Tasi is a farmer from the Aleipata region. He’s the SWAP team’s constant companion teaching tourists how to climb a coconut tree and then doing it himself when they fail to learn. (And they always fail!) He’s tried teaching them how to husk a coconut but he seems to fail at that teaching job too! No matter, he knows the south coast like the back of his hand and is great value laughing away all day telling us and showing us things we never knew. Our guests love him! We do too, but don’t tell him that in case he gets a big head. Tasi means "Number 1". We thought he was pointing in all the photos we took of him but in fact his ego was just getting in the way – big smile for the camera; one finger pointing at something; oh so he thinks he’s number one then eh, does he?
Force is a force to be reckoned with. The largest baby to be born in Samoa at the time (don’t ask or tell, but he was over a dozen pounds they say), he’s played rugby, boxing and other sports. He’s our resident bodyguard and the bosses constant companion. While he can look the scariest thing under the sun, he’s actually a gentle giant when you get to know him. He translates for us on our various travels and journeys. He’s more like a brother actually! He doesn’t actually DO anything but then he doesn’t actually have a JOB either, nor does he want anything or get paid, so all’s fair,
