Founding Directors
We were teaching English as a second language, in Hong Kong . The powers-that-be said we were at the age when we needed to retire (not that we felt that way - most days).
We had both traveled extensively, particularly Rick, who had spent 25 years working for Qantas airlines. Where would we retire to?
After searching the Internet we took a quick trip to Vanuatu on our Easter break.
Yes, it is a third world country, but so interesting! You can check out more details on world-hotels.vu .
Not commercialized like Fiji, not troubled like Bali and only two and a half hours from Brisbane, Australia.
We fell in love with the Happiest Country on Earth. The friendly people, the exotic blend of French/English/Bislama, the tropical waters.
It’s not perfect, but it is one of the world’s last untouched wildernesses.
We purchased a property with four houses and over the next eighteen months turned it into a boutique accommodation, Seachange Lodge.
Vanuatu is our permanent home.
