Pacific islands like Tonga and Tahiti look like paradise! They have tropical rainforests, white, sandy beaches and beautiful blue sea.

It was a miracle that we could stand on our feet after the pandemic, though it is heartbreaking to realize that diseases and climate change are getting worse. For example in Iraq, when i was young at school, i remember the weather was nice. Blue sky, clear weather and stars at night. Now the sky is drab, spring season is full of dust storms and summer is about 8 months long with rising in tempreture up to 60 centigrade

Of course island life isn't paradise. There are many issues to live. Some travellers before visiting Island ought to learn ways how to be more safe. I have never been to any islands. I hope i will see. My sister visited Bali. She said it looked like a paradise and unbelievable. I believed to her words. I think it's true. When u have a cold climate in your countryside u need to go to island with a sea and chill out there. It would help a lot, than playing games to remove stress
