Joyce McClure: I joined the Peace Corps as a Response Volunteer in August 2016 and traded the island of Manhattan for the island of Yap after a long career as a senior executive in marketing communications. The stories of companies and brands and the people behind them were my stock-in-trade for nearly 40 years, but today I am telling the stories of the people and culture of the Pacific Region and how they live in the modern world while maintaining their traditional way of life. The Peace Corps pulled out of Micronesia in 2018 but I stayed on and am now providing these and many other stories about the places I have lived and visited through the lens of both personal experience as well as interviews and observations. A regular contributor to the Pacific Island Times and other regional news media, my writing and photos have also appeared over the years in the New York Times, National Geographic.com/Travel, Verge, goworldtravel.com, Transitions Abroad, Wooden Canoe Magazine, Journal for Weavers, Spinners & Dyers, and many others. My passport is current and I am able to travel on a moment’s notice to cover news throughout the Pacific Region and beyond.
