I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into the rich culture and traditions of Palau with me. I’d love to hear your thoughts and reflections-in the comments! 🇵🇼 Please consider checking out it's direct inspiration, Living Like A Hawaiian tinyurl.com/4yfr8488 & stay tuned for more gathered stories around the Pacific Islands 🌊
Thank you for doing this. The world needs to know the real Palau and our deep-rooted culture and traditions. Not just showing off tourists' sights but who we are. This made me so emotional and proud. Thank you so much ♥️🇵🇼
I’m so grateful with my tools and skills, was able to extend the knowledge and learnings of Palau through everyday Palauans. An absolute blessing! 💙💙💛💛
The ending when you said “life couldn’t get any more simpler than this” and she said “welcome to palau” is a good example of how laid back our people are and easy to get along with in such short amount of time. Keyword “FAMILY”. that’s all there is to it. GOD bless brother. 🇵🇼 can’t wait to see more content.
It might be because alike Chamorro, it’s closely connected to its source of an austronesian language, unlike lets say chuukese which has evolved into a sublanguage within itself. Interesting stuff right? 🤓
It definitely captivated my heart when I first noticed them on women and was told initially what it was! Couldn’t help but dig deeper to learn more 🥰. Sulang for supporting the work I do 🙇🏻💙
I love how you beautifully presented Palau. Palauan language is always a bit difficult due to how deep it is.. for example “I love you” in Palauan sounds longer because if you translate “Betik a renguk er kau” it literally say “Found my heart in you”.. Thank you for visiting ❤
Omg that’s such a beautiful deep meaning and context! I appreciate my excruciating efforts that much more 🥹 sulang for sharing and look forward to my return with a bang 🌴
This the first time I've seen a Micronesian island handled with so much respect. Most videos they show the basic info/stuff, but it doesn't capture the essence of being (insert any Micronesian island in this parenthesis). Althoo Palau is not my country, this video made me really happy that the essence of being Palauan was captured through your video.
Ahh super love this comment and so happy you also felt the essence of Palauans through this video 🫶🏽 it’s not my nation either, but felt like part of a big family 💙 sulang my friend
Wow. Watching this as a Palauan who moved to the states at a young age made me really nostalgic and emotional. Thank you so much for showing another side to the islands that not many get to experience and appreciate ❤
Alii Destiny 💙💛💙 was such a great blessing to have spend the time I did with Palauans! It left a place in my heart as I left a part of mine there. Now I just need to go back, which I intend to do on this trip that begins next month! I’m happy to hear it brought you back to your roots via visuals ☺️
@@aperezvoyages sulang!😂 yes already talking like a PALAUAN! My man! GOD bless you man and thank you for visiting my home and telling people how beautiful it is from people, culture to the land. Amazing video. 🇵🇼 680
Sulang for putting my Little Rock on the map! As a Palauan living in America and having to explain where I’m from I can just share this video. Even though it was short and surface level, you did show it as a “Palauan” would. Simple is our island life. I miss it. I feel you will intrigue other real curious minds and adventures to dig deep and go to Palau to find out more in terms of our history and us as a people moving with the times but holding on to our roots. ❤
I really Love this comment bro! You highlighted just about every intention of why this was all put together. Now it’s whether or not another traveler will have an open mind to experience what’s real. Glad to have brought you home 🇵🇼
Just wanted to say alii to another Palauan. My mom moved to the states in the 90s and I’ve never been to Palau. So proud to be part Palauan and want to be more part of my mothers culture. It’s hard to find other Palauans and relate and discover more about their beautiful culture and language
We’ll allow this video to be a first hand glimpse. Palauans are so welcoming. I can’t say they’d be less for a palauan wanting to ground themselves into their roots.
Thanks for sharing this experience!!! I have been a digital resident of Palau through their RNS program for the past year, and since then have been really opening my eye's to that part of the world. I have wanted to get a deeper look into the culture there, and this was produced beautifully for just that!!!
Wow I love this! Definitely got me all emotional 🥺 Sulang for showing our tiny island nation, it's people as well as it's culture to the world 🙏🌎 Proud to be Palauan 🇵🇼 One love ❤
This project and the connections I made in Palau was quite the beautiful journey! And I’m glad was able to use my tools to best tell a story of the real PALAU. 🙇🏽🇵🇼 if I were Palauan, I’d be proud too. Oh wait, I am Palauan now 😁 haha sulang 🙏🏽
Whether you are Muslim, Christian or whoever it is, it is only the Prophet KACOU PHILIPPE that you must follow today to be saved. Otherwise you will certainly go to hell because he is the light of the world today. Salvation is not in a holy book or in a religion. But Salvation has always been the Prophet messenger of the generation. philippekacou.org/file/local/BOOK_OF_PKP.pdf
I’ve had friends in school from Palau but this definitely gave me a glimpse into their homeland. Love the perspective and the eagerness to learn about their culture/language.
I am Tongan🇹🇴 living in the USA🇺🇸. Thank you so much for this 28 min video clip and documentary of your traveling the Pacific, especially this great and professionally done of the “REAL PALAU” I love it. My last name is Palau. I love it! Sulang and “Malo ‘Aupito. (Thank you so much) in Tongan. 🇹🇴🙏🙏
"Living like a Palauan" I like this video. It dives deeper into the real Palau and what it means to be a Palauan, rather than just sightseeing. Thanks for sharing. Sending love from Palau!
I haven’t been home in about 8 years, I’ve seen almost all videos and documentaries that I could find. This one is by far, is the best one. “Ke Kemal mesulang” for this one. ❤
Thanks for sharing. I'm Palauan by blood but adopted at birth so this video was refreshing to my soul. I haven't even tried betel nut. You're more Palauan than I am lol.
Sulang for this beautiful video! Palau is the homeland of my dad and since I traveled there the first time long ago, it has been the home of my heart. This captures the very essence of Palau. Thank you for showing the depth of the rich culture and Palau’s beautiful people. I absolutely love this!
Sulang for sharing your story, connection and your appreciation for your own culture. It was a huge blessing to share what I learned to promote pride within! 🇵🇼🥹
Oh man, you dropped a gem my friend! And it hit like a love letter! I'm a long haul truck driver here in the USA. It took me only 4 years to see all 48 states. But only one red splattered trail back home 😂. This line of work I do makes ageing proficient and ahead of schedule at what it does. This video makes me want to go home before the sciatica catches up 😂🤣🇵🇼🇵🇼💯💯
I liked this video. You exposed our island and culture to the world. Even though I didn't get to see much of my home state of Peleliu. Dopest video of Palau lately.
Sulang for this bro! I actually have a planned Peleliu WW2 project down the line that will show some of innocent quite and quaint Peleliu through that video. But yea glad you enjoyed and hope it brought you closer to home 🇵🇼🤙🏽
I was there from 1964 to 1966 with the US Coast Guard manning the Loran A stations through out the Caroline Islands while stationed at USCG Air Station. It sure has changed since then.
Wow! I think this is the best video on UA-cam about Palau. Your humble voice made it so much better. Thank you and Thanks to all my beautiful Palauan people who explained everything so well 🥹❤🏝️ Missing home so much right now ❤
7:17 beautiful house looks like "Rumah Bolon" from Bataknese. In Indonesia, Bataknese are sometimes called North Korean people because the tone of their language is similar to Korean , they use Austronesian languages with east Asian tones.
Dude, what a masterpiece. I can tell how much work was put into making this video. I bet it feels so good to know that it's complete and on UA-cam awaiting anybody to learn more about Palau. What a beautiful community. I can't wait until I inevitably visit Palau one day.
All the intent I initially had for this video manifested times a billion. For PALAUANS but for the outside world, an educational piece on what's REALLY to appreciate about this place. I appreciate it my fellow creator. 🤙
You are officially a Palauan, you really went through everything about Palau and it’s Culture, I’m proud to be one of them and seeing this video will forever make me proud Palauan, Thank you for your time to visit Palau and for making this video❤️ Kể kmal mesulang e Ngirameketii, God bless you always

thank you for a beautiful honest sincere portrayal of our island. It's always a fear of watching foreign document of Palau, be it books, articles or even videos, as we can easily be misrepresented from an outside view. This, was beautiful and inspiring. Makes one proud to be a Palauan. Mesulang, bong em luut el mei/thank you and welcome back to visit again. peace.
We plan on going to meet our family we never met! We had to send my kids great grandma back there last year! Sumiko is happy to be home but we miss her so much😩! Thank you for this video!

Thank you for watching. I'm so glad you enjoyed! Don't forget to sub. I have a Hawai’i one as well as much of the Pacific Islands coming in the next year. 🙇♂
So beautiful! Greetings to my Austronesian brothers and sisters! 💕 Amazing how the faces are so similar despite the thousands of miles between us. They could be from my parent's village.
What a lovely video. ❤ And beautifully filmed and edited. I enjoyed it. Very educational, too. I got teary-eyed when he gave you the story board as a gift. That was sweet. 🥲
I feel a sense of humble pride witnessing this beautiful video. Being a Palauan serving the United States I have to put the country I serve first but I choose to put my motherland first in my heart because of my beautiful culture and country who made me the strong spirited and disciplined person I am today, with the values I learned and have being raised arround my culture. Respect, Integrity, Resilience, Preserverance, and Humility. My upbringing in my home country have helped me exceed in anything I do and in the field I am in and you reminded me of where I am from once again. Thank you for experiencing and immersing yourself in our culture and embracing it willingly. I miss my home💙💛🇵🇼 Btw shout out to my brother Tomoichi!! Proud of you for being such a knowledgeable and informative tour guide🫶🏽💯
This was beautifully said and this video once again reminds me that the initial intent was projected in the end. And that was being Palauans closer to home, even those on island. 💙💛 sulang 🇵🇼
How did you do that? After 16 years living in this bustling city 30min from Tokyo, nothing had made me miss my home more than your video 👏👏👏 ke kmal mesulang

30 Know that when you are born, all family and relatives’ blessings and curses from Adam down hang above you. But when you reach the age of consciousness, not the sorcerers but your first actions determine your choice. And the solution is to return first to God through his prophet according to 2 Chronicles 20:20. Seek Salvation first. And Salvation is only through the living prophet of your time. Not an angel, not a book called Bible or Quran. Not a prophet called Moses, Jesus of Nazareth or Mahomet. But the words of a living man amongst you. And you, whatever difficulties and sufferings that you are going through, first, know that the person to blame for all this is yourself. And in search for a solution, you shall not go to just any prophet and not just anyone should lay his hands on you. You shall never trade your Salvation for an ephemeral relief from Satan in a Catholic, Protestant, evangelical or Branhamist church. In Genesis 50, Joseph asked that his bones should go up from Egypt with Prophet Moses. And you, if you are a chosen one, you must not die before you accept Kacou Philippe, the living prophet of your time.
I’m from Yap living in New York watching your video makes me want to revisit the island.been to Palau long time ago right before they build the friendship bridge. By the way you should visit YAP. 😊
Wow, the traditional house of Palau looks very similar to the Batak house in around the Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia. According to the latest research, the Batak arrived and lived around this Lake Toba from 2500-5000 years ago (originally they came from the South China but passing the Philippines before moving down to Sumatra). Maybe some cultural relationship does Palau have with this tribe as they split in the Philippines? The word "A" or "Ak" is similar to "Aku" or "Ahu" (I or I am) in both Batak and Indonesian, "kau" is precisely the same with "kau" (you) in Indonesian language and "sulang" is similar to "sulang" in Batak language which connotes "thank you".
This is great! I'm so interested to know where you are from. I am happy that Palau will be part of your international day and will be more than willing to help with any questions etc to help your project.
I’m gonna keep in touch with you. Should my Tokelau journey be successful considering what’s needed to go, I’ll plan to dive into the language when I’m there. I’m gonna need the help with translations 🥹🇹🇰
I miss this place. Absolutely gorgeous island and we were there around the same time, hoping to go back as soon as I can! Sulang!! po for the for the video!
Thank you so much my dear friend😀 I rewatched it with my Perez family the other day, first time since Feb and really put me in tears! Sending blessings 🙏 🇵🇼

Mesulang my friend! I’m def getting geared up for my return once I begin my pacific island trip next year ☺️
As a speaker of another Austronesian language. Palauan language really stands out, quite unique even when I try to read the words.
It might be because alike Chamorro, it’s closely connected to its source of an austronesian language, unlike lets say chuukese which has evolved into a sublanguage within itself. Interesting stuff right? 🤓
The story behind the Palau jewelry, its' sacredness and true value really touched my heart. Thank you Sulang for sharing!

Greetings to my Austronesian brothers and sisters! 💕
Amazing how the faces are so similar despite the thousands of miles between us.
They could be from my parent's village.
Where are you from friend?
@@aperezvoyages Hola amigo.
My parents are from Minahasa in Northern Sulawesi.
I was there twice in November and December.
Oh nice. And you are there now or in Palau?
@@aperezvoyages I'm in Tangerang right now.
unfortunately I've never been to Palau. 😭
Nice man! Maybe one day 😃
Well done! Some of my family members were in this video. Cant wait to move back
Awesome!!! I wish you a safe and successful journey back 🥹🇵🇼
I just realized we are Instagram friends! 😃 alii/Hafa adai!
What a lovely video. ❤ And beautifully filmed and edited. I enjoyed it. Very educational, too. I got teary-eyed when he gave you the story board as a gift. That was sweet. 🥲
A very necessary inclusion that's connected to traditional Palauan stories it a video that is essentially a story 🙇♂ Im really glad you enjoyed 💙
I love how well written you story is. This would still be perfect if it was just you interacting with the folk. Ke kmal Mesaul!!!
This was deeply moving. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with the people and culture of beautiful Palau.
Was super blessed to share! Glad you enjoyed :)
I feel a sense of humble pride witnessing this beautiful video. Being a Palauan serving the United States I have to put the country I serve first but I choose to put my motherland first in my heart because of my beautiful culture and country who made me the strong spirited and disciplined person I am today, with the values I learned and have being raised arround my culture. Respect, Integrity, Resilience, Preserverance, and Humility. My upbringing in my home country have helped me exceed in anything I do and in the field I am in and you reminded me of where I am from once again. Thank you for experiencing and immersing yourself in our culture and embracing it willingly. I miss my home💙💛🇵🇼
Btw shout out to my brother Tomoichi!! Proud of you for being such a knowledgeable and informative tour guide🫶🏽💯
This was beautifully said and this video once again reminds me that the initial intent was projected in the end. And that was being Palauans closer to home, even those on island. 💙💛 sulang 🇵🇼
How did you do that? After 16 years living in this bustling city 30min from Tokyo, nothing had made me miss my home more than your video 👏👏👏 ke kmal mesulang
ahh man so happy to bring you close to home. Good thing is Japan is closer to home than the Palauans on the US mainland :(
Love this man I'm so glad inbound you on here one of fav things to watch. Proud to know you perspnally
Glad you enjoyed brother👏🏽✊🏽
I love watching your videos. Watching from Palau. Keep it up!
Sulang 🥹🥹🥹
Thank you for this great video, I love the pacific ocean and I wanna know more about its people and I was searching for Palau 🇵🇼 since I know nothing about it and I came across your video. Love and respect from New York 🇺🇸 🗽
My home city! 🗽 that’s awesome to hear man! The world can learn so many things from pacific people! I’m glad I was able to show at least glimpse into Palau!

Well said 🥹🥹🥹
30 Know that when you are born, all family and relatives’ blessings and curses from Adam down hang above you. But when you reach the age of consciousness, not the sorcerers but your first actions determine your choice. And the solution is to return first to God through his prophet according to 2 Chronicles 20:20. Seek Salvation first. And Salvation is only through the living prophet of your time. Not an angel, not a book called Bible or Quran. Not a prophet called Moses, Jesus of Nazareth or Mahomet. But the words of a living man amongst you. And you, whatever difficulties and sufferings that you are going through, first, know that the person to blame for all this is yourself. And in search for a solution, you shall not go to just any prophet and not just anyone should lay his hands on you. You shall never trade your Salvation for an ephemeral relief from Satan in a Catholic, Protestant, evangelical or Branhamist church. In Genesis 50, Joseph asked that his bones should go up from Egypt with Prophet Moses. And you, if you are a chosen one, you must not die before you accept Kacou Philippe, the living prophet of your time.
What a great video. Thank you for sharing. They adopted you by giving you a name. 🥰💖
Sulang 🥰🥰🥰💙💛
Hey Perez im the one that asked u on your tiktok video to visit Palau. So happy you did and hope u had a great time🫶🏽
Yesss I remember! Sulang for drawing me into Palau 🥹🫶🏽 I’m so happy I was able to give back tenfold to Palauans
I’m from Yap living in New York watching your video makes me want to revisit the island.been to Palau long time ago right before they build the friendship bridge. By the way you should visit YAP. 😊
Wow! That’s some time ago 🥹 I actually been wanting to visit yap for years. 🇫🇲
Such an Amazing story. Taking real people and engulfing yourself within. Great video.😃
🫶🏽 I appreciate you my #1 supporter
Wow, the traditional house of Palau looks very similar to the Batak house in around the Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia. According to the latest research, the Batak arrived and lived around this Lake Toba from 2500-5000 years ago (originally they came from the South China but passing the Philippines before moving down to Sumatra). Maybe some cultural relationship does Palau have with this tribe as they split in the Philippines? The word "A" or "Ak" is similar to "Aku" or "Ahu" (I or I am) in both Batak and Indonesian, "kau" is precisely the same with "kau" (you) in Indonesian language and "sulang" is similar to "sulang" in Batak language which connotes "thank you".
Wow never knew there's still beauty in this planet I will take my friends and visit thanks😉😉💯
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
