Guam was occupied for thousands of years before that lost sailor set food on this island. As one born and raised on Guam and a longtime journalist, mostly with the Pacific Daily News — I find your words simply … beautiful.
Thank you for taking the time to educate others. We are a military family who lived on guam for just under 2 yrs. I loved being ten minutes from a beach, almost any where you live on the island I loved the boonie stomping, the boonie peppers oh yeah…. We were made to feel welcome and as I became a citizen in Guam, I consider myself an honorary Guamanian. In the for years we were there, I never saw a brown tree snake, lots of geckos and monitor lizards but no snakes.

Thanks for sharing there beautiful pictures with us! The only place you can find over 20 different versions of Spam in the grocery store! Those are common questions, but how many of those people have ever thought you actually meant Guatemala? We are truly kindred spirits because I share the same philosophy…I want to see the world before I leave it!!! I really enjoyed your article and have been asked all those questions too…I, too, was born in the Philippines but grew up on Guam since I was 4 months old until Lived in Oregon, Hawaii, Texas, and Oklahoma. Currently my husband daughter 13 and son 11 are traveling across the U.
California to Florida …Dreams do come true. We just have to perceive, believe and achieve!!! As natives of Guam, my husband and I always talk about how we took the island for granted. As my husband calls it. I so miss the smell of rain on the island or the comfort food you get ready to eat during a typhoon. Champolado and mason biskuchu…. Will be sharing this. I miss if SO. I remember when K-mart first opened, and there were people that camped out waiting in line.
LOL I also have had people ask me, what kind of money does Guam use? I enjoyed this post of yours about the misconceptions. It made me chuckle. Not to mention fun poking jokes such as what brand of coffee do we drink — Maxwell Hut! I have to admit that I did not know about Guam. It looks absolutely gorgeous over there, a paradise.
Love the photos and very interesting explanation thanks. Hi Mary, such an interesting read about Guam. It sounds like a nice place to live — small but beautiful, developed but still laid back. Thanks for introducing your Guam to us.
Have you heard of or been to Guam? Any other misconceptions?
I look forward to read about your recent visit. Wow Mary, very interesting! Would love to visit one day. Is it an expensive place to visit as a tourist? Is there backpacker accommodation? Lots of changes since then! We have been lucky enough to live on Guam a few different times, beginning in and still go for visits. It is indeed a very special place and your article captured many of the wonderful things about it and brought back many of our wonderful memories.
Who knew the SPAM capital of the world would be so beautiful?!

I learnt a lot from this article Mary, you must have so many wonderful childhood memories growing up in a place that has such vivid nature, and going back there must have brought many of them back. Glad you learned a bit about Guam. We lived there from We lived on the Navy Base. My dad was on a Ship. I had the best time there.
Glad to bring you back to that special time in your life. Hope you get back to Guam soon. I lived in Guam for a brief period of three years. Being a second home to me Guam made my stay very memorable. How can one forget the cherished memories. Love the post Mary! Eata -Aaron site below. Even still, Guam has some good points, too. And Guam is home to the best burger in the world, found at Meskla Dos.
Try one—your mouth will thank you. I was on Guam during my Navy days. Guam is a shithole. Women are treated like cattle and the sex slave trade exists openly. Cops are on the take. Truly fresh food is only available at the very expensive Tumon Bay hotels. I am in the military and have traveled abroad and have seen some real disgusting places.
I usually hear nasty comments from those who are in the service …such a sad way to represent. It is true there are, like any place on earth, good AND bad things about Guam—we certainly saw both during our 3-year tour. We chose to focus on what was good about Guam and, after some occasionally difficult adjustment, fell in love with this tiny island and her friendly and welcoming people. I would move back in a heartbeat…. Please continue to update this piece. If you do, I would love to have a copy to share here in Ecuador where two Chamorros are residing now.
Thank you for clearing the record about Guam.

I am from Guam. I toltally enjoyed everything you mentioned here on this site. I have experienced having to respond or answer to these misconceptions as well and oddly as it sounds it is very difficult to tell the story and paint a good picture at the same time.
But they surely believe me afterwards. Great site and you nailed it answering these curiosities that people have about The island of Guam. I would love to go back to visit, I probably would not recognize the place now. It was a nice beautiful island then, I had a lot of friends there.. Well said, you have given a wonderful example of the little Paradise that I once belong too. I hope to one day return and visit. Thank you for the reminder of home. D Just passing a little Chamorro pride around the world. But it has to be the worst story about Guam there is!
Loved your pics and comments. Was there 69 to 71, loved it when I was there but at the time I was glad when it was my time to leave , but now I would love to go back and visit.

I did a lot of snorkeling, diving, and hiking and the island is stunning. The one thing that surprised me was the amount of litter, especially in natural areas. Loved It , your story sounds like me telling it!!! People still ask many questions when they find out I grew up there. The funniest was did I know what McDonalds was?

I lived on Guam from to , not military, I worked at a resort, I loved my job and the island, I met my best friend their which is a Chamorro she is a native, I have not seen her for 23 years, although we stay in contact, I would give anything to be back on the beautiful island of Guam, I have seen the brown snakes, been through typhoons and been to beautiful areas of Guam, would love to retire there, thank you for bringing back memories, waiting to see more!!
