    Such a wonderful country and people... In most of country's tourism agents will be thinking how to make money from foreigners but here they treat and be friendly, kind like their own family members..

      @@aperezvoyages I am new to this channel, was it expensive to visit Tuvalu?

    • @aperezvoyages
      @aperezvoyages  Год назад +1

      Tuvalu is surely not a cheap place to get to. Then it’s a cash only nation so beyond that, it can be reasonable. But I wouldn’t call it a cheap destination per se

    Bro you are that guy that can easily become family. Their language sounds very similar to Samoas language. I’m sure no matter what place you go to you’ll earn family status and be able to unlock doors that are closed to many. May you receive good fortune and Godspeed.

    Hola A.Perez!
    Que tal la vida contigo hombre?
    You did a good job with the Tuvaluan language mainly because just like Español, it is phonetic.
    It is interesting to me because when listening to you and the locals speaking, I could here a mix of Tongan and Samoan in their language. Of course, it's not a surprise, not when you know that the Polynesian languages have their roots in the indigenous Taiwanese language.
    Muchas felicidades en sus viajes.

    Such a small island in the middle of the Pacific ocean, dead North of New Zealand. Was in Fiji years ago - most enjoyable, people similar to what you described, friendly but reserved. Quite a few Indian people in business when I was there, met people in the movie business, it was my industry back then.

    • @aperezvoyages

      Census taken in 2006 states around 2,600 Tuvaluans lived in New Zealand, I can only assume that number has maybe doubled or tripled along the way to 2020. They say S. Auckland is the capital of the Pacific Islands 😏

      When I went, I had very little funds to stretch out in 3 months and 6 island countries. My investments went all into travel and non into tech. I had an iPhone and gopro and took advantage of what I could in production and post production. I eventually got a mic after the trip ended for the same reasons you mentioned. 😊 thanks for the tip’ aloha 🤙🏽🌺

    • @aperezvoyages
      @aperezvoyages  3 года назад +1

      Right now you won’t be able to find the correct flight information as many flights have been cut off due to the coronavirus. But I know normal schedule it would take about four hours if I remember correctly from Fiji to Tuvalu.

      I found food and drink to be alright. I ate out once on Funafuti at a chinese restaurant and to no suprise it wasnt so expensive. I of course got a fish rice dish. Fish is in great abundance there ;).If i remember correctly water was a bit higher in price as it seemed i guess because of import costs, but it was my first time using AUD as currency so not so sure.
