Hi! I'm Rocky, an Earth-lovin' flight attendant with a passion for sustainability. This channel is my experience as a military spouse in Okinawa, Japan while remaining a USA-based flight attendant (I commute!🥴)
Here's a bit of my life here in Oki & all things #falife. I plan to sprinkle ecotourism, living plant-based, & overall kindness towards our planet in my videos, because it's vital we protect this precious earth we all call home.
I'd love to connect!

Azores & Madeira, Portugal - the islands that will capture your heart
Join me on an unforgettable journey to the stunning islands of the Azores and Madeira 🌿✨
In this video I share my recent travels with my dad, exploring the lush landscapes, charming towns, and unique attractions of these Portuguese islands. From riding e-bikes around Sete Cidades in Sao Miguel, Azores to experiencing the vibrant culture and breathtaking views of Madeira on the Pico to Pico hike, discover what makes each island special.
These are two places that I 100% will be returning to, as I simply didn't get enough of them when I was there. Whether you’re planning your first trip or debating between these two islands, my insights and tips will help you make the most of your adventure 🌍
If you have any questions about planning your trip, let me know in the comments, I'm happy to help if I can! 🫶🏼

One of Okinawa’s most challenging hikes | Mt Awadake Loop
Переглядів 2 тис.6 місяців тому
We took a day to hike one of Okinawa's more challenging hikes, the Mt Awadake Loop. It was a steep incline, and hits two peaks over looking the ocean in multiple directions. Hiking in Nago comes with some pretty epic views, and always makes for a nice day of adventuring.

Fantastic!
Many thanks!
Loooooove Okinawa. Haven't been back since '95... soon, very soon.
Hope you get to go! such a great place!
Planning to retire in Okinawa 😊 well, 9 years to go, piece of cake 🙄😉 learning Japanese now, should be decent once the time has come
I am in the same boat! It's a tough language but really fun to learn! would love to retire in Oki too, such a great place
I flew with your friend Alyssa msp based and was talking about my bucket list to go to EB hopefully next year. She told me about you and your channel . Just watched it, beautiful and inspiring every one of you! I think I flew with you! Tsultim
oh my gosh what a small world! you are so sweet, thank you! I hope you get to go one day, it's definitely an adventure :)
Beautiful! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Tashi Delek nd nice 👌
This answered so many questions. Love your attitude, love the joy! Thanks!!
So glad! Thank you!
Thanks for a great video! I can’t wait to vacation to Japan again, and I’ll put this on the list to consider.
There's so much to explore you can't go wrong! Enjoy your trip!
Is march a good time to come to Okinawa to enjoy beaches, snorkeling and visiting ? Is it warm enough ?
usually people wear wetsuits in march, but there are some nice sunny days!
I love sweet potato
me too! :)
I am a foreigner married with a local Okinawa woman … I thought okinawa was Japan …:((( I spent 20 years in Okinawa then i moved to Tokyo and i realized what really Japan is i have wasted 20 years of my life in Okinawa…!!
Thanks for the good video! Wanted to use the app for my flight, but im not a frequent flyer. So im trying to do "whats right for me" 😂😅 Anyways have a good week!
素敵! 日本にいても、行ったことない😅 是非行きます。 素敵な動画をありがとう!
Hey EFA, your vlog is a lifesaver! Moving to Okinawa from India in Oct and you've not only calmed my nerves but also made me fall in love with the place! Thanks for sharing your adventures! Stay awesome!
so wonderful to hear! thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Going to Madeira tomorrow! I wish we had time to visit the Azores as well, but when we travel we like to immerse so we wouldn't want to make a short visit of it.
I totally agree, that's the way to travel! Hope you had a wonderful time in Madeira ☺️
@@EcoFlightAttendant Still there for 8 more days! :)
I can’t wait to be here!!!!
Marine at Camp Courtney Aug71-Aug72. (mostly) before 15May72 Reversion. Glad I had the opportunity to see the natural beauty of the island and meet so many friendly, wonderful and generous Okinawan people BEFORE the Reversion. To date, it was the most exciting, adventuous and wonderful year of my life!
Soooo, you can cast spell as in Florida Universal? Is it worth it to take my wand with me? 😅
It's the same tech so yeah
yes you can!
I had no idea Hogwarts Castle is in Prague.
Confused Czech noises 😂
That looks fun!
Thanks for the amazing video, I am glad I watched it.
I miss OKi so much 😔
Which months would you recommend, for visiting Okinawa? Thanks 😊😊
summer is great, as long as there isn't a typhoon but it's pretty hot! I enjoy Sept & Oct as well since the water is still warm!
@@EcoFlightAttendant Thank you very much 😊
🙏✝️💟🤴👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
I thought the US Marines were still dug in there, using flame throwers and tossing grenades. HUH. Well, after seeing this video I’d like to visit Okinawa as a tourist
Wow great video. It's such a beautiful place and I've heard the Nepalise people ate really nice. I hope you had a great time.😊😊
You forgot to cover the banana show. 😢
I have trekked the Himalayas 4 times, both the Khumbu region (Everest) and the Annapurnas. Well done on your trek. Kalla Pattar is a killer to climb. Nepal changed my life. I love it there.
You only have to wrap the sleeper hold strap around the seat for very few types of seats like southwest. Other than that, you wrap it around the head rest and that won’t bother the person behind. FYI
Spent 5 years stationed there , some of the best times of my life and many memories. Maybe someday I will get to visit again as a civilian.
Loved the vid! Please give more on the southern islands!
Wonderful! I was stationed on Kadena from 1992 to 1999 in the Air Force. Also took the IPCOT. Lived right on the HIja river until we moved on base. Took part in many of the events you described. The University of Maryland Asian Division was headquartered there and I was able to complete my Bachelor's degree. Scuba dived while there as well... I could go on and on. Such a beautiful experience for me and my family.
When did u go? We are going in august so we don’t know how the weather is
This was in beginning of Sept. no issues sleeping, loved the van, albeit pretty basic but super comfy!
@@EcoFlightAttendant what did u guys do for showers ? And food
Is this the BA van ? I order a Van from kuku we are super worried. How did ya slept?
Used to live in yokota afb
Great video! I am half-Okinawan and haven't been there since I was 7 years old. ☹
Wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing this. 🤩🤩🤩 I’m dying to visit Japan, especially Okinawa. I have never been. 😩😭 Would you say October is a safe month to visit, weather-wise? I mainly want to go to the beach/ water activities. I’ve read about the rainy season and typhoons. It’s so hard to choose a time to go. Thank you!
Oct is def one of my favorite months! ☀️
Very interesting! Thank you
I don't know how you did it, but you managed to coarsen the entire Okinawa experience with the music and the Western me-first subtext. Horrible.
Okinawa sucks being deployed there in the Military… Maybe it would have been different as a civilian. The island 🏝️ stinks 😷 and climate is off the chain humid.
I followed my Okinawan girlfriend to her home of Okinawa from Oakland CA where we met. I was a Navy Corpsman and got stationed at Marine Corps Camp Butler. I was there from 1975-1978. Nothing in the video is recognizable. My best friends were Japanese people from Tokyo who got tired of the rat race and moved to Okinawa where life moves slower.
Thanks for the video! Do you have any recommendation for a diving company that offers certification and is eco friendly?
Great overview of Okinawa! My wife is Japanese, so we travel to Japan each year (From U.S.) and visited Okinawa once, basically around around the whole perimeter of the island. What do you think is a good cost estimate to live there, let's say outside of but near Naha. Do you think $1300-$1800 is a good rough estimate for monthly expenses with a 1 bedroom apartment that has a living room and kitchen?
They both look absolutely gorgeous. Hope to visit one day!
Would love to go with you guys!!
Incredible footage, incredible info - as always!! ❤ Can’t wait for the next vid!!
much appreciated!! 🙏🏽
Wow, looks so magical. Yay for father-daughter trips. Thank you for sharing your trips with us! ❤
Thank you so much! Father-daughter trips are a blast! truly grateful ☺
Nice video and keep having fun on Okinawa. Enjoy
NOTHING ABOUT THE APP, JUST A ME ME ME PRETTY FACE SHOWING OFF HER LIFE......BORING.
What is this islands name
Hi there, i have found your video super helpful on planning our trip, may I ask if the beach you were in on 12:18 the same one you can see from Kafu banta "Happy cliff", I would love too go to something very similar to this. Thanks
