Thoughts of “Bula” , “Namaste” and “Noaia”
coconut oil, coconut trees and cream
curry crab , lemon marinated fish,
laughter, grog, cheers of celebration,
coconut trees, sandy shores, smiles
ukelele, guitar strings
dreams
once were there
now a reality
of changes
stark misconceptions
twisted
dreams have struck
the islands of joy , once untouched
Daily struggles have enlarged
in the endless facades of life and
smiles.
Prepare your version of
reality in the untouched dream
of the isles.

Born in the Fiji Islands.
Fiji 🇫🇯 - my home, my heart, my soul.
I left my home many years ago and my heart is still there. I have learned so much of the world while living away from home and have actually learned more about myself and my home which I appreciate more each day. I realise the paradise isles are not the same as when I left home.I have idealised so much of what Fiji is in my mind and memories of having lived there.
I have a dose of reality each time I re-visit the real Fiji. Still, there are so many amazing moments, places and distinct life-stories, down to earth realities that only a real home instills in your heart and soul.
This site will attempt to share my experiences of living in Fiji, living away from Fiji and how I have viewed and still view the world and being in a new reality from the eyes of a Fijian.
Capturing glimpses of experiences along the journey of life. Europe - The Netherlands is my current home.
This is a place where I share words in poetry, prose and photos of where I have travelled; where I am and where and how I see life as it unfolds.
I hope to keep it updated...let's see how that goes!
Welcome, Bula (Fijian) & Noa'ia (Rotuman)!!!
