Culture Accommodation help. I don't have family in Samoa anymore but I want to experience fa'asamoa.

9 Upvotes

I'm Samoan but grew up away from the culture and I'm heading to Samoa for the first time. I want to learn about fa'asamoa so I really don't want to stay in tourist accommodation. I have distant family there but the only contact I have hasn't been replying so i'm wondering what my other options are. I have been looking at homestays as an option but i'm wondering what else I could do.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Would really appreciate any thoughts.

5 Upvotes

I'm visiting in a couple of months to your beautiful country, buf a wisdom tooth ahs started coming through and I've already had 2 removed. So, I'm slightly concerned

Is there anywhere I could have it removed if anything was to go wrong with it coming through?
