Would you like to gain knowledge about a place you often wondered about or planning a trip for, but NOT interested in plowing through textbooks or commercialized brochures? Then this book is for you!
Guam, as a US Territory, has always been regarded as the gateway between America and the Asian-Pacific rim. It has long-held the moniker " Where America's Day Begins" due to its position beyond the International Date Line. It is the first place to step on "American soil" coming from the Oceanic region. But it's an America unlike the 49 contiguous states on the mainland. Guam offers awesome sand and surf locales in their beaches, pristine waterfalls, paradise views, deep blue waters, and that's just the beginning!
In Escape to Guam USA, you will gain insight from a proud native who will take you down a path of discovery where she shares:
- what it is like to be a Pacific Islander of Chamorro blood, despite unexpectedly moving away for many years and is now on a focused timeline for returning back to her birthplace for good
- The many roots of Guam ancestry influenced by historical eras of capture, survival, and freedom from their oppressors
- How and what events shaped the legends and folklore that continue to fascinate all who learn about them
- Why tourism to this little island continues to exponentially attract many foreigners from all corners of the earth
- True accounts of significant people, places in time and unforgettable memories that give you a sense of nostalgia mixed with light-hearted humor
- Why Guam's strategic location in the Pacific is too valuable for the United States to give up its territorial rights
- How Guam's native sons and daughters stay connected culturally despite being far from home overseas
If you are seeking to explore your next adventure whether mentally or physically or if you are a native, longing for a meaningful way to keep your spirits up until you can make that final journey home, then scroll up and click the buy button. Let's make this escape happen together!
