Western Samoa (Currency)

The Independent State of Western Samoa, situated 1,000 miles northeast of New Zealand in the South Pacific, has an area of 1,097 square miles. Here is where Robert Louis Stevenson, the ‘tusitala’ (story teller) spent his last two years and found solace in the tranquillity of this country so richly steeped in tradition. Known as ‘The Heart of Polynesia’, Samoa is where age-old culture and village lifestyles have been preserved for centuries. Samoa is the largest full-blooded Polynesian country in the world. Over 90% of the country’s 162,000 plus population are full Samoans.
