The pacific currently isn’t particularly in turmoil so it doesn’t need to be pacified, but my urge to travel there does. Thus the name of my new trip: Pacifying the Pacific (urge). I’m including East Timor which is technically Asia, but for its proximity I will include it on this trip.

Here are the 14 new states I plan on visiting in no particular order.

• Fiji
• Kiribati
• Marshall Islands
• Micronesia
• Nauru
• New Zealand
• Palau
• Papua New Guinea
• Samoa
• Solomon Islands
• Tonga
• Tuvalu
• Vanuatu
• East Timor

For this travel I will be basing myself out of Sydney where fortunately I have family.

Visa wise these countries will all be hassle free with visas on arrival or no visa required, which is a welcome change from my last trip in Africa.

Besides beautiful beaches, culture, and a unique jelly fish lake, the flights between these small countries will be an interesting highlight.

Keep posted for the itinerary!
