    Description

    Bula,
    My name is Elise and I'm 63 years old - I live in Pacific Harbour, Fiji and have a large family house with a big yard, 5 dogs, 3 cats and spend a lot of time with horses (mine and others) at a horse sanctuary nearby that a friend established a few years ago. My house is across the road from the main beach. I have two adult daughters and a grand-daughter. My older daughter and grand-daughter live with me but they also spend time elsewhere and my younger daughter lives in the US.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Suva, the capital is an hour away by bus. There is good public transport and a few fun things like diving, river tubing and going to waterfalls in our area. We are easy to get to.
    I work from home a lot of the time and like to live a generally quiet life.
