2. Palmerston, Cook Islands
The island is so isolated that it’s often regarded as the ‘island at the end of the world.’ About 150 years ago an Englishman settled there, and now there are some 62 descendants inhabiting the place. A supply ship visits the island twice a year through a life-threatening journey. A speck on the Pacific Ocean, the Cook Islands has access to modern amenities like electricity, telephones, and internet connected, but these are limited. The people on the island pride themselves of their British heritage and are generally warm, generous and hospitable.
