I have just returned from Palu in Sulawesi where I saw many wonderful sights, one of which was a little wooden shack out at sea.
Around a mile from the mainland, one man lives alone in this shack alongside a small sand dune where he can walk around and admire his view. Or perhaps do a bit of snorkelling if he fancies it!
I didn't see any solar panels so I imagine he has only candles to light his 'home' at night.
His home is actually anchored to the seabed and floats when the tide is high. I can only imagine what it must be like when there is a storm!
What a great way to live.
...if you are into solitude, meditation & seafood :)
What a way to live! Imagine living in a place like this for a short while to find inspiration to produce something, a book, an album..

I could manage as long as I have a PC and a stable internet connection.
Without that I would go crazier than Tom Hanks in Castaway. xD

I guess I can too.. Maybe. I think I need human interaction but at least a laptop and an Internet can be a substitute for that.
And true.. If there is no Internet I'd go full on "WILSON!!!"

For sure that would be a great way to use the time! I wasn't able to communicate with him so have no idea what he actually spends his time doing.
He seemed very happy though ;)

It's a huge island Sulawesi. So many beautiful places, mostly undiscovered by the tourism industry still. I will be going back with my family for sure :)

Thanks for the link but I prefer to focus my attention on all the wonderful things that may happen to my children as they grow up. We live in a vibrational universe where like attracts like. So we must be conscious of our thoughts at all times. Awareness is one thing. Spending time focused on it is another.
I appreciate you are trying to help.
I will say that it looks like a well constructed article. But my advice would be to go for a more uplifting subject next time :)

No income tax, no property tax. What a way!
But I guess not internet connection too means no steemit.

Haha! Yes, for sure no steemit for him. Though if I ever return I will bring him a solar panel and a phone :)

I already have the perfect product in mind for him. This kit costs only $20. The battery runs the torch/lamp and anything that charges off USB.
Pretty neat eh. Am currently making films for this company and should be able to get my hands on some free kits ;)

I will sell them in the @steemshop account once I get a bit more organised on that front. For now i think this is the best link for their products: http://sundaya.com
There is a new website coming soon... With lots of my films to demonstrate how everything works.

I like the idea of isolated locations, but this might be a bit much even for me. I agree with you a storm would probably be the least fun one could have while living in that location.

Thanks for the comment. A solar panel would go a long way in making life a bit easier. And a light & phone to go with it :) There was a 3G signal there, so he could even have a computer if he wanted! Though clearly, money was not something he had much of.
A wonderful thing to see. Hope to return to him one day with that solar panel :)

I like people living close to nature far from culture and lifestyles. To be honest, I do not know if I could respond by living under such conditions. For a little bit like that. They are really worthy!
