Fiji and Cook Islands - Destinations somewhere out there

In and around Oceania

Travelling to some of the South Pacific Islands has been a lifelong dream. While studying in Australia I thought I would never get that close again to the more accessible of these islands. My best friend back in Germany, whom I had not seen for a while, shared the same passion and that is why we decided to meet up in Sydney and start our South Pacific journey from there. As time was limited we choose Fiji and the Cook Islands as our featured destinations.
