People ask why Saipan? Why not Guam? Join me on a quick run to Guam to take care of some personal business, and I’ll share a few of the travel costs and offer another point of comparison between the two islands!

Subscriber Michael D is considering moving to Saipan from the states and wants to know if his favorite foods and other products are available here! Let’s help him discover the reality as we shop around Saipan!
Here’s how I typically combat laptop screen fatigue…Saipan style!
I’m not American. I’m NOT a US citizen. I don’t vote. I’m NOT “left wing” or “right wing,” conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republican. I have no ideological agenda to push. I’m not an activist. Here’s what I thought about the movie and the surrounding “controversy.”
[Saipan Living] Where are YOU at 6:00am on an average day? Well, I was testing my GoPro’s stabilization function during one of my early morning beach runs on Saipan, so I can improve future videos! Let me know what you think:
I recently dropped off a donation to the Saipan Humane Society in the name of Relic Hunter Fabian Indalecio (with special thanks to recent Saipan visitors, Jim & Barbara Foster).
While there, my friend, volunteer and animal-lover, Yumiko Naka Brundidge, stepped out of the operating room, saw me and invited me to observe a spaying being performed by Whitney Collins, a visiting, volunteer doctor from Missouri by way of Costa Rica. This impromptu interview gives a little insight into the stray dog/cat situation on Saipan, how you can help if this is something you care about, and how your donations of money and/or gifts to the organization are utilized. (Contact information is in the video description)
I’m not currently on Saipan! I’m doing the “Jamaican in China & Beyond” vegan/nomad/cheapskate thing and documenting it on my @askavegan channel! Right now, I’m in Cambodia getting swindled by an unscrupulous tuktuk driver! Follow/Subscribe to the channel to stay up to date with the fun!
2023 is, in fact, the Year of the Cat (if you’re in Vietnam; Rabbit for others)! So–as a “cat person” myself, perhaps it’s no coincidence that I found myself at the Saipan Cares for Animals “virtual shelter” run by Executive Director, Beth Pliscou, and her staff. While no longer operating as a shelter since relocating the facility, the clinic does provide, to members of the public, all the services the clinic once provided to their shelter animals, free of charge–if the citizen (the person who may have found the stray dog or cat) provides the shelter. Services include spaying, neutering and vaccinations.
Local celebrity and “relic hunter,” Fabian Indalecio has a warm spot for Saipan’s strays and neglected pets, and so encourages visitors (such as my tour clients who wish to contribute to his Battle of Saipan museum) to, instead, make those contributions to Saipan Cares for Animals.
In this short video, a recent tour client and I did just that and made a quick, but cuddly visit to the clinic on Middle Road….on the first floor of the green building…across from the Shell gas station…that’s next to First Hawaiian Bank! Watch until the end for a cuteness-overload!
