'O La'i Vei?

We start our travels from a unique place, a unique perspective. We are leaving our home in Fiji and embarking on an adventure unlike any we have taken before: continuing to explore the world's cultures, only in brief snapshots.

In Fiji, part of the standard greeting is to ask "Where are you going?" It's akin to how we ask "How are you?" in English. At first, it really put us off. Why do you want to know where I'm going? Who cares where I'm going? But then we learned that an acceptable answer is just "Over there."

Today, though, we have a different answer. We're going to Indonesia.

So, we say "Moce mada" to this beautiful island home, to this culture which has welcomed us with open arms and full plates of food. We leave an understanding of this place and its people and enter a world that is unknown to us. We will truly be travelers on the road as we attempt to navigate new and foreign cultures.

And therein lies the adventure.
