What are your hobbies or passions?

My work is my passion.

While I do enjoy socialisin­g, you’d find me on my laptop after working hours to sort of my work for the next day.

I also enjoy walking or training with my dogs. I involve myself with a lot of social work as well.

How many places in have you been to?

I have lived here for 30 years, so I can say almost all of it.

What is the one place you would take every visitor to, and why?

I would take my visitors to any rural setting, so that they could experience the authentic Fijian lifestyle.

Especially so they can experience the lovely authentic Fijian cuisine.

What is your favourite place for a pie/ coffee?

Fiji

O f course, Portside Coffee.

Here, we use homemade recipes and provide a pleasant atmosphere for any coffee lover.

The prices are also reasonable keeping COVID-19 and the delicate economic situation in mind.

What is your backyard spot? What is the one spot in Fiji that is on the top of your bucket list?

Kokomo Private Island Resort.

It is an exclusive private island resort so I want to experience what it has to offer.

Northern Club.

I am also part of its committee. Northern Club is welcoming, and basically welcomes any new members as its family.

We also have activities such as swimming, squash, tennis, and we celebrate events when the situation allows us to.

It is homely, warm, and welcoming.
