renting) I assume the stress of living in a fixer upper boat on the water with a family and local legality challenges was probably too much for them to handle, unfortunately putting an end to their marriage. It’s sad but it happens. They took a risk and it just didn’t work in their favor. Hope they are doing well back on the mainland.
Wait did they actually divorce ? Or they went back to the mainland ? I literally hope they are ok but there’s been nothing ! I feel like they would at least update people who cared for them that they are ok!
Hello this tour back in our island is so amazing and beautiful. Born and raised in American Samoa and I'm from the village of ALAO. I just wanna see my daddy's grave and my grandma back home. I miss home 😞
Gotta love the Mom of the family! Such a vibrant young lady and the Father is awesome! The kids are so much fun to watch with so much energy! Beautiful Family! Thank you for sharing with us ❤️ Alofa atu
I love this couple! I’m from the Island and people like these guys makes our little island special
It's insane that so many people in America still fear socialized healthcare. In SOME places there may be horrible waiting or something, but I've sat for 8+hrs. in a waiting room on the mainland US to have my daughter seen so, having to wait is not detrimental. What is detrimental is families having to decide on care for themselves or a child based on cost, or being prescribed medication that they can't afford to purchase on a monthly basis. The American healthcare system/insurance companies are one of the biggest scams! People are gaslit into believing we have "worldclass" healthcare, meanwhile we have the highest infant/maternal mortality rates of other high-income countries while paying the highest amount for healthcare...CLEARLY the system is broken!
Nice video. I love the process and seeing the support and consideration that you have for your spouse and future of your children is reason enough. It does seem to me that the plan of God and His providence had some undeniable influence. Blessings to you and your family.
#9 sounds like Philippines, 1898 - 1940
If you’re still there I’ll invite you to our reunion soon🤙🏽
i ordered the book on amazon hopefully it will be shipped soon
@amsamfam ok then go grab your kids and clean up one small area of the beach. Make it a game. Do something at least
R you guys still there or move back to the CONUS?
I’ve been passing your boat for a while but I haven’t seen anyone on the boat. I haven’t seen your truck or any of you guys around. I hope you guys are okay
ya... how is Samoa your personal territory if you cant own its land and it has its own Govenrment, you guys are super arrogant. Guess what... learn your own history before you attempt to teach our Samoan history
love it or hate it.. who cares. Its Samoa, if you dont like it ....deeeez nutz bra
How is education over there? Is there a need for educators? as many small community places / islands.. there is a name to that feeling you've had.. where you feel connected to those you don't even know the name of but see on a regular basis.... places like that come from an understanding that people are all connected and in trying times will rely on each other.
I'm sure there is a lot of info I'm missing, but based on your video of health care.. it appears you don't have health insurance, (ie. United, Tricare, Blue Cross/Shield) for yourselves or your kids? and instead are relying on Medicare, which is 'tax payer funded', subsidized social healthcare system. -However, through that government subsidized program, you've had no troubles in getting the care you've needed?.. even though it's not really the US, you're able to make use of a US social program (would this be similar to PR, and Guam then in that regard?). Additionally, being that it's an remote, and small island nation; specialized care such as an orthopedic surgeon would involve a flight to Hawaii or Philippines as an example? Am I understanding all of this info correctly?
what is the healthcare situation over there now? and is there a great need of providers there?
Swiss family Robinson.
thank you for the information we have been looking for a place to retire she really wants to go there
Most of London is only 20mph.
Mosquitoes love humidity.
Give me continuous Summer sunshine all year definitely !!
My village is near Tafuna
Hey AmSamFam Just finished all your videos and wonder what happen to yall ???? Anyone update me if somethin to them or missing?
I wish i can visit there😊
I'm looking forward to moving there and calling it my home. From Colorado, the cost of living is going up, Knowing is mostly christian friendly to close the deal, I really can't wait.
It’s my understanding that the Samoa people are very nice and respectful to almost everyone within reason, is this true?
Excellent video with lots of information. My daughter just started a job there and is looking for a car. Had a lot of problems finding one or a shipping co with reasonable rates. Thank you for the info. I am sending her this link now ....
