Anthony also discusses his travels throughout the Pacific and his approach to documenting the people, cultures, and history he encounters along the way.Beyond Peleliu, we discuss Anthony's experiences across the Pacific—including his time in American Samoa and travels to places such as Niihau—and how travel can create a deeper connection to history than photographs and maps alone can provide.Featuring: 🎥 Anthony Perez — Traveler, Filmmaker & Creator of A Perez VoyagesExplore Anthony's work:📸IG: @aperezvoyages🎥YouTube: A Perez Voyages ▶️Peleliu: Then and NowTALES FROM THE CORPS Real stories.
