While Rarotonga certainly gives off strong holiday vibes, it still manages to keep that local feel and culture that so many of us millennials crave for in a trip these days.

Living in New Zealand means that the most stunning of Pacific Islands are on my doorstep.

Growing up in a place with no tropical islands on my doorstep, I have come to appreciate the beauty of New Zealand’s remoteness, and while it not be near my family back in the US, it is quite close to some of the most stunning islands in the world.

I’ll take a holiday and visit Rarotonga over Virginia Beach any day!
