Day 34 ~ 12,350 Miles, Nuku Hiva

Day 34 ~ 12,350 Miles

Nuku Hiva is unlike anything I’ve seen and I’m falling short finding the words to describe this place. The people are very warm and welcoming even with our language barrier, a smile still goes a long way. I made friends with some children via the stickers I give out and their mothers asked me to join them and shared their fresh fruit. It was a memorable moment. After walking around the “town” I took off in the 4x4 caravan for an island tour. I see why the advance scout team of Survivor selected this island: rugged, beautiful, and seemingly cut off from the world.

My driver did make certain that there is one less wild boar on the island😳. She couldn’t swerve or would have risked going over a cliff.

I do highly recommend breadfruit chips on your next culinary tour of French Polynesia.Read more
