Title – Men’s House
Date – September 1998
Location - Yap - Micronesia
Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia is one of the most traditional countries of the South Pacific. The men’s house found in every village is a meeting place for the elders and a rest place for visitors from other villages. Exclusively the domain of men; women are not welcome in the house, unless specifically invited to take part in an important discussion on village matters.
The islands traditions remain very important and many people still use the grass skirt as normal day-to-day dress. With a people as friendly as anywhere in the pacific, this quiet little island is a jewel in a very blue sea.
Beyond The Blue offers individuals the opportunity to attend our workshops that help them prepare for travel anywhere in the world. For candidates taking part in our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop we provide them with Destination Advice and Cultural Awareness information for the countries they plan to visit.
