________________________________________________
Once upon a time not so long ago, there was a small island in the Philippines no sailor would dare venture to. Because despite it's beauty, Culion was known by many notorious names; The Island of The Living Dead, The Island of Pain, The Island of No Return.
The citizens of Culion were not criminals, but they were feared and they were prisoners, sentenced never to leave the island. And while times have changed, the story and the island are far from ancient history.
Beneath the tropical façade of a quaint fisherman’s village lies tales of an ancient disease, ingenuity and survival. A place so complex and curious that we simply couldn’t just sail by.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Things We're Most Curious About...
GETTING OFF-GRID
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
TALKING TO STRANGERS
People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment.
Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving.
ALTERNATIVE LIVING
These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

There are 3 KZfaq channels that feature 3 new boats, all finished late, and with a weekly uploads. While each has a different way of telling their story, this channel just seems to be constant in quality, with positive storytelling , no bad language or constant problems , it is just a good high quality production each and every week. So glad that your boat seems relatively trouble free too.

So many sailing channels don't bother to go ashore to experience the culture and meet the people, other than to shop for groceries or eat out at a restaurant. There's almost no interaction with the people who live there. So thanks for putting out videos like this one and the one on the cashew harvesting/production. A+

Have you ever sailed to another country. Cause if you have you would understand that when you do there is no chance you are not not fully introduced to that country.there culture and there people. Its just not possible. Just cause some don't feature this does not mean there not experiencing sailing around the world one country at a time.

In 1972, I was in the Air Force at Clark AB. working in what was commonly known as the junk yard. They say what is one man's trash is another man's treasure. There was an Irish Nun who ran the school at the lepers colony that would occasionally visit and I always felt disappointed that I cold not do more to help her. One day we received some property that I immediately knew where it would go. I didn't think anyone would claim it, but to be sure, I hid it in a warehouse until the Nun returned. The property was one piece school chairs. When she saw them she was so grateful and I was very happy I had found something so useful for her. I will always have the utmost respect for that lady.

The story of the cashews and the one about this island are what make the Wynns so entertaining. My wife is a Filipina and came to the US at 13. She is now in her 70's and only had a short exposure to her native country. Having only visited the Philippines once, I have really enjoyed these videos. The in depth stories of the places the Wynns visit is what makes their channel the best. Here's hoping for more great content.

If episodes like THIS doesn't get you to a million subscribers then we're living on the wrong planet! One day, there's going to be history books and YOU TWO are gonna be in it!

Has anyone ever seen the iconic parallel between your trip sailing around the world and financing it with tales of your voyages as did Slocum in his book, "Sailing Alone Around the World" in the 1890s where he too told the tales of his journey to help finance his travels?

I have heard and seen many beautiful Philippine Islands but this is the first time I know about Culion and it is so touching that only a heart of stone would not feel the loneliness of a leper colony. Yet the enthusiasm of the Filipinos outshone the sadness and created a vibrant community that vibrates to this day. Thank you. You made this FILAM very proud.

Something about this episode touched me and I began to cry. Perhaps it was the things you talked about at the end - the little pills that stopped the disfigurement, the joy of your guide despite some family having been on the "other side," and how medical advances are changing lives. An amazing episode! I loved the recap on deck.

As a long time follower (early van days), I value each post and appreciate you both for always bringing us the world through your experienced eyes. Your ability and passion for bringing us closer to each place you explore I find so enriches my perspective of our planet. This post moved me so much. The strength of that community through many bleak and terrifying times to then persevering to create a loving place to call home, gives such hope to all of us that battle whatever life's challenges put in our paths. Thank you for the compassionate lens through which you engage wherever you may be. I am always grateful for your insight and embracing of people and their lived experiences with dignity, respect, humor and always recognizing that deep down we have the same dreams and hope for our shared planet.Sending love from CT,USA, Ellen

I can imagine someone on that island years ago saying there would be no Leparsy someday. And then that day came. Great video, guys. Thank you very much. By the way, love the new boat. Congrats.

The presentation, the Filipino guide, the videography and the editing to make a complex story line so concise but filled with empathy and positive emotion. You managed to beautifully communicate the tragedy and incredible impact of leprosy on so many lives; the uniqueness of this special colony; the hero nuns who cared for the infected; the miraculous transition after the medical breakthroughs; and the wonderful place that Culion has now become. Thank you so much for bringing this incredible story to us. Best wishes on your travels.

A gift you have that I think sets your explorations and story-telling apart is how open you are to listening and understanding on their own terms, so to speak. It would be very difficult for me to take in histories like this without thinking of the historical context (of the disease, the culture, the outside forces, etc.). Each community is unique, has its own ethos and flavor - and I so much appreciate how you convey that.

The depth of showing us and convicting us how we can live our lives today. In the middle of tough times we can have joy if your eyes are not focused on self but each other. Working to better each other in education, implying what we have right now to help each other in faith, hope and joy and how it can be fulfilling and healing in our own lives.

Dear Nikki and J, we watch regularly from NYC and we own land on Pujada Bay, Philippines. We enjoy your channel so very much and appreciate how the both of you embrace the culture and absorb the true colors of every story those around you share. The manner in which you participate in the lives of those you meet is absolutely touching and we admire you both for the respect and dignity you share with those you make your friends. Your episodes are the best in all of the sailing world because you never complain, you push through. You both are such a blessing to watch and we want to convey our love and thanks to you both. My wife is from Mindanao. One day if we build a dock in Pujada, (Possibly 2027, we would love to invite you to our humble home. We have friends who own a dock there.

How absolutely beauitful this islands story was! I think the islands history can be extremely valuable knowledge for us today. There is so much we can learn from these peoples past and how they not just survived but thrived in the long run. The United States could learn from this islands history and completely change the way we treat our prisoners. I believe the reason we have such high numbers of repeat offenders is because our prisoners are dehumanized and institutionalized mentally. They either forget or never learn how to be a part of a healthy thriving comunity. The epidemic of addiction and private for-profit prisons are equally responsible for repeat offender rates remaining high. The goal of any corporation is to increase profits and grow. Prisons shouldn't be corporations. Most all prisons should be rehabilitation and education centers. I just love the videos you two do! Such a great job you did at capturing the soul, the heart and the living history of this island! Thank you so much for this. 💙

Having watched your videos over the last couple of years, something that strikes me is that each viewing always leaves me with a nice feeling of positivity. Not airy-fairy positivity, but a positivity displayed through how you both react to challenges, or how you appreciate the positive side of whatever experience you portray in the video I happen to be watching. I don't like to seem over-dramatic, but I truly believe the kind of content you create is a good (yes, GOOD: value judgement intended!) influence on society. Keep it up!

Nickie, Jason I am not in the market for a boat. But if I was I love your boat. I would want one just like that. It looks beautiful while sailing. It also looks comfortable to live in.

Getting " beyond Leprosy" was the attitude change that Cullon needed, Hope, renewal, changed perceptions, "The Wynn's are ambassadors of change|, be the change that you are lead to be Wynn's, pretty much that simple, sometimes simple isn't easy, but certainly doable with love and compassion. The wind of change, changed the " Wynn's" the greatest blessing you could ever receive.

Nikki and Jason, you should get a sun drying box for preserving extra fruit. I just started drying mangoes. And salted mangoes. You guys are stars.

If big pharma was around in the 40’s it’s a safe bet that only a managing treatment would have been offered. As there is no real money in curing diseases. This isn’t an anti-government rant or political rhetoric, it’s just a real description of the world today. All that aside, thank you Nikki and Jason for bringing this part of history alive for all of us to see. Great episode!

"Perverse motivation" is built into many systems. Seeking to maximize profit can lead to what you describe. Removing the profit motive from medical care could be a way to reduce this "perverse motivation". No one insists that the Fire Department must make a profit or be shut down. It is something that we want as a part of our society, so we fund it. Medical care should be no different.
