Description:
Tribewanted Vorovoro is a home from home. A beautiful, remote desert island where a global community have built and eco village fusing traditional Fijian life with sustainable living.
When you become a member of this tribe. you become part on an on-line community where you can vote on how the island develops or who will be the next monthly chief.
People visit for a minimum of a week but often feel that three weeks gives you a much deeper experience. It takes one week to become familiar with the place, the second week you feel established and the third week you fall in love if you haven't done already. Many people shed a tear when it's time to leave their new Fijian family.
There are daily classes where you can immerse yourself in Fijian culture and learn the traditional dance called the meke, weave mats, husk coconuts, jewelery workshops, spear-fishing or take part and learn about sustainable living. You can present sevusevu to Tui Mali - the local chief of Vorovoro and Mali. The tribe are often invited to local ceremonies and events as well as participating in community-based projects - for example, erecting a wind turbine.
Accommodation ranges from traditional Fijian huts called bures to outdoor hammocks. People often bring a tent and camp on the beach. There's a tree house for the adventurous, volleyball and football pitches surrounded by coconut trees and during the wet season there's a waterfall shower - it's a place where dreams are manifested... turtles hatch on the beach, you can snorkel amongst tropical fish until your heart is content.
Liavi is the Horticultural Manager and is often found taking tribe members on garden tours, getting them involved or playing the guitar underneath some banana leafs. He has one of the warmest smiles and is full of unconditional love for everyone who comes on the island. He is very proud to be part of the project and to meet people from all over the world.

Description
Leavi taught me all about the different types of food that we can grow on an island to live sustainably. In the evenings we would drink kava and sing songs, he is an accomplished musician and would have a decent career as a stand-up comedian - the place wouldn't be the same without him.
