Wait… I'm Going to Fiji?! A Dreamy Escape to Waya Island
Bula! 🌺 Welcome to Waya Island, located at the southern end of the Yasawa Islands archipelago in Fiji. If you're dreaming of a tropical paradise, away from the noise and cold weather-Fiji should be at the top of your list! 😊
Traveling to Fiji was definitely not on my radar this year. It's surreal to think that none of these incredible memories would exist if I hadn’t pushed myself to attend that Travel Expo-where I first learned about Fijian culture and, to my shock, won the biggest prize of my life! (Thank you @flyfijiairways ) I never win anything, so this was a total surprise! 😆 Did you know there are non-stop flights to Fiji from LAX and SFO multiple times a week?! You literally hop on a plane and wake up in paradise.
Planning the trip was one thing, but actually being here is a completely different experience.
This country has over 330 islands, and only about a third of them are inhabited. Getting around is an adventure itself-most travel between islands is done by boat. It’s the kind of journey where even the travel feels like part of the experience.
For a Type A traveler like me-who usually fills every day with activities-Fiji was a refreshing change. I had to slow down, take a breath, and just enjoy the laid-back vibe of Fiji Time.

I really enjoyed our trip so I wanted to make sure I follow through and make these memories “permanent” 🤭

    Just lately I find myself do not like 24-70 this focal length and I come across your video in 2024. I have decided to sell my Sigma 24-70 f2.8 and get my Sony 70-200 f2.8 GM II.

      @StephanieLin 12 днів тому

      :O Gasp! Honestly, the 24-70mm is still my most used lens. It's most versatile for most of the paid shoots I did this year but it might be because i have the 70-200 F4. The F4 is not enough for a lot of indoor shooting I had to do :( I'M ENVIOUS! But if possible you should keep both!! 😝
