An travel newsletter, The Travel, describes American Samoa as “one of the most stunning and yet overlooked American territories and a great place to really experience the South Pacific. ”
Titled “10 Great Things to do in American Samoa, The forgotten US Territory,” the article is by Aaron Spray, a firsthand traveler who has visited more than 80 countries around the world.
