Tribewanted is about people and what they can accomplish when they rally around a common goal. What is great is that those who participate can do so at their own level, whether it's full time, volunteer based, for one week or one month, and from the island, from their computer, or from a hammock on the beach.

Chief Manifesto June 2010

Jade’s Chief Manifesto!

VOTE for Jade

Why would you like to be Chief?
Coming to Vorovoro as a tribe member, I immediately fell in love with the place – the greeting “welcome home” resounded in my ears, and I really felt it. It’s hard to describe what makes Vorovoro such an amazing place, but I think it starts with the friendliness, of team Fiji, the tribe itself, Tui Mali, and everyone else from the neighbouring villages. It’s the sound of the waves, a constant backdrop to the daily activities, the activities themselves – whether that’s catching fish, cooking …

Bula sia everyone!

Greetings from the Island! Jimmy here, writing to you on a hot, hot day from our cool sanctuary that is the Grand Bure. The sunshine is making for some lovely snorkeling weather, and everyone here is gearing up for a dip in the sea this afternoon.

As I have been trying to decide what part of my island journey to share with the world, I have gone back and forth between listing off all that we have accomplished since we arrived in November, to writing about the differences between managing in Fiji and managing back …

A Glimpse Inside Mali's Villages

Jenny Cahill By Jenny Cahill, , Posted 04 Jun 2010

Wednesday morning, I sat on the plank seat of the boat, huddled in my rain jacket against the cold rain spitting from the sky, as Poasa carefully navigated us to the far side of Mali Island to the small village of Vesi. Seated beside me was Keresoni, the Mali Peace Corp Volunteer and Tribe friend. At my request, Keresoni had arranged meetings with the women in each village so I could present to them my ideas for a fair trade project. We both lamented the weather, but decided we were grateful that it was at least cooler than usual. And …

Responsible and fairly traded tourism at Tribewanted

Tags: Tribe / Fiji / Partners Screen_shot_2009-10-28_at_13
Ben Keene By mr.ben, nomadic, Posted 28 Oct 2009

Fair trade is an attempt to slow down economic activity to match the pace of culture; it is commerce with a conscience. For those of us who travel, it doesn’t take long to realize that the resilience of culture will wear thin and eventually break when it is made to conform to the speed of commerce.

We must ask, in the words of Barack Obama “not only is this profitable, but is it right?”

At Tribewanted we aim to maintain economic growth for ourselves and the local community without sacrificing the fundamental rights, dignity, and health of the …

It’s been a while since i visited Vorovoro, but (as it goes for everyone i guess) the great memories stay forever!I’m finally getting into editing the video material i shot during my 7 months travel (of which 6 weeks with Tribewanted) and this little clip i just had to share with you.

For everyone that’s been part of the Macuata Day on Nandouri, this video brings back a good feeling for sure. And actually, it’ll probably bring a smile to everyone’s face!

Have fun!

Well what can you say about Vorovoro that hasn’t already been documented by so many like-minded people? Well, nothing, that’s the simple answer, because Vorovoro leaves you completely speechless.

But here is my story nonetheless…

I went through a slightly different route to get onboard with Tribewanted and that was through Feejee Experience, who offer a trip called the ‘Tribal Loop’. What an incredible experience. You are driven around Viti Levu (The main island) over a minimum of four days, I only took the four day option due to time constrains. The guide (Cam) taught us a lot …
