In 2013 I moved from Portland, Oregon, to Aitutaki in the Cook Islands after college for four months to teach English. It’s a tiny island of about 2,000 people.
Being alone without my friends or family gave me anxiety bad enough to turn to medication. However, I didn’t want this experience to stop me from traveling.
The Cook Islands planted a seed of living in a remote destination, but I knew it would have to be more populated.
