The challenge was to create a content series that would resonate with audiences in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, USA, and Hong Kong. The goal was to find deserving individuals with real stories and hardships who had never travelled overseas. The airline also wanted to capture the essence of Fiji as a 'home away from home' through the experiences of world champion surfer, Kelly Slater, who had been visiting Fiji annually for the past 24 years.
