What Is One Spot in Fiji You Would Take Visitors To, And Why?
Taveuni.

White sandy beaches, Bouma and Lavena waterfalls, Waitavala Waterslide – to name a few.

More important are the people and the lifestyle offered on the island – humble and always welcoming.

In saying that, I love visiting various coffee shops in Fiji for a latte.

Barbeque with my team or friends over a game of Monopoly or deck of cards, either at home or elsewhere.

Sometimes, we travel to Wainadoi for a swim.

A beach in the Yasawa island group.

The Yasawas.
