What is this site about?

Have you ever visited a place so beautiful that you never wanted to leave? A place whose mere thought could bring forth every emotion in the spectrum, from sadness (because you’re not there anymore) to anxiety (when am I going back???) to an overwhelming feeling of giddiness (hurrah! I’m finally going back!!!)? If you feel that way about a Polynesian island, then you’re addicted… and you’re not alone!

PolynesiaAddict.com is the therapy that every island addict needs! I’m here to help you through the withdrawal and bring some island sunshine back into your life. Whether it’s finding home decorations to remind you of Polynesia, adding colorful tropical prints to your wardrobe, cooking up a favorite island dish or planning another beach vacation, you can find it all at PolynesiaAddict.com!

Who are you?

My name is Catherine. I’m a West Coast girl living on the East Coast wishing I was in French Polynesia. Yeah, I have issues.

I’ve been addicted to Polynesia ever since my husband and I honeymooned in French Polynesia in 2001. Since then, the addiction has taken quite the hold and we have returned to FP two more times, visiting new islands and returning to some old favorites each time. We’ve also done a lot of other world traveling. My dream would be to live in French Polynesia and I dream about it… a lot. You can read my full Polynesia Addict Profile here.
