The Heart-Shaped Island (Tavarua)

I would LOVE to go to Tavarua. I saw a picture of the island over the internet, but I only knew that it was located in Fiji, and I didn't know the name of it til last year. Last year, in 7th grade, we did this project thing where we had to pick a country and do a presentation on it. I picked Fiji because I heard a bunch of great things about it. I searched up of what it was about. I searched up about the government, the waterfalls, the different islands, etc. Since it was my chance in finiding the island name, I searched up "Heart-Shaped Island in Fiji" and the Tavarua website popped up! I read more about it and fell in love with the thought of going to that place. It's so interesting on so many levels and it gets me hyped every time I get on the thought that there's a possible chance in going to the island. There's this tradition over there where if a newcomer comes on the island the islanders have to dig up a hole up to about 3ft (I think). Then they put a bunch of raw food in it and cook it up for an hour. After that they have this HUGE feast for the celebration of new souls on their island. I think that's how it goes anyways. They cook up a bunch of food everywhere and it seems like they have great drinks as well. My favorite thing about Tavarua is that it's heart-shaped, and it's so gorgeous. I would totally recommend you would visit it. πŸ’™πŸ’š
