Most people think I’m living on the Instagram side of Fiji with tropical, sandy beaches but, in reality, Suva is a typical city with traffic jams, markets and a busy fishing port. To my surprise, the closest beach to Suva is an hour’s drive away in Pacific Harbour.
The reality of how vulnerable the Pacific is to extreme weather is never too far away. When I have been snorkelling above the most colourful coral reefs, I too often come across bleached corals, which are dead or damaged. This is as a result of more frequent cyclones and natural disasters.Although, thankfully since arriving I have not experienced any major cyclones in Fiji.
Tuvalu is a unique place, being one of the world’s most remote and least-visited countries. There are only three flights into the country a week direct from Suva, Fiji. Outside of the flight times, the runway in Funafuti is used as a multipurpose social space with roads weaving in and around it.
