Also referred to as Beautiful Samoa, it is an unspoiled paradise and people live the same why they do for many years. They are very protective of their culture and the government has even implemented ways for them to preserve it even. Most people still live in fale (a house with roof and floor but no walls). Life is simple. They also have a third gender called fa'afafine.
Places to see
Samoa has two main island Upolu and Savaii. Here are my recommendations for both islands!
Upolu
Savaii
Accommodation in Samoa
Some of the best options are hotels, Airbnb, home stay, courchsurfing, and Beach Fale. I would recommend at least 1 night at a beach fale, it’s an experience you will never forget. Additionally, the nite life and clubs are located in Apia and it closes at midnight. Luckily, if you're in the mood for a bit more late night fun hotels also have nightly entertainment. Oh, BTW! You have to see the fire dance and cultural show at Tanoa hotel.
Food to try
This is truly one those memorable trips of a lifetime and Samoa will always be special because that’s where I met my husband ❤️.
