Destination Details
Lodging
Lodging will be at Eco-Lodge. The main lodge was constructed using locally grown timber. The ground level contains a kitchen, office, large dining area, and game room with billiards. The house also features a large deck leading to an infinity-edge swimming pool. The grounds have extensive gardens, sports fields, and meditation decks tucked among fruit trees and swaying palms. The base is a favorite location for students traveling in Fiji. Rooms are divided between dormitory-style bedrooms and several authentic bures, or cabins, spread throughout the property. Bathrooms are modern, with flushing toilets and solar-powered hot-water showers. Home base is located between two Fijian villages and surrounded by a number of local farms that are generally owned by families of Indian descent, which make up close to 40 percent of Fiji’s population. The mixture of Fijian and Indian neighbors creates an interesting and vibrant atmosphere from which to explore and learn about Fiji and its unique mix of cultures.

Packing Information
Packing the
right gear (and the right amounts) is the first step to an incredible travel
experience. Follow these tips to pack like a pro:
Travel light.
Pack only the essentials. You’ll need less than you think!
Bring the right
clothes. Pack clothes that are culturally appropriate for your destination and
acceptable for service projects. This means bringing long shorts (think Bermuda
and basketball shorts), t-shirts with sleeves to cover shoulders, and
appropriate footwear.
Leave your
valuables behind. While traveling, it’s easier for things to get lost, stolen,
or damaged. Keep any prized possessions safe at home.
