things I love about Fiji



  • most people are multi-lingual
  • goats!
  • metric system
  • open air showers (sometimes with hot water!)
  • such colorful money
  • variety in the landscape: grassy hills, ocean, mountains, all right beside each other
  • the temperature
  • everyone is laid back and flexible because everyone has to adapt to little inconveniences. All. The. Time.
  • fruit grows everywhere, no pesticides
  • spectacular moonlit starry sky (that's actually a really big thing)
  • nighttime walks on country roads through the hills looking up at said starry sky
  • freedom to wander, never a "no trespassing" sign 
  • weekly rainbows, no rain required
  • roads that dead-end into a beach
  • traditional Fijian music, the happiest sound ever
  • informal kava ceremonies
  • formal kava ceremonies
  • surprisingly few horrifying bugs
  • no poisonwood
  • no poison ivy
  • waking up each morning to the sound of goats and roosters (Note: not everyone loves this)
  • huge, beautiful mango trees
  • most commonly spoken word: Vinaka (thank you)
  • wearing sulus
  • authenticity
