Ategotena (meaning greetings in my tokples)

Welcome to my blog site....My name is Ethel Paine and I originally come from Begabari Village in the North Coast area of Oro Province in Papua New Guinea. Born and raised in a tiny family village called Deu where forests, creeks and rivers were a playground for me as a kid , I naturally developed my sense of adventure and the likings of nature.

My sense of adventure and curiosity has seen me travel extensively in my home land Papua New Guinea and Internationally. In my blogsite you will find the stories of my travel/ adventure experiences and stories from my nasi ( Village).
