Studying Abroad in Fiji 2016

I spent a little under 5 months in Fiji this past fall semester and I don't think there's any better way to show everyone what went on then to try to fit hours worth of footage in 5 minutes. Here's the answer to some of the questions I've gotten since being back in the states: - Fiji is a chain of about 300 islands located in the Pacific Ocean. The countries in closest proximity are Australia and New Zealand. - The national languages are English and Fijian. - Fiji's white sand beaches and crystal clear, blue waters attracts a giant number of tourists every year. - The university I attended, The University of the South Pacific, is located in the capitol city, Suva, and is the home to students from countries all over the Pacific and other island nations. - The culture, some say, is similar to Hawaiian Indigenous culture. Villages still play a vital role in the country's society as a whole. Bonus discoveries I made while living there: - Free wifi is not a right, it's a privilege. - Don't underestimate the debilitating affects of diarrhea. - Fijians are some of the nicest (women primarily) and some of the most annoying (men primarily) people you will ever meet. - Some things like homemade crafts and local produce are dirt cheap, but other things like nutella and chocolate cost an arm and a leg. - Nothing ever gets fully dry because the humidity is choking. - Mosquitos, frogs, and lizards; you can't live with them, you can't live without them. I could go on and on, but if you have a travel bucket list, whether your an adult or student or anything in between, make sure you put Fiji on there because it's truly an experience of a life time. P.S. I also went to New Zealand for mid semester break with my roommates. I only have 12 words about NZ: GO, WHETHER ITS TOMORROW IN A YEAR OR 50 YEARS, JUST GO.
