On March 16, 2023, I embarked on a unique journey from Samoa via Fiji to Tuvalu with Fiji Air. Upon my arrival at Funafuti, the only airport on the island, I was struck by the beauty of the country, which is known for its coral atolls and crystal-clear waters. Tuvalu is one of the least visited countries in the world, and I felt privileged to explore its natural wonders and learn about its culture. During my visit, I had the opportunity to meet with the Foreign Minister and gave him a picture of Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha. My trip to Tuvalu was an eye-opening experience, and I left with a newfound appreciation for this unique island nation.
