Fiji Changed My Life!

Every night when the village would gather at grog time, I'd end up sitting near the band, listening (and eventually singing along) to my favorite song, Fiji. The line "Fiji is a life" will always remain with me. I feel that this simple phrase best embodies my experience. The overwhelming love, powerful sense of community and family, and complete disregard for the anxieties of the material, time-obsessed Western world were both stunning and refreshing to this ambitious American student. I will never forget the new "life" and perspective these Fijians gave me during my time in the village. Thank you Madventurer, and Naboutini, for changing my life. I'm homesick for my village already!
