CP Trips Travel Tips and Tales: Say “Bula!” to Fiji

Have you ever had a dream of really getting away from it all and escaping to a tropical paradise where you can simply relax on a pristine beach with vibrant waves of teal blue water all around you? Have you ever pictured yourself amongst palm trees and breezes on a secluded island with your door just steps away from a lagoon? There is such a place as this, and you can find it in Fiji. You can also experience the incredible happiness and kindness of the people of Fiji and their “Bula!” approach to life.

Located in the heart of the South Pacific, Fiji has 333 tropical islands of peace and happiness. The island spirit is expressed best with the word “Bula!” This is the Fijian word for greetings and blessings, similar to Aloha in Hawaii. Where ever you go in Fiji, you will meet some the warmest, friendliest people on the planet, and always be welcomed in great Bula! fashion.

Fiji is a top place to visit for eco-tourism with its pristine natural areas, white sandy beaches and soft coral diving. There are mountainous garden villages,

waterfall treks, and therapeutic mud-pools and hot-springs waiting for you to come and enjoy. There are also International Volunteer HQ (IVHQ) programs on Fiji where you can directly help make a difference, with turtle conversation and organic farming being two of main project areas where volunteers are always needed and more especially welcomed.
