Vanuatu, you have given me some amazing experiences, great life-long friendships and a bank of memories and experiences that will never be forgotten.
They say a picture tells a thousand words. There aren't enough words to sum up my year in Vanuatu, so I'm hoping some pictures will do a better job.
Fifty two weeks, fifty two photos to illustrate the year that was.
