🇫🇯 Fiji - The Lazy Island Paradise Truman Always Dreamed Of!

Thanks to my dad, I discovered this hidden gem in the South Pacific—Fiji, a tropical paradise northeast of New Zealand (just a 3-hour flight from NZ!). ✈️ First Impressions Landed in Nadi (NAN) via Fiji Airways 🛬 Capital: Suva (SUVA) 🏙️ Diver’s Heaven 🤿: Perfect for getting your OW certification or even bull shark diving! 🌊 Fiji’s "Jellyfish Sea" My first ocean dive was here—the water is so clear, it’s like swimming in a natural infinity pool! 💙 🛍️ Souvenirs & Local Treasures Jack’s of Fiji: Cute keychains & fridge magnets 🗝️ PURE FIJI (Fiji’s national skincare brand): Handmade soaps 🧼 & Starfruit-scented lotion (my fave!) Buy at Prouds (tax refund for tourists over 500 FJD) or duty-free at the airport ✈️ Local Secret: Factory outlet in Suva (open Sat 9AM-1PM, with discounts!) 💧 FIJI WATER - The "Hermès of Bottled Water" Silky-smooth, ultra-pure… but pricey! 💸 🚌 Local Life Buses require a transport card (no cash! 💳) Vibrant markets with fresh tropical fruits 🍍 "Fiji Time" ⏳: Where everything moves slowly... and that’s okay! #FijiTime #PacificParadise #DiveIntoFiji #IslandVibes
