Projects

Tribewanted is not a passive tropical resort; it's a full-immersion island adventure. While Tribewanted allows its members to decide for themselves what level they're involved, there are specific areas of interest that all Tribewanted projects focus on.

‘So. How do you think you’ll be after leaving the island?’

‘yeah, should be ok, having been coming and going like this for a few years now, should be ok’

A rough transcript of many conversations I have had over the last month. Everyone who comes to Vorovoro has to leave at some point and I was no exception.

Kaz Brecher By Kazoo, California, USA Posted 05 Oct 2008

A favorite blog of mine, inhabitat, had some good pointers about household cleaning products – and links to guides that help you sort through what’s really green and what is just being green-washed (the eco equivalent of whitewashing):

http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/09/24/green-home-101-guide-to-green-cleaning/#more-14209

Specifically, I found broad principles like this to be helpful, for when you’re in the store and not sure what to do:

“A safe general rule of thumb is if you can’t pronounce it, don’t use it. If you can’t tell what the active ingredient in a cleaning product is, then you might want to reconsider slathering it …

Sounds of the wickedness, lyrical blissness, we’re coming in like this. Yes yes! It’s time for some Tribewanted Gapper FM in association with the almighty Hammock Society. And let me tell you, I have a hottie with me in the hammocks here today, a true Vorovoro beauty – say hello Va.

In Western culture it is rude to ask a lady her age, is this the same in Fijian culture?

It’s not rude. We are open about our age. I hear in western culture there are three things you should never ask a lady.

So about an environmental weekend where you get to hang out with big happy brown pigs and work without PAYING for it, courtesy of …
