I always saw myself heading to Oceania at some point. As a kid it was my ultimate dream, like some kind of unattainable fantasy. It was just so beautifully far away and totally different from everything I knew. 

When I finally made it there I realised that it was not all that different after all, but that does not mean that I was disappointed. My trip to Oceania was my first time backpacking and even though I traveled there with a friend it still felt like the first time I got to explore the world on my own. To me Oceania will always have that. Fiji was the first place I went that really opened my eyes. Australia was huge and wonderful, and while it would occasionally remind me of Norway, it was still everything else at the same time.  

We live in a big world with so many places to see, but I still see myself returning to Oceania someday.
