i wonder how many people decided to one day, pack up, leave their life, friends & family, connection, & convenience far behind to live alone in the wilderness of alaska or anywhere in the wild frozen north.

how many are actually out there doing this, we will never know about it.

I did the warm weather version. Packed up and went to a tropical Asian island. Lasted 6 months before a new life started...

that sounds like an adventure! was it like the movie, the island?

I was about to joke and say Yes, I was DiCaprio. And then I remembered I did accidentally get semi-involved accidentally and indirectly with the Asian mafia where things got a little sketchy for a while. Nothing like the movie though. I'd do it again though. Freedom, tossing away material baggage, is liberating, like abandoning monkeys on your back. Not sure about Alaska though--sounds like a tough life.

lol you absolutely have great stories to tell your grandkids one day

i think everyone needs a liberating experience like that. survive only with what they have on their backs & their wits. i’m not sure where I would go & when, but i know i will do it one day

Go somewhere warm, and culturally the opposite of what's normal for you. Good luck šŸ˜‰šŸ‘šŸ»

definitely anywhere in asia or latin america & near the ocean or sea

D'oh. Just realised you said The Island and I was thinking The Beach.

Warm weather is easier to live with and also means you'll go out more, as will everyone, so helps with social encounters etc. I'm jealous, go for it. You only die once šŸ˜‚

omg, good catch! lol

i meant the beach with leonardo! it's hilarious that you knew what i meant even thought i got the location entirely wrong

We might be telepathic. Quick, what am I thinking now? šŸ˜‚

beaches & bitches? lol

lol!! Snap! šŸ˜‚
