Lovely Pola Island
The Pic of the Week is drawn from photos submitted to the Solo Travel Society Facebook Group, providing an opportunity for solo travelers to share with us a favorite photo from their travels.
This week’s photo was shared with us by STS member Brad, who recently visited American Samoa after having lived there as a child. “This is Pola Island, part of the beautiful South Pacific US Territory of American Samoa. We lived there over 50 years ago in a remote village called Afono, very near this spot. Although a lot may have changed there in a half-century, the beauty remains.”
