French Polynesia

I travelled to French Polynesia for the first time in December 2022, first visiting Tahiti-Iti, where the Paris Olympics surfing competition will take place in summer 2024. Then we went on a cruise to several of the Society Islands with Windstar Cruises.

Articles so far:

For United Airlines’ in-flight magazine, Hemispheres:

- Link to the October 2023 magazine (my article is on page 32).
- Online version to come.
