If you are American you need a visa to stay longer than 3 months. You can only get a visa if you are working there or are a student which is difficult in both cases.
If you ventured to Atiu first to get a feel for the land, the people and the way they do things then you'll sort of understand how you could perhaps fit in to the local life style. I'm not sure that tourists fly in DAILY, but there are planes that fly there obviously and it just depends if there'll be tourists on them. I personally haven't been to Aitu itself, but have been to a few of the outer islands. Yes, tourism is the Pacific's main income I believe. In Aitu they also grow coffee.
well yeah, that would be the point really, to get away and 'live off the land' so to speak.
i'm just curious how the locals would take to a new non-native person living there.
how big is the tourism on atiu? do tourists fly in daily? is it the main income of aitu? i know it makes up a large portion of raros economy, but i'm wondering about aitu
If you're serious about moving to Atiu, many of the mod-cons that you might be used to may or may not be there and if they are, don't think it'll work all the time. I'm trying to put you off but that's the reality. Rarotonga is as modern as the Cooks is. The further you travel out of Rarotonga, the slower life becomes. I reckon you should holiday there first, then see what you think. An old tourism saying for the Cooks was 'A special place, a special people, a special magic.' Enchanting place!
