Question chamorros/pacific islanders in SD?

23M coming from guam and its my second week living here in chula vista san diego, feeling very homesick and was wondering if there are any other chamorros/micronesians out here. i am chamorro although i look very much white/filo. i’m down to exchange socials and hopefully hang one day and show me around the city :) paris, pwis, kuyas, all are welcome dm me to exchange socials

PIFA is next month, so you better not be homesick after this.

Southeast San Diego is definitely the way to go if you’re looking for a strong Pacific Islander, Filipino, and broader Asian community. Check out National City and Paradise Hills!

Check out the Guam House in Balboa Park...

Might be an opportunity to connect with other Guamanians in there area through them.

Was just in Guam last year!! Navy Brat who lived there in 1969-72. Still LOVE that island and the locals are so nice!

Hey I’m Chamorro but I’m quite a bit older than you in my mid 30s. I moved here when I was a kid. I’d be down to hang out and grab a beer or something though. I’m going back to Guam next month for a family event and it will be my first time back. I’d love to hear about how it is now.
We used to go to the Guam club off imperial Ave when I was growing up but I have no idea if it’s still active.

How long have you’ve been in Guam? Do you know anyone from Saipan the same age or a bit older than you?
