22 and in need of a life

11 years ago

hi, my name is Sean. i am from the US and i have dreamed about living somewhere tropical and getting away from the grind of a 'normal' life here in the states. surfing is also a must for my new home.(ive never surfed but i literally dream about it every single night). I just need to remove myself from this toxic, dying environment before i become a zombie like everyone else. after some research i have decided on fiji. i cant think of the city name off the top of my head but it starts with a s and its not suva. It is said to have an ok sized expat community and low crime rate. i am 22 years old, my plan is to sell all that i can, buy a one way ticket and hope for the best. i am looking for any advice on where is the best place to live, be it in fiji or not, how much money i will need, how bad crime is. i have never don this before haha so im just looking for any insight. NOTE: if u live in fiji and need a roommate, or have anywhere safe i can stay for a little bit, just long enough for me to get my bearings after i move. it does not even have to be inside, i just need somewhere i know is safe where i can lay my head. i am going to try to bring a tent so like i said, outside is cool haha. please help me out. this is by no means a joke. i am planning on arriving in suva fiji around january 20, 2013. please, any help would be extremely welcomed!!
Thanks with love,
-Sean
