Every morning when I wake up, the warm breeze and turquoise sea water seem to make my wonderful day even better. The chirping of the birds and the bright sunshine enlighten my morning in such a lovely Paradise in the Bahamas. That is why I love staying on a tropical island for the rest of my life. Since the island is sparsely populated, I can avoid getting stuck on the road, going to a supermarket or restaurant to enjoy my afternoon. In addition, there's never any snow or big storm in such a fantastic place. The only thing I have to worry about would be the lack of friends and family in the area because they simply cannot afford to live there for a very long time.  

I really don't like people. Most of them are so annoying they interfere with my day to day life every minute and seconds. Sometimes I try to hide in my dungeon and escape from all their nonsense. That is why I chose to live in Antarctica inside an igloo and spend the rest of my life with a whole bunch of penguins. Nobody will ever want to travel to Antarctica. There are no commercial planes or highways to get there from the south tip of South America, or New Zealand. It is ever so peaceful and quiet and I can always get my shotgun and hunt for walruses, Seals or fish for my dinner every week. Imagine how long it will last me if I hunt down 500 pounds of walrus? I can't wait to live inside an igloo with my Penguins friends.
