10 days in Fiji

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Every time I see one of your new videos it's like seeing old friends. Best travel channel anywhere. ❤

[@Knowyourintent]

100% I don't watch any other travel vlogs since I discovered these two

[@ian_forbes]

You guys never fail to bring out the wonder and romanticism of travel and immersion into other cultures! Not to mention, you’re able to present so much beauty and information without having camera crews and huge expense budgets like mainstream TV travel shows. So impressive!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you so much 😭❤

[@janc9965]

Agree 100%, almost exactly what I was going to say! I just love the appreciation that you both have for everywhere in the world you go. By far "THE BEST" travel channel out there. Thank you for sharing your life and your travels with us all ❤❤

[@stevemunachen]

Guys, we waited a while for a new video and then you give us this absolute masterpiece. Thank you. One of your greatest videos you've ever shared.

[@curiousnomadic]

Yeah I think this was their best.

[@amesbabom]

I'm glad you guys had a more authentic experience in Fiji, honestly I've done the luxury hotels there and sometimes you don't feel like you really saw Fiji. The people of Fiji are so beautiful and friendly to everyone, I want to go back and have an experience more like this.

[@theexecutioner2664]

I’ve been to Fiji only once… and my goodness you make me realise how much I miss the wonderful Fijian hospitality, the amazing generosity, graciousness and fundamental goodness of their culture. From the warm, loving way they embrace children - whether theirs, or a those of a guest… to the genuine happiness and their desire to pass that happiness to others.

[@ShaneLongman]

Hi. I don't normally write comments but I had to this time for sure. I loved the new style. Your down to earth filming has now made me want to go to Fiji. I like to travel and see the 'real' people and country. You have done this in your film. Well done!

[@jennchestnut8527]

You both are a beautiful couple with an incredible gift for storytelling. How you don't have 1M subs is beyond me.

[@robe461]

Not just a travel blog. Immersive and highly interesting with thoughtful narration. A documentary no less. You two are gems. Come back to Australia and shine bright!

[@The_NomadNinja]

Bravo! This video captured the essence of island life in the Pacific. The longer format offered a more immersive experience, and the graphics were a nice touch. And, of course, those little kids were adorable.

[@Tonia1984]

I think this video is the best one yet. It seemed like it was filmed like a movie and I also loved the voice overs as well.

[@gjeess1]

Brilliant. Thank you both very much. I spent a week in Fiji at the start of August, I didn't want to leave because the place is stunning and the people are so friendly and warm.

[@jamesmarshall1339]

I've been to Fiji a number of times for work and family trips and honestly, you guys are doing it the right way. The resorts are flashy but unbelievably boring after the first day or two. Love your work guys. So much!!

[@DarrenFlanagan-v2e]

Missed the joy that you two guys bring to our month. Bula Vinaka and great to see you’ve met the love that is Fiji!

[@moniquedoherty8831]

Guys this was one amazing video. I was grinning from ear to ear the entire time. I am thrilled you went to Fiji. You both needed to unplug and relax. The people and the culture changes you. It's the Essence of stop and smell the roses. story telling at its finest. Now your ready for your next adventure after your reset of peace and tranquillity

[@leighharkness7836]

Thank you for your informative video on Fiji. You captured many aspects of Pacific Island life such as the delays (Pacific time), the inter-island ferries, the outboard motor boats, the electricity issues, the water supply and plumbing, the isolation, the phonetic spelling, the joyful children, the help from a friend of a friend, the local markets, the goodwill towards foreigners, the difficulty in getting supplies, the mosquitoes, the refreshing sea breeze, the humid heat, etc. It was a delight and brought back many memories.

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you. You bring your unique take to every place you visit. You make the world a happy place.

[@vignettesdevoyage]

I love the peaceful pace. Your videos don't just flash the highlights, they conjure the actual feeling of travelling and of the place itself. There is a genuine and honest documentation of your personal experience, and although it is uniquely your experience, it is also one I am sure many travelers can relate to, and that non-travelers can feel and enjoy just from watching. Well done!

[@4LayersOfStrength]

Excellently and eloquently explained. #namaste

[@Lilyofthecreek]

I think a lot of Australians go to Fiji. They fly to Nadi airport, catch the resort bus, stay at the resort and then back to Nadi airport and home. When I went to Fiji, I stayed with my friend in Suva and caught the bus through the villages to the beach. Loved the way that many people would walk for an hour or so to church on Sunday morning, and home again. At the market, my only drink of Kava numbed my lips as well!

[@lucyhodgkinson-fisher7355]

I had a smile on my face for the whole video. I spent two years of my childhood in fiji, and i never saw the Fiji i knew reflected in glossy youtube videos. You really caotured the unhurried spirit of the place. Thank you friends 🙏

[@stranskyv452]

sunday is also a church day in fiji,plays a big part in fijians life,hence town appearing quiet. vinaka

[@Drawman76]

Bula. I Love Fiji. How good are the Fijian people! Captured perfectly by my favourite travelers. Thanks for sharing.

[@AustProd6]

Why do I love your productions so much? This was epic, maybe a little too much in time but boy did I enjoy it. I went to Fiji about 20 Years ago and stayed at a resort where it was safe. I saw more in this episode than I did a week there. Keep up the bonza job.

[@julienz6196]

Oh I loved this video. I'm a New Zealander but I grew up in Fiji in the 1960s and it is where I started my schooling years at a very local school. Lived there for many years. Gosh it has changed since then but not the friendliness of the people, the beautiful beaches, sea breezes, tropical fruits and Fiji time. Vinaka for this fabulous video.

[@EGO0808]

Serene natural beauty, who needs the comfort of luxury, when you have the warmth of genuine and authentic people around you…❤❤❤

[@Potomacstud]

I totally loved the format and vibe of this upload , i haven't totally finish it yet but i loved it already , i missed dynamic duo , Thank You

[@peterdubois65]

Great to see the cutest couple on youtube back again😊 the fact that you didn't film the kava drinking only made me respect you more

[@ianpegram8888]

What a fabulous new format! Very well suited to the smaller countries and it takes the pressure off you guys to produce a new video every three days or so. And it's so great to have you back! Live long and prosper!

[@keyboardemperor3540]

Very professionally edited & composed. And this is the most beautiful I've seen my country of origin portrayed. I can tell that you'll achieve all your dreams & more because you've immersed yourself in an ancient yet very humble culture.

[@adamballard880]

You absolutely smashed this one! Best Fiji video ever. You truly mastered the Bula spirit and your time in the Yasawas was emotional to watch. As soon as you talked about the Kava night, I knew you would just experience the hospitality. Well done on being so authentic in your capture.

[@andreabrown7559]

This video wasn't what I was expecting at all, it was so, so much better. Also, the kava hut animation is beautiful and haunting. Well done, you darn kids.

[@traceyferreira8042]

Hi one pack wanderers! Thought about you today. A giant. Banana shark sculpture was put up in Bondi, New South Wales today. Sorry you missed that one Tia 😂😂

[@JanineAnderton]

This video was well worth the wait . Such a poignant narrative in this longer video which was a delight to watch, experiencing the beauty of Fiji with you 😌 guys. You are such great storytellers and cinematographers/artists . We really appreciate your perspective. Well done . We missed you 😊.

[@che-nv3lp]

Thanks you One Pack Wanderers! We have waited in anticipation for this one! You get better with every release. I could do with some Island time myself👍

[@rubeedobee5399]

I love how you make it feel like we are travelling and exploring with you. Amazing video!

[@meturns4666]

Ahhhh.. time to pull out the Tim Tam's, a cuppa tea n try not to make a mess , if you know what I mean ...😅 . Great to see you post , you've been missed ❤️ from Melbourne..

[@Poidar]

Take care of yourselves, guys, we subscribers will never unsubscribe if you post ‘too little’ we only unsubscribe if you post too much in a way that seems not yourselves in a commercial sort of way and I don’t see you doing that so remember SELF CARE FIRST!

[@barry.m9681]

👍great to see you guys again❤️🇦🇺. We Missed you both

[@lawrencevaughan4546]

I did Fiji about 40 years ago, it was quite different back then. You made me think that I missed the best parts and made me want to do it again but this time do it properly. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@tbillington]

Damn, this is a whole vibe 😎 Excellent music choices as well.

[@Karen_richwillo]

This was beautiful. You are both very very talented, so kind and thoughtful in the way you present.

[@ElleAshterra]

Movie length of joy and beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@ivanmazur9551]

this is going to be great.... so i love this its was soooo chill im glad you had a great time there. cant wait to see where you two are headed too next

[@helenthompson5532]

Both my daughters got married in Fiji, on Plantation island , we love it there and the people.

[@AussieHeatherbelle]

Bula. I love 💜 the way you both interact with the local people wherever you are in the world. Missed you while on your “draughtwander”. Xx

[@catherinerakich3291]

Thank you !!!! ... love love love everything you do !! ... was starting to get worried and was going to call all the hospitals in the world !! 🙄 ... but Yay !! ... you're back !! ... you have a charmed life but it is of your own making !!! ... big big hug from Australia !!!

[@mandysekuleski3822]

Went to Fiji for my honeymoon in 1997. Beautiful island & people! ❤

[@denivicious]

Currently 30 mins in and this is so amazing ❤️

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you so much 😭❤️

[@matthewgreer7735]

Beautiful guys!💙 Glad to see my favourite travel bloggers of all time are safe and well I knew you would be Fijians are beautiful people!!!🌺 It must of been nice to have more time to work on your art and it showed in all aspects of this production you guys are evolving and making an Aussie proud.🇦🇺🇺🇲

[@CB-sx8xh]

Tia's artwork ❤❤❤❤

[@billotto4499]

Missed you guys good to have you guys back I'm looking forward to your next video Cheers from down under

[@philinadouglas4854]

Beautiful video guys, so glad you were able to unplug and recharge. Welcome back and happy birthday to Tia’s mum 🥳🥳🥳

[@martynsonsearay3288]

Was wondering where you had gone Australia misses you guys already

[@gerardwhite.]

I wondered where you two had got to. But obviously off the grid for a couple of weeks which is not always a bad thing. This video was worth the wait.

[@RobynCicely]

Such a great viewing experience. Loved the long form. Illustrations were incredible and wonderful to have you back sharing your journey.

[@erwinzyx]

That was awesome! It's so good to see you both again. Looking forward to your next adventure, wherever that may be.

[@JustXee]

Stunning Video you guys! So relaxing to watch and Cheveyo's voice is also so relaxing. Keep it up! 🤗

[@diningwithderek]

It was so worth the wait for this epic episode!!!

[@donaldcroom1483]

there is a risk waiting long periods btwn episodes. audience might think you have moved on away from youTube. a short mourning period as to what we lost, but move on in our lives. that, fortunately was not the case this time.

[@jenniferharrison8915]

Oh, so many good memories, I have heard many stories of the increased crime, lack of employment and drug addiction on the main island, it wasn't comfortable in Nadi! I was relieved when you went to the smaller islands and met the real Fijian communities! New Guinea and Australian natives were cannibals too! I stayed on a former plantation where there were no cars, no internet, no tv and one shop - but the spacious Bure, local donkeys, endless beach activities, friendly people and all you can eat fresh food really made the days endlessly relaxing! Where I was they had music, singing, carving, basket weaving, tree climbing, jungle trecks, kids club, etc! What a beautiful postcard that is Tia, I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience, until next time! 💕

[@siennasmiles4854]

What a great video. Thanks for showing us Fiji, I could almost imagine being there. Great to see U back 🎉

[@TrevorSampson1955]

Thank God your here.....been waiting ...like foreverrrrrrrrrr !

[@jeffreybruner5462]

So happy to see you back!

[@RyanAbbas]

You guys really delivered with this video! Thanks for sharing your experience in Fiji!

[@katecobb9278]

What a wonderful and heartwarming video! You are both so kind and respectful of everyone you meet. Can’t wait to see what you post, next time!

[@guyst15]

Yeahhhh - I’ve been checking every day!! Bula darlings 😁

[@OnePackWanderers]

Bula! 😊

[@guyst15]

@@OnePackWanderers you know when you watch a vlog and it’s good, really good and entertaining and they have a million people watching and you are satisfied? I kinda think you have created a new level - it’s real! Almost a paradox - on the device wanting that content to be free of the digital world. Basically you are doing something brilliant 🍺

[@missjanem]

We can't wait either

[@will_274]

30:56 Super dope shots and sunset.

[@dianegates3162]

That was truly beautiful! I have been waiting for this since I received my treasured postcard, what a fabulous adventure it was! ❤

[@lindyralph8792]

This was SO good you guys. What a beautifully made doco. I'm Australian and never felt drawn to Fiji because I'm not into resorts full of other Australians but you two have shown me another way to travel there. Thank you xxx

[@alias3049]

Fantastic video, I love fiji. God bless.

[@jaredford8440]

Arhhhh Fiji, the land where a chocolate bar turns into a chocolate liquid in approximately 3.5 seconds 😂You two are hilarious, but these longer vlogs are ruining my diet lol I snacked my way through the entire thing 😊 bought back some amazing childhood memories of our family adventure their many many moons ago. Awesome work guys 🌺🌺👋🏼🇳🇿 p.s gorgeous Post card Tia👌🏼

[@FC-BS]

Love the new editing style

[@OnePackWanderers]

This means a lot, thank you 😊

[@shoebunkin]

​@OnePackWanderers I agree. I was enjoying the new "feel" that I was delighted in as the video unfolded. It looked different, felt different, without losing any of the charm you two capture in all your other films. You really should look into documentary film making about people and culture. People need people more than ever before, and even in the big cities, you guys have a way of getting the viewers to have a connectivity with your subjects. Always a fan and always watching. Congratulations to you both. You're both bloody rippers 👍

[@OnePackWanderers]

This is exactly what we needed to hear. Would be lovely to make the videos more about the people we meet, as opposed to it being about us. We’re gonna try! 😅

[@shoebunkin]

@OnePackWanderers never doubt yourselves on this. The amount of love and loyalty your channel gets and the way it has grown since I started watching (on about your 5 or 6 video) is outstanding. Just from where I sit, there have been at least 10 people that have enjoyed your journey because I did, and the enthusiasm for what you do is very contagious. Only last week, my therapist became a new devotee after listening to me talk about how much joy that you have brought just to me alone. She said she loved the way that you capture and distil your subject. Onwards and Upwards, your doing a good thing - your audience is proof of it. ❤️

[@kevinthompson1714]

Once again enjoying your company. Love your stuff. Once again I have found your travelog to be gently and warmly entertaining but still more informative than a million other professional’ travel docos. Go well.

[@darbeeroyal8503]

I wondered where you two disappeared to. What a great doco, it was like watching a mini-movie, and I loved it. I'm an Aussie, but Fiji is one of my favourite places to vacation. Thank you so much for all that effort, and a beautiful piece of work. 👍🏻 😎

[@leamerritt7870]

We loved your video, so lovely to see parts of Fiji not many would go to. We have been to Suva a couple of times on our cruises to Hawaii. Such a beautiful country, lovely people. Thankyou so much guys for bringing us here 💖

[@paulcoinc]

I really enjoyed the video. Thank you both for making it and thank you to all who helped with it.

[@billk9856]

Oh wow! A movie !!!!!!

[@BG-hy6pe]

Great to see yall back!!

[@rosv7833]

Been looking forward to watching this!

[@tomhalpin4991]

You've really created a special video here. One of your best.

[@artistchristos]

I remember when you said you’d be going somewhere without mod cons and guessed Fiji because I’ve been there! You can see the Sleeping Giant in the hills behind you at 7:27mins! I have been on that coast and was told its name. . Where were you in the Yasawa’s? I was on Nananu-I-ra when we experienced the side storm of a cyclone which was something else!. 🇦🇺

[@OnePackWanderers]

We stayed on Naviti and Nanuya. The Yasawas are really something special.

[@robyndehavilland1609]

So beautiful. Over the years I’ve visited Fiji many times, and stayed mainly on the Coral Coast. Such beautiful beautiful people who don’t have much but live the happiest lives. I loved spending time in the local villages, and was lucky enough to get invited to spend some days at the small village school and also to a Sunday church service. Such wonderful times , what a great place to visit after your Aus red dirt adventures. (Still miss having you in Aus though ❤️)

[@RichardBroad-rb8dn]

Well worth the wait Wanderers. Cultural kava with serene scenery and dynamic dialogue. You should be proud of your latest quality production. I look forward to the next one.

[@jenniferupton8498]

My husband and I await your videos with great enthusiasm and childlike anticipation. You certainly showed Fiji in all it's glory. The homestays looked so amazing on those islands. We have heard how friendly and inclusive the Fijians are. It was beautiful to see the joy displayed by the children leading such simple lives. You takes us back to our adventures of the early 70's but we weren't as adventurous as you two. Can't wait for your next adventure.

[@BelindaHutchinson-u8b]

So creative... love the note book 📖 Always well done guys. Thank you! ❤

[@Prsboy78]

Just truly beautiful, you guys have done it again and shown how simple striped back and unplanned travel can create something unique and special. Keep being you, you are a joy to watch.

[@TheLegin11]

Better than a blockbuster movie. You vuys set the standard. ❤

[@therese4963]

Tia and Cheveyo, that was the best!! I absolutely loved how you took us along on your Fiji journey. Your calm easy narration allowed us, the viewers to take in all the beauty that's Fiji. I'd happily watch it again. As always, I can't wait to see where you're both off to next. Take care💖

[@stephenfox964]

I loved this video and loved seeing a new video from you. Can't wait to see where you will go next.

[@oldage001]

Awesome video. looks like such a nice place to have some R&R

[@Kiwi-Macca]

Awesome vlog guys, well done. Cool to see the non resort side of Fiji. Inspiring.

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

That was SOooo Relaxing thanks guys! 👍👍 The simple life...Mmmmm ❤ Look fwd to the next adventure, as always. Stay well, safe & happy! ✌️❤️

[@PamsTravelwithdogs]

Yay. ❤ get the popcorn ready

[@faridasavitri]

Wow, we're treated to a mini movie. Thanks, guys. Fiji is stunning. Hope to get there one day. Surprised about their Hannibal Lecteresque history. Certainly learnt something new from your video. Can't wait for your next adventure.

[@jessicahammetttravels]

Bravo guys! Your movies are just getting better and better (and they were amazing to begin with). 😉 Cheveyo is a fantastic narrator. So happy that you had such a beautiful time in Fiji. Can’t wait for the next one. 🫶🏻🌻🌺☀️

[@mikldude9376]

Awesome video as always 👍, you two are so good and low stress at travelling around , and that comes through in your videos . Loved the shack on the beach , no big city distractions , just ocean and fresh air . Thanks for sharing ! I’ve said it before , travel/ holiday destinations should pay you two for a bit of advertising . The note book thing was a nice touch 😊.

[@margaretjoan6148]

Wonderful video. Always look forward to them. Love from Perth ❤️

[@-CraigThommy]

Worth the wait great new video guys when I went I stayed on Toberua Island that was many years ago.❤

[@tiffanyrankin9059]

We have been waiting with huge anticipation & you did not fail to deliver. What a beautifully done video! Thank you, once more, for allowing us into your travels & experiences. ❤

[@silverstitch28]

I travelled all of the Pacific Idlands in the 1990s. Back then a common currency was coloured beads worn around the neck. We also went during a tornado accross the Sawa irrara islands and volcano eruption in Vila!

[@annster8901]

Thank you so much guys! I loved this video :-) Visited Fiji this April and this brought back so many memories. Bula Vinaka!
