Current events and the stress of the world and life weighing you down? Take a vacation of the mind this week with us to Tristan da Cunha, a South Atlantic volcanic island farther from anywhere and anyone than any other place in the world. Settled in the early 1800s, this island was home to a handful of people. Through isolation, limited resources, and natural disasters the people of Tristan da Cunha have survived for over 200 years and their numbers have grown - but only just. 222 people currently live on the island - but they have never opened their doors to new residents. Centuries of seclusion have led to the island’s current population descending from just a handful of ancestors.
