What is one place in Fiji you would take visitors to, and why?
A five-day hike across the highlands through Nabalesere, Mt Tomanivi, Nubutautau, through to Navala,
with a stay at Bulou’s Lodge.
I made this trip once with Talanoa Treks.
I would love to do it again with friends.
The trip breaks away from the daily hustle and bustle of daily lives.
They offer the opportunity to see how beautiful the country is, with hidden secrets in the highland.
What is your favourite place for a pie or coffee, and why?
I love my coffee.
I don’t have a particular spot for coffee and pie.
Any coffee or pie shop will do. As long as I have some good company to share a laugh or two, I will be fine..
What is your favourite secret backyard spot?
I enjoy sitting on the porch at home in Laucala Bay, to look over the park, where people play.
The spot was better a few years back, as we had a nice view.
Recent developments have hindered that view.
It is a quiet private place where I can be one with my thoughts.
What is one place in Fiji on the top of your bucket list, and why?
Navala is a village located in the Ba Highlands of North Central Fiji.
The village is widely popular for its thatched buildings.
