I love it. This is so my thing! I've spent hours and hours on the map virtually, hopping around weird random islands and atolls.

I'm obsessed with weird Islands, and I've been to many: in the Caribbean, Mauritius, Cannarys, Madeiras, Malta, Antarctica, Svalbard, and many across SE Asia.

My wish list: - Midway Atoll

- Pitcairn Islands

- Easter Island

- Faroe Islands

- Wrangel Island

- Sao Tome - Chatham Island

I could go on for a long time.



Same, Google Earth has been a rabbit hole for me. One of my favorites is Caroline Island in Kiribati (no, never been there)

If I were a billionaire, I'd be on my boat headed there just to see what it's like. There's nothing there, but it looks amazing from above. I've seen a few videos of people visiting it, but I still want to go there.


I also kinda love the thought of seeing untouched nature, like there have probably only been a handful of people there.


Try millionaire. If you were a billionaire your whole conscience would have been snuffed into lifelessness from all the economic exploitation you've engaged in to get there, and thus you wouldn't be able to find any deep meaning in the experience

No one deserves or can benefit from $1B beyond the shimmera of delusional self-aggrandizement



Do you keep a blog? I'd love to read it, if so.
