SLOW LIVING - FAMILY lives ISOLATED LIFE

Eva and her family live an isolated life on the remote island of Stóra Dímun, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. While they are geographically isolated, they never feel lonely.

'Loneliness is not dependent on if you are alone or have people around you. It's a feeling you have inside.' - Eva úr Dímun

For Eva it's the small things, those small good moments, that are important in life.

She is rich in a way that unfortunately, a lot of people would not understand. What a genuine and fulfilled way to live.

[cameronlloren]

As an introvert who loves nature this is heaven for me

[hopeborgmann]

Great reminder that aloneness does not equal loneliness.

[SaugotChowdhury]

She rightly said, "we are geographically isolated, but to feel lonely is different.". I am an Indian, with cities full of people, yet I feel lonely.

[richardking]

This lady has got it made. In my opinion she's the RICHEST person on earth.

[Maj]

That is called inner peace, a feeling of unexplained peace and joy within ourself that money can't buy.

[clt]

You can feel lonely even when you are surrounded by people.
She doesn't feel lonely because she is surrounded by the richness of life.
Good for her👍

" To feel lonely, that's something else. That's a feeling, and that doesn't depend on if you're alone or having people among you. that's a feeling that you have inside"- very deep and very right i love it

[DarkAmbientRadio]

Whenever I hear people that decide to live lives like this, they almost always sound really intelligent and like they ponder things deeply. I think this is no coincidence.

[VB-hfjs]

"Just go out and put one foot in front of the other and something happens" - such a lovely thing to hear, especially when living with bad depression

[nikhil.k]

Huge respect for this lady. She is living a reality life whiles others are domesticated or tamed to live in a illusionary world. Nature beauty is the best pleasure.

[lifeslessons]

Solid family unit ..no resentment no aggravation no competition no jealousy..just love and respect. How utterly wonderful

[udaypamphilos]

Her words really made sense more than anything - "When we sit around the table. i will not see a phone. They have to feel the importance of just being with other people directly". Beautiful!

[sallydoz]

I'm watching this on my android phone on YouTube somewhere in West Africa. I think I'm rich too. I can get to her in her wonder land where we cannot all be. The most important thing is for us to be satisfied where we all are and make the best out of our worlds.

I bought a farm in the rural part of northern Wisconsin 4 years ago and it’s the best idea I ever had.

[matteoj]

This woman, and her lovely family, have discovered the meaning of life. To live in peace and harmony with nature. With the sun on her face. It looks like heaven.

[awakenthegreatnesswithin]

“Do what makes you happy.”

“To feel lonely is a feeling you have inside.”

[cazpk]

The world is too noisy nowadays. This family lives in paradise. They have peace and quiet and they have each other.

[ottie]

This is my dreamlife: far from noisy, rude neighbours!

[aceyboy]

She inherited that island from 8 generations of family. If I had a massive island given to me I wouldn't leave it either, but I have to work my ass off.
