Fiji
The place where strangers welcome you like family.
The dart landed on Fiji. The place where strangers welcome you like family.
I arrived without a plan — surrendering control is the whole point of Travel by Dart — and let Fiji set its own pace. Oceania has a way of surprising me, and this journey was no exception: unfamiliar food, generous strangers, and the kind of moments you simply cannot script.
This is my short first take while I write the full story. Press play above to watch the adventure, and check back soon for the complete first-person account of everything the dart uncovered in Fiji.
Fiji: traveler questions
Is Fiji safe for travelers?＋
I filmed across Fiji using normal travel common sense and never felt I was taking a reckless risk. Like anywhere in Oceania, I stay aware of my surroundings and lean on trusted local guidance. I'll add specific, on-the-ground safety notes here once the full Fiji story is written.
When is the best time to visit Fiji?＋
I'll share the ideal months in the full Fiji write-up. As a rule I prefer shoulder seasons for thinner crowds and better value, and I plan around the local weather and any festivals worth timing a trip around.
What makes Fiji worth the trip?＋
The place where strangers welcome you like family. The best moments came from the unplanned turns the dart pushed me into. Watch the episode above for the highlights, and check back soon for my complete first-person guide to Fiji.
