I will start and say that my life goal is to eventually go to islands in the South Pacific. One day if possible I want to see the Pitcairn Islands and meet the people there. There's approx. 50 people who live on the island.

Today the Pitcairn Islands are among the last of the British Overseas Territories, and Pitcairn itself is home to fewer than 60 people. Many are the direct descendants of the Bounty’s Fletcher Christian, his fellow mutineers, and their Polynesian companions. They are the only inhabitants of an archipelago of four far-flung islands and atolls.
Due to their remoteness and low human population, these islands harbor marine wildlife in an almost pristine state, including intact deep-sea habitats with many species new to science.
There are many beautiful small island nations in the South Pacific which are of great interest to sailors, and theoretically could make an interesting expat prospect. I didn't look in great detail, but seemed like a number allowed dual citizenship. But they'd make a great travel destination regardless.
I have looked into them a little but never been there, but settled on other choices, but I think they're really interesting, and they are very beautiful for tropical island scenery.
Some of you may possibly have heard of the interesting isle of "Yap" where they famously used giant stone wheels (which they quarried out of neighboring island quarries and brought back to their own isle on canoes) as an interesting form of money.
Pitcairn interested me as a travel destination as well, after being a fan of the Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins film "Bounty."
