Need a break? How does the prospect of sipping from a freshly cracked coconut and lounging around on the beach of a quiet, pristine lagoon in the middle of the South Pacific sound to you? Ladies and gentlemen … tamaʻitaʻi and alii … I give you: Samoa!
I’ve just gotten back from a visit to this tropical island paradise. The laid-back lifestyle, dramatic coastline, endless opportunities to get wet in scenic locations, warm weather, and equally warm welcome of the Samoans all completely blew me away. I don’t think I was quite ready for just how wonderful my time there turned out to be. I certainly wasn’t ready to come back home (and to the onset of winter!).
Does Samoa sound like an ideal getaway to you? Here’s some general info about this tiny island nation alongside a few highlights from my trip to help you start planning your own vacation in Samoa – the Pearl of the Pacific.
