Authorities are searching for a 23-year-old British woman who has gone missing while travelling in Fiji.
Police say Lydia O’Sullivan, from Whitehaven, Cumbria, has been travelling abroad for the past two years and recently arrived in Fiji from New Zealand.
Cumbria police say Lydia usually messages her family daily but she has not been heard from since February 28.
Prior to visiting Fiji, she had been living and working in Auckland, in New Zealand's North Island.
Lydia is originally from Whitehaven.
Cumbria Constabulary have today issued an urgent appeal to help find her.
She is described as around 5ft tall with blue eyes, long brown hair and a petite build.
Lydia's sister Franciene Nicholson is appealing for help tracing Lydia.
On Facebook, she urged people to help the family find her sister.
She said Lydia had been travelling and teaching English in various countries, and had more recently been based in Auckland.
She wrote in a public Facebook post that Lydia travelled to Fiji for some time off on February 26.
"She messaged to say she had landed safely but has not been heard of since. Lydia normally contacts my mother daily. We have not heard from her for a week now.
"We are becoming increasingly worried as a family. If anyone has seen her in Fiji or has any information about her where abouts please please contact."
A police spokesman said: "Cumbria Constabulary is liaising with Lydia’s family and agencies including the police in Fiji but would ask anyone with any knowledge of her whereabouts to contact police immediately."
Anyone with information on Lydia's whereabouts can email police on 101@cumbria.police.uk, call non-emergency number: 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
