I spent a week in Tuvalu in March and had a blast. Also stayed at Filamona, but my room looked better ;-) Filamona dinners are pretty decent. L's Lodge on the other side of town breaks the rules somewhat and organizes activities on Sundays. I did kayaking. I also did a boat trip to a small island in the south of the atoll. And I took a trip to the Marine Conservation Area. On Sunday I went to church and made friends. I crashed a water sustainability conference and made friends with visiting UN folks. The Tuvalu Women's Council right next to Filamona has a lunch restaurant and also sells local snacks. Oh, you can also rent a scooter and ride around. I met some random people and we partied at the Lagoon Hotel. If not for the fact that I got violently sick my second to last day, it would have been a perfect holiday. I actually want to go back and visit other atolls!
Thank you for sharing what it is really like on Tuvalu. You have cured my interest and saved me a lot of money. I'll stick with vacationing in Hawaii. The seashells you collected were beautiful, I will say. The different markings and colors are amazing. And that sunset was spectacular!!!!!! And I love the kitty at Sue's Kitchen.
Shouts out to you from Atlanta, GA. I'm a huge fan of this channel.. You go the places I probably would never even think about and you bring the exclusive real life footage. Thank you much.. Really enjoy this
I deleted my comment because I mixed up the countries. It was in relation to Feynman's "Tuva or bust", which is in Siberia. Two completely different things. In case you wondered.
I love watching your videos because they are so real experiences. I'm a fan of you and cant wait for more. Enjoy your exploring and stay safe out there.❤❤
I'm new to your videos but I'm trying to catch up on all of them.i really love them.ive been all over the south Pacific I know your enjoying it.keep up the great work!God bless!😊😊😊
This economy is based on sea rise from global warming. Captain Cook noted how inundated these islands were in the late 1700's. Scam mentality baked into the DNA for literally 100's of years.
i find your videos very refreshing and amusing. its best to mingle with local people, they can take you to great spots for sightseeing and best beaches. if only you have more days, you can check out the outer islands.
Next time you go you have to visit to the small island nearby is beautiful… and you have to make friends there so you can have free food drinks and everything.., they take you to visit some other small island
Great video and what an interesting country! Are there other foreign embassies besides Australia and Taiwan? Love your sense of humor and no nonsense attitude.
Aloha from North Shore, O’ahu! I really enjoyed this video and all your others that I have watched. Love off the beaten unique places. Would love for you to go to Fakarava Atoll French Polynesia and a lot of other Oceania spots! Mahalo for great content!
@@EscapewithEmily11 awesome! Hope you go and also to other lesser known atolls and islands in Oceania. I live in paradise and hence don’t go on vacations nor can I afford to with the cost of living in Hawai’i so I will live vicariously through you. I just recently discovered your channel so will be bingewatching all of your videos. You are gorgeous too btw! I wanna know how you are able to afford to do this fulltime! Inquiring minds want to know! Well if you are a trust fund baby you sure are genuine and not entitled like so many of them who land on our islands here and become influencers. You seem like you really appreciate places for what they are. Mahalo nui!
Hi Emily... I just recently watched your video and I just wanted to share with you my thoughts on your video.... first of all I'm from this beautiful little Island TUVALU anyways your video was nice BUT I was so sad that you didn't get to really enjoy it, just because you didn't ask anyone to help you out...... only if you did ask someone I think you will enjoy it...... it's not like if you ask someone to help you that you'll have to pay them no..... my people and I will be very happy to take you out for tour for FREE..... SO...... PLEASE.... IF YOU EVER COME BACK WE'LL ALWAYS BE THERE TO HELP OUT DO BE SHY 😊...... and I'm sorry if your room wasn't really clean 👀 anyways thank you for visiting my home land 🥰😊

I would love to come here someday. I would like to maybe take the boat ride to other islands or go snorkeling. Just wondering though, what was the internet like in Tuvalu? Was there internet at your hotel and other places?
You need to go to Yap Island, Micronesia. More lovely and there are more things to see. Make sure you book you hotel at ESA Hotel. Family hotel and we provide tour around the island and lots to see. Try their food and their taro. ask for the yellow sweet taro. you will love it. Enjoy your trip and I am following your channel.
Yeah should ask for directions, we sprechen ze english. hhh. Saturdays are the worst days to fly in. Hire a scooter to get around especially with the heat. You just went in during a drought so that sucks.
ROFL The entire country is only one street and a small town center, there are no directions, there’s barely a spot on the map for the country. You don’t need a scooter.
The entire island of Fogafale (where she walked for hours) is one of 29 group of islets that make up Funafuti. And the Funafuti group is one of nine groups of islands and islets that make up Tuvalu. Barely scratched the surface there chief. Lol.
@@kellyjessielisa6332 ah yes, we're back to square one. Get a guide. That person will provide all your necessary logistical needs. But you're welcome to swim. That'll draw a crowd for sure.
@@salesafalesene1077 Hahahhaha it’s like you’ve never heard of google maps, why would you ask someone for directions to another island, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
@@Richmond.Ca.2200 since you are an islander I would think you would appreciate her content. I think the problem is that society is kind of expecting entertainment, so yes her video is low key and subdued, but I appreciate it for what it is, just the real thing with no fireworks.

Thanks for watching!

I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it
That bone was cut clean on one side meaning it was likely the remains from a beach bbq cook out, left behind as natural returning to nature.
I need to catch up on some of your recent videos, love the South Pacific content, so hard to find good content about this part of the world, thanks!
Going to Church is a good way to meet the locals. Hopefully they have a coffee hour. Seventh Day Adventists have pot luck meals.
This is a great video. Thank you for sharing your trip with us Emily.

You have travelled the whole country on foot. You have travelled a lot today.
Talofa for Tuvalu hope you enjoyed your special journey and have a lovely day of our beloved country Tuvalu take care of yourself mate 🙏🙏💜
Beautiful simple island life, love your exploration videos.
Excellent video Emily, thoroughly enjoyed it and learned more about Tuvalu, thanks for sharing!
Such a nice walk, enjoyed seeing the harbor with all of the containers and cemetery as well
I love watching your videos because they are so real experiences. I'm a fan of you and cant wait for more. Enjoy your exploring and stay safe out there.❤❤
I like that there are CARS. For a place with the size of a tiny village :D

Welcome aboard!
I like your video its make me remeber.2017 i stayed 9 days with a family in Tuvalu i was the only tourist.Very slow pace on the island.
The way the earth's temperature is rising, a tsunami can hit this place any time. May God bless these people.❤❤
Lol

6:16 that was a water truck.
There are no shops on the otherside of the airfield
Nice video! As a coin collector, I would love to see the coins you get from those countries 💱
This is so cool. Great video.
Love all ur videos❤
Awesome always finding interesting items on your adventures 24:55
Wao so beautiful and very nice ❤❤❤❤
Kinda remind me of the tunnel lady on Tiktok
New friend from Solomon Islands
Do they still us the runway as a playground, playing volley ball and soccer in the mornings and evenings?
Yes!
Why wouldn't they? Not that many planes fly in and fly out to begin with, and it is some sort of public square when no planes are on it!
What is the rate of that hotel? Thank you
Emily how was your last trip now?
👍👍👍 cool
❤❤❤❤
Great❤
What is the name of the city? Emily
Christianity throw and unite the Islands of the South Pacific in peace, that's why Sunday is a Holy day.
Thanks for the video, Good Luck.

Lol, it's the least visited country for a reason. But hey, like you said, it was the novelty.
Not sure what to say about this video. I admire your positivity and your courage but I found the video a bit depressing.
I thought it was great. Love the vid, this country will be the first to go due to climate change unfortunately
The reality is grim for many. Ciunt your lucky stars youre not there
LoL IT'S KRAZY I HAVE NEVER SEEN ISLAND SMALL AT THIS ONE .....NO GROCERIES STORE AROUND EITHER 🤣🤣🤣👁️👁️ GOOD LUCK 🤞🤞
They have plantation to survive on

What? I can’t believe you think it’s boring! She is showing real life in a different culture and in a place visited by few.
