How many places have you visited around Fiji?
I have been to quite a few places, mostly on Viti Levu but would love to discover more of my beautiful country by visiting a lot more of the outer Islands.
What is the one place in visitors to?
Fiji you would take
Everywhere really – Fiji is so beautiful that you are bound to find a breathtaking experience wherever you go. I believe the true essence of Fiji is her people and allowing our visitors to know who we are and how we live is one of the biggest attractions. Even though I am Fijian and I believe many Fijians feel the same way, there are new places in Fiji that we go to and it takes our breath away.
What is your favourite place for coffee/ pie?
There are so many beautiful places here in Fiji and the options are endless and it wouldn’t be fair to just mention a few. I love my coffees here at Tropica Island Resort, and my all-time favourite will be at home in
Raiwai, with my parents and especially with mum’s, Eseta Edwards, homemade bakes.
What is your favourite backyard spot?
Hands down would be anywhere where there is water to swim! The hidden waterfalls along the Navua River, Namosi and of course the beautiful Fijian Sea waters especially in the Mamanuca area.
What is one place in Fiji that remains on your bucket list?
I would love to drive up the Nausori Highlands, swim with the Manta Rays in the Yasawa Group and to visit the Lau Group of Islands.
