When my trip to Papua New Guinea was approved to happen, I honestly had no idea what to expect.

The first things that came to mind were tribes painted and dressed in traditional wear, and climbing through thick jungles. Since I was there as an ambassador to an NGO, I also expected to be mostly in meetings. I subconsciously hoped there would be some nice beaches, but since I hadn’t seen much posted about that, I didn’t think much about it.

Then, after meeting with the team members at @pngtribalfoundation, and hearing how they’re helping others, and what kind of help I could do as an influencer, I was taken to Duke of York Islands, where my mind was absolutely blown, and my mission became clear!

Imagine me not knowing an island-hopping tour was planned, complete with an unexpected visit from a hundred dolphins!!

I remember thinking “THIS is what people need to see and think of when they hear ‘Papua New Guinea’, not ‘It’s Dangerous’”. And so here we are 🙂

Every country has danger and safety issues. You all probably know this already, but I’m more scared to be in USA than the majority of countries I go to, including PNG. So let’s stop associating Papua New Guinea with danger, and start to highlight its incredible beauty as well, shall we?

What countries have you visited that everyone said was dangerous and turned out to be incredible?

Also, fun fact! If you look closely, the kids where I was cliff jumping have mostly blond hair, and that is a common gene in this area of PNG! They also looked very concerned after I jumped since there was only a small clearing amongst the coral (prob the most “danger” I had the whole trip 🙈😂)

For difficult logistical purposes, I still only recommend going to PNG with an established company like PNG Tribal Foundation. More info on my blog!
