Fiji: you guys might remember me:

What is going on guys? My name is Sean and i am turning 23 tomorrow (a say after John Lennons birthday haha). I have been doing some major soul searching over the past few years and i have only concluded one thing so far: i am not cut out for cubicle/office work. Everyone around me seems happyish with what they are doing but i cannot find even a glimmer of hope for myself if i have to continue this 9-5 life. I have decided that i want to sell everything i own and move to a place where i can live life not chasing the all mighty dollar or arguing about who should have won american idol last night. I have been doing some research and have found a few places that i would like to check out. the problem is i do not have the funds to visit all of these places before i decide on where to set up camp. My criteria for living are as follows: 1) A beach, particularly one with good surf. I have never surfed before but it has always been my dream to be a surf bum on a deserted island around Fiji. 2) Cheap cost of living. I am totally fine with sleeping under the stars and picking my meal off a tree. I am trying to become a beach bum, remember? haha 3) Not to touristy. I am trying to find a place off the beaten path. An are with a little tourism would be nice because i could work in a hotel or something but i do not want to have to fight the crowds at the beach. Some places that i have been looking at are Bali, montanita ecuador, south africa, and of course Fiji. I was considering hawaii and costa rica but i am hesitant due to the cost of hawaii and the crowds of both of locales. I would go to fiji right tnis second if i could. Has anyone been to Fiji? Would you recommended it for young expats? where else should i look? any advice in any way would be helpful at this point. I had my ticket ready and my bag packed to leave for Suva Fiji on january 20, 2013 but i couldnt do it. At the time, my girlfriend and i were doing awesome and i just chickened out; i thought, "oh i am making a huge mistake, this is where i belong" but after all these months things have only gotten more mundane and way less joyful. It would still kill me to leave my girlfriend but i am afraid that i would just be holding both of us back by staying here. I considered asking her to come with me but i couldnt ask her to leave everything she has ever known for me.

Fiji: 22 and in need of a life:

hi, my name is Sean. i am from the US and i have dreamed about living somewhere tropical and getting away from the grind of a 'normal' life here in the states. surfing is also a must for my new home.(ive never surfed but i literally dream about it every single night). I just need to remove myself from this toxic, dying environment before i become a zombie like everyone else. after some research i have decided on fiji. i cant think of the city name off the top of my head but it starts with a s and its not suva. It is said to have an ok sized expat community and low crime rate. i am 22 years old, my plan is to sell all that i can, buy a one way ticket and hope for the best. i am looking for any advice on where is the best place to live, be it in fiji or not, how much money i will need, how bad crime is. i have never don this before haha so im just looking for any insight. NOTE: if u live in fiji and need a roommate, or have anywhere safe i can stay for a little bit, just long enough for me to get my bearings after i move. it does not even have to be inside, i just need somewhere i know is safe where i can lay my head. i am going to try to bring a tent so like i said, outside is cool haha. please help me out. this is by no means a joke. i am planning on arriving in suva fiji around january 20, 2013. please, any help would be extremely welcomed!! Thanks with love, -Sean
