It is effecting me directly. This is my dream woman....everything about her is perfect except the alcoholism. I was an alcoholic and currently my mother is one. I've started to abhor alcohol.

Nice plan -  but its very hard to truly escape the rat race these days.

I've got a large piece of land on an island - only way to get there is by charter plane or boat. It was partially a speculative investment (was cheap at the time anyway), but also kind of had a plan to build a low-cost holiday house there one day. So far, there's only a lighthouse, an airstrip and a few shacks on the island. In the meantime I've been living on various tropical islands in the Pacific for the last few years - hard to beat the lifestyle!

Stick with the plan bro - make that shit happen!


You've experienced island life? That's awesome man. I've done too but in much moderation.
I don't think you need to quit the rat race for what I am asking. I already mentioned that its not like I am cutting myself off from society. The island I will purchase is on the Pacifica rim near Vancouver island, a ferry ride away from metropolitan Vancouver. And I don't want to quit the rat race in that I think money will always be a requisite. But a month or a 2 week getaway every six months won't do anyone any harm. It'll be a way to unwind. I have a massive book collection and I plan to buy every book I find on psychedelics, mythology, arts and what not. Anyone can come and read and get enlightened by the likes of Alan Watts and Timothy Leary and Terence Mckenna and Carl Sagan.
I will try to build an observatory, or at the very least install a very good telescope.
I am learning the art of farming and can paddy rice at this stage. Why not grow my own ganja?
The only hindrance is cost, and if done rationally I think it'll be cheaper than living in the city.
Can I survive without my playstation and internet? I could.
It will become like a society which will only expand hopefully. You will tell your friend and on and on. Ultimately the collective conscious of everyone will think and realize it should be experienced. I wonder why anyone hasn't done something like this already.

You won't believe it but I will say it anyway. Have you heard of the maverick British billionaire Richard Branson? Well, my father is in contact with his daughter Holly. I told Holly about my outrageous idea through an e-mail asking her if I can meet her father and he could tutor me in "the ways of survival in your own island". I  got a response back!

Eventually I'd want to get away from this race, the traffic jams and egos and fake pride. But I'll take it a step at a time.

Sounds great... But you promise you're not luring hippies to a privatized island with notions of freedom and drugs just to murder rape us? :lol: sorry.

In all seriousness, if you're the real deal, a man with a dream and the ambition and funds to pull it off, it sounds like every tripper's dream vaca. Certainly sounds like one of mine. Give us a holla once you've bought the island and put your plan into action, I'd love to hear about it.

Also, on a side note, the fact that you used the word "brainwash" is a tad concerning. There are a lot of negative connotations to that word, as positive as your intentions might be. You should probably refrain from using words like that when you're talking about establishing your own free society on a private island. A spiritual retreat sounds wonderful, but if you're not careful, people might think you're trying to start a cult.

Just out of curiosity, what is the island going to cost you?

Cool. Richard Branson owns a bunch of islands with luxurious getaways - including near Noosa in Australia, and of course, the British Virgin Islands. I'm not aiming for that kind of lifestyle, but just enough to keep my and the GF happy.

Over the past 10 or so years I've lived in Vanuatu, Samoa, Solomon Islands amongst other places, and currently living in Micronesia - seen plenty of sweet islands go cheap (10ha tropical island in Vanuatu for USD250k anyone?), but there's always a catch or three in the small print and transportation is always very pricey (hiring barges for bulk building materials, for example). Off Vancouver sounds pretty cool - too cold for my liking, but has all the things that other places seem to lack (eg. stable government, robust legal system, defined and enforceable land titling/leasing etc).

Do it. Peace out/
