Life in Fiji
Hello. My name is . I live in Fiji….actually, it is an uncharted island a couple hundred miles from Fiji.
Life in "Fiji" as a hermit isn't too bad. I prefer the term "nomad", however. Fiji is in a tropical climate, so I see a lot of heat and even more rain. My house is in the trees to keep the local wildlife from moving in. I do, however have a pet goat, which I use for milk and, I would like to add, I caught myself. I use palm leaves as my roof on my house, and it is mostly made from bamboo. I can use fruits for food and drink and tools even. One of my favorites is the coconut. You can eat the meat, drink the milk, then carve out the shell and use it for a shovel or a bowl, or whatever. Also, for my meat protein, I dig hole traps. I basically stay in one area. The island is about one square mile, if even.
During the summer I see a lot of monsoons. That’s from December to June. That is when it is really hot and humid. The rest of the seasons are hard to tell the difference between the other seasons.
Most of the time when I'm not trying to gather food or keep my goat fed I enjoy creating small boats and racing them in the tide, fishing, although there isn't much to eat in these waters, besides jellyfish, poisonous rockfish, and other atrocities. Although, I could catch a tropical sunfish if I could make a strong enough rod. I am also always trying to catch young animals to raise as pets. There are so many types of animals and insects here too. I have been trying to catalogue every single one. So far I have seen over 200 different types of animals and insects. Also, while on hikes I keep a catalogue of plants that I've seen.
