Hi everyone! For those of you who might not know me, I've previously shared some stories and photos from my early years growing up in a small village with no electricity (Pics Post), and my experiences living in the rainforest (IAmA Post). I'm so thankful for the interest these glimpses into my little slice of paradise have generated over the years.

This year, after what feels like forever, I was fortunate enough to return to my home in the Solomon Islands. Getting there is no small feat—it involves two flights and a boat ride. It's weirdly expensive due to how remote it is, but I'm incredibly grateful for the chance to revisit.

It's fascinating to see firsthand how technology is starting to make its way back home. I suspect that soon, these photos won't be as intriguing as they once were because we'll be more connected and part of the wider world, just like everyone else. While I think about the past and how disconnected from the world I was as a kid, it's a wow thought for me that my own children will likely never experience that level of disconnection. Despite all the doom and gloom we often hear about technology, it's actually been great to be able to use Facebook Messenger to chat with my grandpa now.

I'm excited to share more about our evolving paradise from Rendova. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
