In November 2018, I spent 4 weeks in Gizo, Solomon Islands on a medical elective at the amazing Gizo Hospital. I had the most amazing time both in and outside of the hospital. This video shares some of the highlights of my trip, as my friends and I travel to different beautiful islands during our spare time.
We spent most of our time snorkelling and enjoying the breathtaking views of the pristine waters surrounding the islands.
List of islands/resorts we visited in order: Fatboys resort, Sanbis resort, and everyone's favourite, Imagination Island where we spent two incredible nights staying on an over-water cottage. We spent the days snorkelling amongst beautiful sea creatures (and sharks!), and we were lucky enough to stargaze during a prominent meteor shower. The clear sky allowed for the stars to shine at its brightest that night on Imagination Island.
I had the experience of a lifetime there both as a medical student and traveller.
If anyone wants more info regarding travelling to Gizo or the Solomons, or a medical student thinking of doing an elective over there (trust me the medical experience was awesome, you get to see and do so much! Unfortunately due to confidentiality I did not film in the hospital), give me a shout and I'll be more than happy to share more of my experience/advice!
My time there couldn't have been anywhere near as incredible as it was without the people there. My friends, the lovely doctors, and of course the amazing local people of the Solomon Islands! Thank you everyone so much for the experience of a lifetime!
PS. I apologise for the shaky, low quality video and rough edit, I have zero experience in editing videos and prior to this trip I bought the cheapest action camera last minute! I have since upgraded to a GoPro though!
