I haven't been to Suva in years but when I was there I cried when I had to return to the US. The people were friendly and humble. I was invited to weddings and villages by taxi drivers and the people working at the hotel before the week was up. I felt incredibly safe. The natural beauty was outstanding. There was a plethora of things to do, the hiking, the incredibly friendly villagers , the snorkeling and the Indian food. I do not know if things have changed for the worst since that time but I

I have visited Noumea many times and have lived there a few months. It's got great climate, a good night life, it's a great place for families and it feels safe. There's a very active cultural scene (theatre, writers, musicians) and a huge variety of sports. The food is the best I got anywhere in the Pacific and their health system is top. A great place to learn some French, too!

2 years ago I chose to go Wanaka to see what it was like as it was recommended to me by my Kiwi friend who lives in Auckland. I looked at it on google maps and saw it was really small and thought it was boring so I booked a 3 day trip here. Oh my how wrong was I?! 3 days was not enough to do what’s here at all. I went skiing, checked out the town center and so much more! I was so hooked with this place and did not want to leave! I sadly had to. I am in love with this place and will definitely

I am a DN stationed in Honolulu, Hawai’i, and I recommend the Kuhio Banyan Club for those wishing to stay longer. It is centrally located in Waikiki, on Kuhio Ave. I also recommend buying the week pass for the Trolley Hawai’i because it has four lines, and although it works as a hop-on/hop-off tourist thing, it is very useful to get to the main places within the Central/ South Shores of O’ahu. Also, as they hire local drivers ( natives), you help the local community. Tip: Take the

The 'pandemic' changed many things -- the cost of course, but also the culture -- the freedom and liberty have been contained. The police presence and size of the state have grown -- definitely doesn't feel so relaxed anymore. It's also important to note here -- there is limited ambition. Most are looking for an easy, fun and peaceful life -- which is great, but if you are building something or running a business it can fee

However, the outer edges - such as the Jordaan district - are less busy and more interesting in my opinion. One thing that surprised me is how much trash was o
