Explore Our Culture, Explore Our World
While change is inevitable and often wished upon, you’d be surprised that in our island home, ‘timelessness’ is considered a gift from above. How we live today is not very different than how our forefathers lived for untold generations before us… and we treasure this.
What to do in Fiji: Suva
While maybe an unexpected spot to stop, the Fijian urban way of life can be observed in the bustling and multicultural capital of Suva. It is known around the world that Fiji is home to some of the nicest and kindest people in the world, so why not visit the city for just that reason? Suva is a less visited tourist spot since getting there takes a couple hours in a bus or an hour’s airplane ride from the main international airport in Nadi. But for our clients interested in seeing the local culture in an urban atmosphere, it’s interesting to check out.
