Growing up in Papua New Guinea, we didn’t have the trendy toys that many others took for granted. But we had something even better: the joy of simplicity. We played with marbles, stones, or a well-loved deck of cards, where we all became masters of ‘Last Card’ (our own Island-style Uno).

Beyond that, we had the greatest playground of all: nature herself. She was our playground, our mother, and our teacher—guiding us with her lessons, filling our days with adventure, and nurturing our spirits in ways no toy ever could. 🌿✨”

In Melanesian societies, smoking pipes have long been a symbol of tradition and community bonding. 🌿 From Papua New Guinea to the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, hand-carved bamboo and wooden pipes have been used in spiritual rituals and social gatherings for centuries. 🛖🎋

Here, women have long enjoyed equal participation in the smoking space. Unlike in many other regions where smoking was historically a male-dominated activity, in Melanesian communities, both men and women would smoke together during important gatherings or while sharing stories.

Both smoking pipes and chewing betel nut (buai) remain popular traditions, with women equally involved — often seen preparing and sharing it as a symbol of hospitality and social connection. 🌿🌺

Thank you and on expedition with .

📍 Discover the Marshall Bennett Islands, Papua New Guinea 🌊

Hidden in the blue expanse of the Solomon Sea, 150 km southeast of mainland Papua New Guinea, lie the Marshall Bennett Islands — a remote and breathtaking cluster of islands rich in culture and beauty. 🌺

✨ Here are some fascinating facts about this lesser-known paradise:

1️⃣ These islands include Gawa, Dugumenu, Iwa, and Kwaiawata, plus several smaller islets.

2️⃣ The local economy thrives on traditional fishing, gardening, and small-scale agriculture 🌾🐟 — a testament to their sustainable way of life.

3️⃣ The waters around these islands boast vibrant coral reefs and marine biodiversity, making them a hidden gem for eco-tourism enthusiasts 🐠🌊.

4️⃣ Access is limited — small boats are the only way to travel between these remote islands, offering a true off-the-beaten-path adventure 🚤🌴.

5️⃣ Named after Captain John Marshall, a British explorer who navigated the area in the 18th century 🛳️.

6️⃣ These islands are part of the Kula ring, a traditional trading network where communities exchange shell necklaces and armbands, creating strong social ties and cultural connections 📿🤝.

7️⃣ Rising sea levels are an ongoing concern, threatening the delicate balance of life here 🌍🌊.

8️⃣ The surrounding waters are teeming with fish, shellfish, and other sea life — vital for the community’s sustenance and economy 🦑🐚.

Beneath the polished hull of a S/Y Fidelis, two young boys caught in a fit of giggles, watching their reflections ripple and warp in the yacht’s mirrored surface. A moment of simple mischief, hidden in plain sight, under the bow of a giant.
