Living in a Village Hut on the Island of Ovalau in Fiji

Drawn by a desire for slow island travel, Canadian writer Laurie Gough left conventional routines to live in the traditional Fijian village of Lovoni on the island of Ovalau. Living in a thatched bure without electricity, Gough immersed herself in village life, communal farming, and local customs.

Her memoir documents the rhythms of South Pacific island living, reflections on solitude, and cross-cultural friendships forged in the Fijian hinterland.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Laurie Gough presents authentic observations of Fijian village customs, South Pacific island life, and solo travel. An engaging memoir for travel readers, island enthusiasts, and cultural travel fans.
