I live on a very remote island — here’s why you should move here
NY Post
Sea la vie — a 21-year-old woman is sharing what life is like on Pitcairn Island, a remote spot in the South Pacific that only has about 50 residents.
“This place is paradise,” Torika Christian told the Daily Mail this week. “We welcome everyone with open arms and after spending some time away, I know that I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”
Christian often gives her 1,300 TikTok followers a peek at her extraordinary island life.
Measuring just 2 miles long and 1 mile wide, Pitcairn doesn’t have an airstrip, so access is limited to infrequent boat service.
“Here on Pitcairn, we have a supply ship called Silver Supporter that runs between the island and the Gambier Islands every week. This arrives on a Thursday and departs on a Sunday taking tourists and locals,” Christian explained to the Daily Mail, adding that the return cost for tourists is $3,400.
“If you don’t catch that Sunday ship then you have to wait another week,” she continued. “However, sometimes the wait can be up to five weeks as the same ship sails to New Zealand about every three months to bring mail, food supplies, medical supplies, and general cargo.”
