In this video, I wanted to take the time to provide you with my personal understandings of what it is like living on Guam after just a few months.

I know it's difficult to judge Guam after the recent typhoon, especially since I wasn't here before it. I know that many things are a touchy situation and always have been. The goal of this video is to bring some things into the spotlight (even though some shift between the light and shadows) that way you (local or tourist) can understand what living here could be like.

My idea of this video is still to show appreciation towards Guam while making us all aware of the many things some like to hide away. We want a better and brighter future for the island, for locals, and for tourists. We want to have a quality life and enjoy the beauty of this Pacific Paradise.

There are many parties to be held accountable with such series of changes, but unfortunately our voices are never strong enough. Let's cross our fingers and hope that the path forward is of improvement and correct judgement.

I'd like to have an open discussion with you all. Tell me below: how do you feel about these things? Are there any other things that should be brought out from under the carpet? How do we tackle such situations?

And lastly, what do you love most about Guam?
