I left when i was 14. I'm 36 now and still have yet to go back. The older i get the more ifeel the island calling me home. The one thing i miss the most that probably will surprise some people is the smell of the air. It was the biggest noticeable difference to me when i moved to the states. Air quality.

Dani, I just found your channel and have been enjoying you videos in anticipation to my visit in April. I too was born in Guam in 1951 when my father was stationed there, however we were transferred a year or so later also to Norfolk, VA, which is where I grew up. Married a military guy myself and he retired in 1995, we are hoping to catch a military hop out of SeaTac next month for my first visit since I left, wish me luck!!

I lived in Guam as a teenager from 1982-1986 and was HEAVILY involved in diving. I then moved to Washington DC and immediatly got depressed from the lack of sunshine. Guam beach/water/sun got deep into my psychology and DNA and without it, I felt depressed in the winters. Thankfully, I moved to south Florida and was cured. But, I will always remember the great times that Guam gave me. It will always have a place in my heart. Hafa Adai!!

Pancit is everywhere; nearly any Filipino restaurant has it. Going to Filipino spots is the closest you'll get to feeling like you're back in Guam. One of the weird things I miss from Guam is Jamaican Grill. It's weird because there's plenty of authentic Jamaican food here but JG's is sooo much more flavorful, esp when paired with finadenne and red rice. Also, I've spotted some coconut porters in Total Wine.
