Am from New Zealand & am tired of holidaying in Australia. I don't want to go to Asia so that only leaves the Pacific Islands re a cheap holiday as travelling further afield than Asia is very expensive for us. I don't have a boyfriend to travel with & my friends don't have the funds to come with me so I wondered about lazing around on the beach on my own. Perhaps that wouldn't be acceptable there? I might get unwanted male attention, or worse? When I say Pacific, I mean South Pacific so don't recommend Hawaii as it's too expensive re American dollars & the airfare. I'm meaning Islands more like Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, etc. I know Vanuatu is a bit more primitive so won't be safe for a female alone and Tahiti & New Caledonia are very expensive. er, Hello, I'm guessing you're American? Because only an American would confuse the Caribbean with the South Pacific!! Fiji is nowhere in the vicinity of Aruba!!!!! Totally different partos the world, totally different culture. Also don't call me sweetie, it's condescending & I happen to be in my late 30's & have travelled alone to many countries so I'm hardly naive. If I'm only chilling out on the beach then I don't care about going alone.... Read More »
