“Unfortunately for me I wasn’t to know how just one week on Vorovoro would be painfully and frustratingly to short. There’s no travel agent to tell you of the addictive nature of the island, and even if there was I doubt articulating the feeling i have now would be an easy, if at all possible task.” Tom Howe : Vorovoro vs. Beachcomber
Tribewanted isn’t a single, pre-planned, scripted experience. It’s different for every member who participates. That’s what makes it so unique.
Visitors come to Fiji, but members come to Vorovoro. Everyone on Vorovoro is a member of the Tribewanted community.
Tribewanted is a dynamic, growing community governed online and experienced on-island. Members are full-fledged Tribal citizens, not tourists and not spectators. Members are part of the Vorovoro family.
This membership is what makes Tribewanted both unique and relevant. Why look at fish in an aquarium when you can swim with them ? Why study a culture when you can immerse yourself in it ? Tribewanted offers what no other gap year experience offers – the chance for you to make of your experience exactly what you want.
Looking for private time for introspection? Poetry writing? Artistic musing? Soul searching? It’s easy to find inspiration on Vorovoro.
Want to meet other people? From different cultures? From different backgrounds? From different generations? You’ll find over 36 countries and four generations represented in Tribewanted’s worldwide membership. Looking for a soulmate? We’re not making any promises, but it has happened before!
If you want to remember your gap year as spent napping in a hammock under a palm tree, Vorovoro is prime real estate. And if you want something more, the opportunities with Tribewanted are as limitless as they are unique.
Watching sunsets. Chasing chickens. Cracking open coconuts. Swinging in hammocks. Swimming with sharks. Building something with your bare hands. Participating in century-old tribal ceremonies. Sharing your culture with others. Inspiring children. Making a difference. Tribewanted membership provides 100 once in a lifetime adventures.
“[Vorovoro is] definately the highlight of my travels so far, a cultural eye-opener an enlightening experience, best fun I have ever had while surrounded by water, mozzies and all.” Patrick Ryan : The highlight of my travel so far…
The freedom of life on Vorovoro lets members explore interests and skills they wouldn’t be able to otherwise.
Yearning for the rural life? Vorovoro has gardens to plant and harvest, chickens and pigs to feed, buildings to construct, fires to burn, songs to sing, and grog to drink. Interested in arts and crafts? From the creative recycling projects on the island to traditional weaving and dancing, the whole island is a massive art project.
Want to get your hands dirty? There are plumbing projects, electrical projects, cooking projects, mechanical projects, free diving fishing projects, and more. Want to keep your hands clean, but inspire your heart or mind? Rugby, football, cricket, and volleyball are good for the heart, while teaching, singing, and sharing are good for the mind.
All of these unique opportunities are at your fingertips on Vorovoro.
“Since the day I left Vorovoro, parts of me have been left behind. The first part being the person I was before I arrived- scared of the world, in a way scared of myself. The second part being some of my heart.” Aileen Cox : A good old babble…
Your experiences on Vorovoro transcend your gap year. For every experience you take from Vorovoro, you leave the same experience behind. Being immersed in the Tribe, everything you do is shared. Your presence on Vorovoro does make a difference. It does influence people, and it can change lives. It can even change your own.
As a Tribewanted member, you are part of a larger experience: the Tribewanted project. Your access to this experience isn’t limited to just your time in Fiji, but open from the date you join for forever.
The legacy you leave on the island is not soon forgotten. On Vorovoro, Tribe members are not guests logged in a register, but are lively members of the Vorovoro family. Their names appear in stories told around the grog bowl, their memories are attached to the different, growing projects on the island. Their influence is remembered by the children on the island.
