When new-found friends offer to give Jonathan a new tattoo, it’s a hard proposition to resist. Four children, several dogs, and one plucky chicken later, and Jono walked out with a trevally etching on his thigh.

Editor’s Note: Last year, photographer and writer Jess McGlothlin embarked on an exploratory trip to Samoa. Not to surf, but to fly-fish and live the island life on island time. Jess is one of our newest contributors. She’s gifted behind the lens (and the keyboard, for that matter). This restless traveler’s work is well worth exploring, and inspires in its own right.
