I am a bit late to the party but i lived in the Marshall Islands as a kid with my family, we were from New Zealand and farher got a job working for Air Marshal Islands and he trained all the flight crew back when they used to do international trips. The plane showen in your pic on the runway was a DC8 it was a unique plane as it was setup as a combi, it could take half people and half freight. It now lives in Hawaii at a Navel Air Base museum. We flew all over the pacific in that and others from 1992-1994. My family were fortunate enough to be made so welcome with the marshalese people, we made lots of friends and my brother and I really enjoyed this part of our childhood. Yokwey to you all.
@@peninakumar538 Hi I live in Christchurch, I often wonder what its like in majuro now , would love to go visit one day. I got to spend time fishing and playing with all the marshelese kids, making forts and eating coconuts fresh off the trees, eating papaya and salt fish and also experiencing some US culture too flying to hawaii and other islands, spent time going to laura for swimming and just having a great time as a kid coming from another world away like NZ. Had my 10th birthday in Hawaii, I had the honor of meeting the then president Amata Kabua and his family. It was a neat place and i miss it even 30 years later.
@@simongillard7522 awww that’s beautiful experience you have there. I too have not been back to the Island. I left Majuro in 2003 to US. And arrived here with my 3 kids in 2005. I then flew to Hawaii and gave birth to my youngest daughter in 2007. I never had a chance to make a trip back to Majuro. I hope one day I will.
Summer 1990, I worked on Majuro for COM, teaching 2 English classes. The people I met there were nice folks, including the leader of COM (at the time), Hilda Jetnil, and Selina who worked with Jetnil. I briefly met Lanny Kabua once, and a nice waitress at the Plumeria Lounge (?). In Hawaii, I met the RMI President (and his wife) at the Ramada in Waikiki in 2015. I also met a cool Marshallese guy, Tom Luther, working at the HSH in Kaneohe, and a Marshallese nurse at Unit U. YUKWE to all of you nice people.
One thing O’ahu isn’t short of besides Filipinos, is Marshallese and Micronesians! I have met many kind ones here apart from of course those in the Marshall Islands! Glad you have fond memories of kind people 😊😊😊
Iakwe eok Greg from the Marshall Islands. Hilda Heine (no longer Jetnil) is currently an active member of the parliament here. Hope you'll be able to jambo to Majuro one day. Jerammon waj.
You’re most welcome to our beautiful little nation anytime. Please visit us soon and learn more about our culture. Much IAKWE from the marshall islands.
This is a very interesting video. So glad I spent about 14 years living the Marshall Islands. I been to Majuro about 20 times for long periods of time. Enjoy my time there.
@@aperezvoyages Since I worked on the Kwajalein Atoll area as a Police Officer on Kwjalein. The outer Islands I visited were in that Kwajalein atioll area. Now the capital city was my second home Because I was married to a Marshall Islander. She passed in 2016 but, we raised three (3) sons and one daughter. My two oldest sons are US Marines, US Army and my daughter is currently in US Navy Basic Boot camp. My youngest son is still in high school. So glad I worked and lived there about 14 years. So in reality my name now is a Marshallese family name since two of my children were born there. Being a widower and single dad. I count the blessings plus, one day contemplating retiring there in Majuro.
I would love to visit this island. I was stationed on Guam in the 1980's and loved the people. Majuro looks to be a great destination spot to stop and take in the sights.
th-cam.com/video/QeO5ai0arhA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mJxIdktlWNpj_bz- I have a video solving air pollution and I want to send it to governments to stop air pollution but my country is the United Statss and the government is so busy I sent a letter but I think that would take a long time to be answered so I wanted an entire country to accept this idea fastly and since you live at the capital island you can send a letter to the Marshall Islands government since it’s a small country I might do this to other small countries live Tuvalu Seychelles Comoros Mauritius Kiribati Tonga Vanuatu
Well I certainly hope you enjoyed your stay. I hope next time you come to the RMI you'll get a chance to go to the outer islands, that is where the culture is still strong. They most welcoming to foreigners or people from other atolls.
Great video. When I was in the Marshall Islands, Majuro to be exact, it felt so familiar with like pacific island life. But when I went to some of the outer islands, that was EPIC! Btw, are u gonna post more videos of the country? I can’t wait. Thanks!
Interesting your perspective of Majuro! But even better if your mention to the outer islands. The main plane for air Marshall Islands was undergoing repair in Australia at the time so I couldn’t go to Jaluit atoll like I wished. So instead went to Arno nearby. I’ll be posting a bunch more brother! 😊
Anthony. I don't know much about the Marshall Islands except Bikini Atoll is there. Thanks for sharing your experiences off the beaten path. Aloha my friend.
Yea man! In fact I didn’t even know where the bombs were dropped until About 8 years ago. Then I started learning more about the islands. I was near clean of funds otherwise I would have loved to visit Bikini. Or he’ll any outer island ! 😊 aloha brother
From Houston you might have one more connecting flight to Hawaii Oahu, than Majuro Marshall Island. I think United has 3 flight a wk if I am not mistaken. The Marshall island is a day ahead of the states.
Yes what Deborah said! United is the airline service the marshalls internationally other than Nauru. You’ll more than likely fly straight to HNL then to MAJ. if not either connect in Phoenix or LAX. Assuming the marshalls are not closed off to covid
Awesome content bro! I was a teacher in Majuro 2019/2020 and I always love seeing new videos from my second home. I have some vlogs from Majuro as well if you'd like to check them out!
Awesome bro! Yea I just took a look at your channel and glad you got some documenting of footage done while you were there. Including FSM also! Not only great for people to see but a great video journal for yourself :D
This was supposed to be my 101st country visited, June 2023, but United Airlines messed up my vacation and now I can't go. I'll try again sometime soon.
@@aperezvoyages my flight was delayed for two days from my home town due to cancelations. When I arrived in Hawaii and landed I got a notification my flight to the Marshalls was cancelled. I went rebook and they couldn't get me out for another eight days. I told them to send me back home!
@theocho8689 that’s insanneee!!!😳 sorry to hear that make. I usually hate when people tel me this, but it sounds like there was a reason why that happened. Hope you get to replan🙇🏻
@@aperezvoyages yes in Hawaii they are faced with alot of discrimination. . . because of the amount of crimes these other micronesian people commit ... and the first thing the locals do is point fingers at the marshallese because they look similar to the other micronesian people... so basically they are being blamed for another culture from the micronesian communities crimes simply because they look similar
@@santospaul8103Marshallese people have caused the lowest crimes in Hawaii. Them Chuukese and other Micronesians are the reasons why the Polys are calling us cockroaches. Marshallese people are way ahead of yall but yall too afraid to admit. No Marshallese is moving to yalls countries. People from other Micronesian countries are moving to Marshall Islands to look for a better life. Lol
That's a bold statement you have there, just wanted to say in a friendly manner, just remember a big culture differences, and of course more laid back, iakwe waj jen USA, BTW love❤️❤️ your videos 🦈👌
Yea 😅 if it were me now, definitely would have had a more humble approach in my words. But was with all good intent and love. Marshallese are great people and respect and appreciate then! Kommoltata for your love braddah! 🤙🏽
It should feel like the US because the Marshall Island it is the United States. Just like Puerto Rico and some of the Virgin Islands. If you look at the definition of the United States, the Marshall Island is part of the definition. So, the people will have their own culture, their own language besides English and their own things but at the end it is just like going to another state.
the US tested Nuclear weapons off bikini atoll. The United States is in debt the Marshall islands for all the disastrous calamity illness from the nuclear fallout , 50 years later several atolls are uninhabited due to levels of Radiation. Marshallese are having to build Sewalls due to global warming and the ocean over taking their land. I was shocked when I visited in 2019! Fortunately Marshallese can work and live in the US with that visa requirements. In the past 20 years a third of the population has left the Marshall islands

How can I travel to the Marshall Islands from Houston? How many connecting flights and where?

Nice that the Marshallese give you Aloha on their land...sadly, it's not the other way around.

only few little islands are radioactive .
You forgets to mention the biggest influencer is Christianity before the American pop culture etc.😊anyway great story thanks 🙏

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
To be honest, flying across the ocean just to see more America is not attractive to me. I prefer visiting countries that look nothing like USA.
Nothin like a plane view to a place you’re about to explore 😊😊
