Traveling to Samoa

. it's the rainy period, so you never know what's gonna be! When it bothers you so much, it is probably a better option to drive in the drought, starting in June.

Traveling in Samoa as a solo woman

Ranging from the sea breeze that crashes on the off-shore cliffs to the softly flowing waters of the nearest sands. I' ve been on the road as a single woman in Samoa and this has alleviated the daily concerns of my bustling Iife. Travel in Samoa as single women - you can have such a beautiful sandy area all to yourself!

So with the monsun time my customary go out place to cool Southeast Asia, I chose to look for another choice for a beachsail. I chose the small South Pacific island of Samoa as an alternate with dazzling knows know how to find beautiful sandy shores, often lined with palms or dark volcano cliffs (or both!!!), nice natives and sweet shelters.

As it turned out, traveling in Samoa as a single woman was amazingly simple. That'?s how I used to spend my free day in Samoa. I was less than an hours ago on the roadside in front of Samoa International in hopes of taking a train to Lalomanu on the other side of the isle.

Turns out it was the right choice when I learned later that the first coach from the city to Lalomanu was leaving around 10am! When the rains fell again, we passed houses, forests and parks along the street as well as many cathedrals. In about an and a half hours we had achieved our goal, Lalomanu.

As the rains picked up the breathtaking splendour of this small sandy spot, it could not be ignored. I would stay for the next four days in this sweet little cottage right on the sandside. Beachside front fine- my home! Ecclesiastics and religions are an important part of Samoa's lifestyle and people. I' d been told that the Samoans were great vocalists, so I resolved to go to Mass on Sunday mornings to listen to it myself.

Lalomanu was a large cream-blue edifice with a nice wood ceilin. The stay in Litia Sini at the lighthouse Lalomanu was very common, as breakfasts and dinners were only available for a while. I befriended my neighbors and a single traveler and on Monday we all went to see one of Samoa's major attractions: To Sua Ocean Trench.

Situated on the rocks of a tragic coastal strip, well-tended parks have been embellished with small shells. Yep, that was a whole days chill-out on the lovely beaches right in front of my chalet on the water! To see a little more of Samoa, I stayed only four days in Lalomanu before continuing along the southern shore to a fistful of chalets in a forest of palms near the hamlet of Salamumu.

There was a different feeling to Lalomanu, which had a vast open sandy shore. There, the coarse crushed corals formed a layer of crushed limestone that largely obstructed the entrance to the depth. I walked from my paradise of bungalows through the woods to a small one.

It was all to myself. But I kept asking myself - how is it possible that such a sandy place could be and I have it all to myself? When I pointed on an inconspicuous way into the woods, my elevator reassured me that it was the one at Matareva.

When I began to wonder where this was, I saw a green park in front of me. In addition, a small, little metal-roofed fan-shaped sandy shore, planted with planted flowers and dark volcano cliffs opened up against the beautiful clear waters that were all over Samoa. Except for a few snorkelers, the shore was empty.

Traveling in Samoa as a single bitch was simple. So I took a Virgin Australia flight from Sydney to Samoa. Sadly, it is inevitable on all Australian to Samoa services with bad timings and/or long stays. In Lalomanu I spent the night in a beach cottage in Litia Sini Beach Fales. It was a beautiful chalet and oh so sweet!

There was a private terrace with a view of the sea and my queen size beds had a mosquitonet. It is not so much a residence as a bunch of large, contemporary beacheside cottages in a shady orchard with rocky cliffs on a tropic outcrop. I walked to the breathtaking, breathtaking Matareva Beaches (day seven) and made a brief stroll to an empty shore right on the shore (day seven).

Last I travelled from Sa'Moana Resort to Samoa Lodge International Airports (about 10 minutes to the airport) because my plane departed from Samoa at 6:10 am. The bungalows were very practical and neat and the bathrooms were great, especially after taking a shower in Lalomanu!
