Comment on What life looks like on the most remote inhabited islandparent

Comments

Ok, so I am not the only one looking at google maps (also to Santa Helena) and imagining how it is to live there. Must be some kind of introspective hobby to fantasize about living on remote islands.

There is a term “islandness” which may help to explain the allure - and many research papers on the topic. For me it’s a “smallness” that is the ideal.
