Fiji, South Pacific
There’s something about that first step off the plane in Fiji — the warmth of the air, the sound of laughter, and that signature “Bula!” that greets you from every direction. It instantly wraps you in island spirit and sets the tone for the adventures ahead.
I started my South Pacific journey on the Coral Coast, where palm-lined beaches and turquoise lagoons begged for slow mornings and spontaneous swims. Snorkelling off the reef was like diving into a living kaleidoscope — corals in soft pastels, curious fish darting in every direction, and that hush you only find underwater.
From there, I headed to the Mamanuca Islands, a cluster of tiny gems just off the mainland. Think hammocks strung between palms, sunsets that turn the ocean gold, and meals of fresh-caught seafood right on the sand. But it’s the Fijian people who make it unforgettable — their smiles, stories, and genuine warmth make every traveler feel like family.
Fiji is more than a destination — it’s a feeling.
