Micronesia Homestays (Kosrae & Pohnpei)Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Micronesia, Federated States of | ||
In February I'll have 4 days each on Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Chuuk. On Chuuk I have decided to stay at the TrukStopHotel already, but on Pohnpei or Kosrae I would prefer a homestay at least on one of the islands. I found a link and an email address online (kosrae@mail.fm, www.mymicronesia.com/kosrae/) but the link isn't working and nobody has replied to my emails. Based on what I know homestays on Kosrae definitely are an option, but oddly I cannot find anything on this doing searches online. (Maybe I'm just clumsy?!). Anyway, I'd really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction. Thanks! | ||
Hi, Have you checked out www.kosrae.com? I think that there is a pretty complete description of the homestay program. Grant Ismael is the Kosrae Visitors Bureau he's usually pretty good about messages. How long ago did you write? If you decide that you'd rather not do a home stay on Kosrae you can always come stay with us, Kosrae Village Ecolodge. Cheers, | 1 | |
Hi Katrina, Yes, I did check that website too and wrote to the email address mentioned. Do you know if that is the current one? I wrote two weeks ago. I took a look at the Ecolodge too and will probably end up staying there if no homestay materializes. I just really wish to get this kind of experience in at least one of the islands I'm visiting. Thanks for your help! Lucas | 2 | |
