Location: Tiny Island. Population: YOU
Why some people move to remote islands.
It鈥檚 something you might dream of - or only see in films or read in books - moving to a remote island in the middle of the sea. Only wildlife around you. No bars or clubs and barely any people!
Sound like a bit of you? Or maybe it鈥檚 your worst nightmare. We speak to 麻豆社 reporter Georgina Rannard, about why she鈥檚 swapping city life to be a farmer on an island in Wales with only three other people. We also hear tips from people that鈥檝e done similar things. Jaleesah lives on Siquijor in the Philippines and Tom works on a research station in Antarctica.
