Moch Island Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Join me for a brief tour of Moch Island, situated in the Mortlock region of Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia. On this island, you will find three villages, two churches, and a school to explore. Additionally, I will provide further information on other unique aspects of the island.
❗️DISCLAIMER❗️
Traveling to the Mortlock Islands is incredibly difficult for a foreigner. There are no hotels or hostels to stay at; you must have an invitation from a local individual or family. I am able to share this experience with you because, from 2013-2015, I lived with a host family on Moch Island during my Peace Corps service. I have maintained positive relationships with the family and community at large over these years.

You will notice I have patches of hair missing on the back of my head. I was recently diagnosed with alopecia areata. I am currently looking at possible treatment options. Thanks for understanding.
THANK YOU for watching!
Beautiful island. Met people from this island in Kansas City, Missouri
Amazing! Yes, there are many Chuukese and Mochese living in Kansas City, Missouri.
Home Island!🥹❤️
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen!!
this is a beautiful island
Waaiiooo Thank you for sharing your video Michael. Been a long minute I havent been.
Thank you brother! Hopefully next time I am in Chuuk we can catch up.
Thank you Michael for sharing this!miss home sweet home..
You're welcome! I wanted to show more of the island, but felt uncomfortable about going into more private property areas without a companion. Overall it is the same beautiful place. There are a couple new homes that were built by IOM because of the typhoon a few years back.
Hi! Is there any surf spots in Chuuk?
Not that I am aware of, although in Pohnpei there is. Check out Pohnpei Surf Club: www.pohnpeisurfclub.com/
@@flylowtravel thanks man!
Wow interesting to hear that drinking kava is becoming a normal thing to do in Moch! Is it being grown on the island or is it the imported powder?😊
When I was living there from 2013-2015, I rarely saw anyone drinking kava. I was surprised when I came back this year. From what I understood from talking with people, it has become normalized throughout the Mortlocks entirely. It is all imported powder. People are selling it on island for about $30 a bag. I picked a couple bags up in Weno at Leiside Store for $20 each.
Waiooooooo!! Thank you so much for sharing your video, makes me even more pwosssss.😔 What I've seen from your Video it's totally different from what I remember/picturing in my head it's different from the time I was there. In my opinion, it was more cleaner back then and not too many houses too. Waiooooooo, unusen rukela ngang ren Moch. Wenen Beimoch, there were no vines plants/plants, just coconut trees, coneos and the local Fāl( huts) and I Wish they could atleast clean the school or do something about it to keep it clean. Thank you again for sharing pwe akan sarela ekkis ash pwosssssss. 😊😊 Take car & God bless
Awwwww :) I think Beimoch has changed the most out of the 3 villages since I went back this June. I remember seeing 20 - 30 canoes at the shore sitting on well kept grass. Now there are only a few. The vegetation has taken over that area and the basketball court. I miss seeing the large local house also at the shore. I remember hanging out in there many times while the village practiced songs for Catholic events in there. The one new thing I really liked was the solar lights that the government installed in each village. Now I don't have to worry about stubbing my toe on breadfruit roots when I walk at night haha.
Micronesia is clean, quiet, and peaceful places in the Pacific
Yes it is ☺️
waio I miss home
Waiooo moch aah sifar POs
