Historically there was no writing in Polynesian culture so the Polynesian's used tattoo art that was full of distinctive signs to express their identity and personality. Tattoos would indicate status in a hierarchical society as well as sexual maturity, genealogy and ones rank within the society.

Once, Temaiatea and his wife lived in a cave on the island of Tupuai-Manu, known today as Maiao. One day, the young woman laid an egg. A yellow lizard hatched from the egg and the couple called it Mo'orea. They raised and nourished the lizard for several years until it became immense. Mo'oreaMo'orea Unfortunately arrived a time when the size of the lizard became a problem for the couple. In spite of Temaiatea's protests, his wife asked him to abandon Mo'orea for fear that they would be eaten. He finally accepted and the couple launched the outrigger canoe heading for Tahiti. The lizard waited for his parents, but torn by hunger, he finally realised he had been abandoned. Driving in despair she jumped into the sea looking for his parents. After struggling with the currents, and exhausted, he succumbed. His body washed ashore on Aimeho. Two fisherman found him the next morning and cried “Mo’orea Mo’orea”, and the island came to get its name.

This week I ventured outside the safety of my tropical paradise and flew to Europe to fly the flag 🇵🇬and encourage fellow adventurers to come visit our magic little corner of this big blue ball🌏.
This was my first long haul journey in three years - not gonna lie, it was strange - but it was also awesome. Seeing old friends, making some new ones but most of all, being invited to speak about a subject dear to my heart … home.
Here’s hoping that some will be inspired to come see for themselves. Thanks for making this happen and continuously including me in the family. Thanks to for hosting a great event. Here’s hoping I get invited back next year.
Em tasol - wok mas go yet.

"This is our moment.⁠

We cannot turn back time. But we can grow trees, green our cities, rewild our gardens, change our diets and clean up rivers and coasts. We are the generation that can make peace with nature.⁠

Let’s get active, not anxious. Let’s be bold, not timid"
