Whenever you feel the pressures of the city life, do you often get lost in reverie hoping that you’re relaxing in a beautiful and peaceful remote island?

If you’re a wanderlust and you desire some privacy and I mean privacy, you might want to check out this lovely island paradise called Pitcairn.

Pitcairn Islands Group is a British territory consisted of four small volcanic islands namely Ducie, Oeno, Henderson, and Pitcairn. However, only the latter is inhabited by people.

Pitcairn is a tiny island in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean.

You can locate their administrative headquarters in Auckland New Zealand, which is about 3300 miles away from Pitcairn. But if you wish to be their 49th resident you can pass your application form to the Island Council and the Governor.

The natives named Tony Probst, a world traveller, is the island's ambassador.

The locals permitted Probst to take photos and publish them for publicity purposes.

Their main source of income is tourism, but they do have a few other different jobs.

The people of Pitcairn's average income? Not more than $5,000.

The natives rely on generators for electricity, but it only stays on for two hours.

It is then shut off at 10 o'clock.

The tourists may have to spend over $100 a month if they wish to have electricity and use the internet; however, it will be worth the cost.

Because the island is not only breathtaking; it is safe as well.

The only cause of death in this peaceful haven is old age.
