Hawaii & Vanuatu

Hawaii is a tropical paradise with volcanic islands, surfing beaches, and lush rainforests. Vanuatu, made up of over 80 islands, offers tribal culture, active volcanoes, and pristine waters.

Fiji & Rarotonga

Fiji welcomes visitors with friendly locals and turquoise lagoons across 300+ islands. Rarotonga, the heart of the Cook Islands, features volcanic peaks, tropical forests, and coral reefs.

Tahiti & New Caledonia

Tahiti is French Polynesia’s cultural hub, known for waterfalls and black-sand beaches. New Caledonia mixes Melanesian tradition with French charm and offers the world’s largest lagoon.

Fiji Reflections

Fiji has over 300 islands—I’ve seen about 25 so far this trip. I'm concerned that "the wow factor" no longer applies. Yet if I take an imaginary ride down Southern California's Carmageddon—Interstate 405—and breathe in some smog while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, I still want to escape to MY reality: being in the South Pacific! I love the free parking for all boats, ships, and anything that floats.

The Time Millionaire in Bora Bora

Trading possessions for experiences across the South Pacific

"The best things in life aren't things—they’re moments, they’re freedom, and they’re time."

In Bora Bora, I wasn't just taking in the view—I was cashing in on something far more valuable than money: my time. While most people spend their lives working to eventually live, I chose to reverse-engineer the formula. That’s what it means to be a time millionaire—not waiting for someday, but living fully, now.

On a South Pacific cruise in 2007, I woke up to emerald peaks rising from turquoise lagoons. There was no 9-to-5, no agenda. Just nature’s clock—sunrises, ocean breezes, and island rhythms.

What Is a Time Millionaire?

Unlike financial millionaires, time millionaires invest in freedom. We collect memories, not material things. The ROI? Sunsets over Bora Bora. Conversations that don’t watch the clock. And a life designed around meaning, not meetings.

There’s a serenity to sailing the South Pacific that no spreadsheet can calculate. Bora Bora isn't a vacation—it's validation that you're living on your terms.

So next time you ask yourself what you want to be when you grow up, consider this: Would you rather be rich in dollars—or in time?
