Introducing Pacific
From the lazy beaches of the South Pacific and Micronesia where coconuts fall and time is lost to the thrumming capitals of Australia and New Zealand, this is a region where the rainforest meets the sea (and city) with jaw dropping landscapes and vibrant metropolises offering a myriad of opportunities for exploring incredible culture, festivals and food.
