I think a lot of people in the West have a fantasy about living on a tropical island. It may have something to do with certain stories, movies and/or TV shows that romanticize the lifestyle. The reality is very different. You had an idea going in and you have proved it, at least, to yourself. 20 years ago I had a similar fantasy. Many subsequent visits combined with living "Pinoy style" have taken care of that. Bugs, storms, floods, earthquakes, pollution and lack of conveniences are some. If you combine that with nothing to do and nobody to talk to you will likely be very unhappy. On the other hand, if you like the simple life, have friends and family available and a vocation or other work it can be very satisfying. Good luck on your journey. I wish you every success in the future. Hello again.
