Wow, thanks so much for that post. I think I’ve found my new favourite site. No man is an island who owns one. It has a forum too!
Yeah, that site is great.
Even if you were to buy the island and build a house on it, upkeep and travel expenses would be insane. What do you think the expected yearly costs would be for running one?
I’ve been addicted to the site since finding it. I haven’t really thought about all the costs associated with running an island, but I expect that there are many unforseen expenses.
That said, I wouldn’t mind finding out!
