About Us
Are you an American who can work from anywhere?
If so, why not spend a few months doing your job in a place where the confluence of ocean, land, climate and culture affords an incredible quality of life, one filled with beauty, inspiration, and adventure?
My wife and I are doing so with our 9-year old son and 5-year old daughter. We came to Tahiti from the San Francisco Bay Area in August 2020 to evade wildfires and remote schooling. Now, our kids are thriving in an international school on the lagoon in Tahiti while we do Zoom calls from a house overlooking the majestic island of Mo’orea.
In creating this ebook, my intention is to make it easy for you to get the info you need to taste the sublime reality of living amidst the fabled islands of French Polynesia.
Like Paris?
You’ll Love French Polynesia
Imagine if you could combine Paris with Hawaii. That gives you a sense of what Tahiti is like: native Polynesians, French people, boulangeries, hip restaurants, amidst a lush, mountainous setting, with shimmering turquoise waters, and a warm, laidback culture.
Why Tahiti?
