Our rhythm. Our pride. Our story. 🌊

Why chase waterfalls when they’re in your backyard?
Sometimes, you don’t need to go far to find beauty — you just need to open your eyes to home. 🌊

They say dragons are only found in myths…
But in Pohnpei — they’re real. 🐉🌊

Not the kind that fly through the sky,
but the ones that move through water.

In Pohnpei, we call them family.
The Great Eel Clan — Lasialap — traces its bloodline back to these beings.
We do not eat them, for they are our ancestors.

In the ruins of Nan Madol, the sacred eel Nan Samol was fed by high priests.
When the eel accepted the offering, it meant the gods had spoken.

In Pwudoi, families still feed giant eels by hand —
not as pets, but as relatives.

And in the old stories, an eel gave birth to the founders of our clans…
Her body became a mountain.
Her spirit — the current that never dies.

Across the Pacific, the eel appears again and again —
a god, a trickster, a guardian.
In Samoa, from an eel’s head grew the first coconut tree.
In Kiribati, the eel god Riiki pushed the sky to its height.

So when you see the water ripple in Pohnpei,
and something stirs beneath —
remember… not all dragons breathe fire.
Some swim.
Some remember.
Some still call us family. 🌺

📍: Pohnpei - Micronesia

Micronesia — a constellation of islands scattered across millions of miles of the Pacific Ocean. 🌊
Home to cultures that have thrived for thousands of years, guided by stars, waves, and wisdom passed down through generations.
Protectors of the largest ocean in the world.
Carriers of stories older than time. 🌺
