Andy Schell tells Aussies and Kwis to get on over here!
Hi John,
I thought I would email you my view of Fiji.
Fiji is amazing.
I’ve traveled around the world and have never met nicer or more hospitable people than the Fijians. They truly make you feel like part of the family.
Walu Beach in particular was first-rate. It is an amazing location in a beautiful postcard-like setting with world-class surfing, tremendous snorkeling and fantastic food.
The staff at Walu Beach also truly make you feel at home.
As for the coup, it still feels like it’s as far away here as it was before I arrived, with the Fijians open about it and will discuss it at length with interested or nervous travelers.
I never once felt at all endangered.
Fiji is simply a fascinating country, with a wonderfully interesting history, genuine culture and the friendliest people on Earth.
I hope that helps get more Aussies and Kiwis coming here.
Andy Schell
