I’m in Tahiti now and in preparation I started reading Sea People [1] which explores Polynesian culture and the westerner discovery of it. It’s a truly incredible story, most of which I never knew. Highly recommend the read, and doing so with a map handy.

Hopefully you’re getting off Tahiti and to some of the islands for some of your trip?

A late reply because I wasn’t really online. We went to Huahine, Bora Bora and Moorea. What a trip!
