What is β€˜Triphibian’


Tri - phib - i - an / meaning across land, sea & air


Inspired by Amphibian, our name reflects our passion for the connection to the land, sea and air

Originally from Far North Queensland, we’ve packed up our old life and started fresh in Vanuatuβ€”trading comfort for adventure and turning a big dream into reality. From building our home to learning to live off-grid in the South Pacific, we’re sharing every step on YouTube. Expect weekly adventure videos and monthly long-form farm and build updates, all raw, real, and unfolding in real time. Follow along as we create a life from the ground up.

We’re building an ocean retreat on Aore Island, Vanuatu, and this channel documents the entire journey. From clearing land and building our home and accommodation, to creating a freediving and ocean adventure retreat in one of the most beautiful places in the Pacific.

Solwota will be a place for people who love the ocean β€” offering freediving courses, spearfishing adventures, island tours, and oceanfront stays overlooking the solwota (saltwater).

Follow along as we build our life here in Vanuatu, explore remote islands, dive incredible reefs, and share the reality of starting a project like this from the ground up.
