Overview
Take a trip to Western Samoa on your Samoa Vacation
Samoa is a Polynesian paradise in the South Pacific, captivating globetrotters with its untamed beauty. Swim the vibrant coral reefs fringing the shores and snorkel into a kaleidoscope of marine life. Waterfalls dropping into hidden pools invite hikers and explorers to its verdant charm behind the lush emerald interior. Visit the bustling Maketi Fou market and meet locals trading exotic fruits and crafts in Apia, the capital city. The ancient Pulemelei Mound is a colossal stone pyramid and a testament to the island's rich culture and history. Discover the dramatic stories etched in hardened lava at the sacred Saleaula Lava Fields, remnants of a fiery volcanic past. Dine beachside on freshly caught seafood, expertly prepared in the umu, an earth oven, imparting a smoky richness. Enjoy the unique taste of the sap of the Ava tree, known as kava, a customary social drink with a mildly relaxing effect.

The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
The Pyrenean Mountain scenery and tax-free shopping are two of my favourite things about travelling to Andorra.
I love learning about Nicaragua's culture and experiencing its Spanish influence in some cities. I was only there for five days, but I'll never forget how delicious the food was and how welcoming and extremely polite the people were.
Nicaragua is well known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, lakes, rainforests, and colonial cities. I love how friendly the people are and how delicious the food is! There is always something fun to do in Nicaragua!
Festival de Los Farolitos is an annual nighttime festival held every September in the town of Ataco, where the streets, houses, and plazas are illuminated with thousands of handmade lanterns (farolitos). Families craft them using colored paper, wood, calabash gourds, or jars, each with a candle inside. Although it's tied to the eve of the Virgin Mary’s birthday, it has evolved into a cultural celebration of community, light, creativity, and town pride.
