Faces of Fiji

By: Lesley Posted in: Destination, Fiji

Friendly Fijian Children

Fijians are known worldwide as the friendliest people, and I’d rate their friendliness as the number one impression I was left with during my visit. From children to elders, the beautiful spirit of the Fijian people shines as bright as the sun that they are blessed with. The most common Fijian word you hear will be Bula (pronounced as”Boo-lah”). This is the Fijian way of saying “Hello”. Whether they are singing, dancing or welcoming you to their home, the people of Fiji will do everything they can to make you feel relaxed, welcome, and awed by the beauty of their islands and their hearts.

Meet my new friends and family in Fiji…

    What a fabulous trip!

    The warmth & joy of those persons you met is almost palpable!

    One of the best things about traveling is the amazing people you met, they make you a better person!

    Love the photo of you skydiving! Wow, it must be quite an experience seeing the island and ocean from up there 😉

    Just took a look at the photos. They’re all really nice, but I especially liked that first one of you parachuting and the one of the blue fish on the second page. It’s a very rich color palette there. It would be hard to take a “bad” photo.

    Having visited Fiji myself many years ago it warms my heart to know the people are still just as happy and friendly. Their willingness to share from their hearts is something that has made me smile all these years whenever I think of Fiji. Thank you for sharing. If we could all take a page from the Fijians what a better world it would be!

    Thanks for sharing what island life gives the local folks. Sorry to be away so long. After our South Africa trip, we came right back into the holiday season and family visits. Now back to winter garden prep while the ground is frozen in the Appalachian Mountains.
