There's a tribe out there waiting for you:
The project, tribewanted.com, was launched online in April. Since then nearly 800 people from 20 different nations have signed up, more than half of them American.
Now renamed Adventure Island, the palm-fringed outcrop has been leased from local people for three years by British entrepreneurs Ben Keene and Mark James, both 26, with the experiment due to begin on September 1.
Tribal members will rotate through the island, spending up to three weeks on the 200-acre tropical hideaway, depending on which level of membership they pay for - Nomad, Warrior, or Hunter.
The packages vary in price from $220 to $665 and include food, accommodation, a donation to local villages, and an island "passport." The island has no shops or electricity and the first batch of arrivals will have to build their accommodation - probably thatched huts known in Fiji as bures - from the ground up.
