Italy has the worst covid-19 problem in Europe, but one octogenarian said he was in the "safest place in the world". It turned out that he had lived on the island for 31 years. The old man said that he had never felt lonely, and he also shared some ways to relieve his loneliness.
This old man Moran accidentally discovered Budelli Island when sailing 31 years ago. He immediately fell in love with the pollution-free natural environment there. Although the area is only 1.6 square kilometers, it is part of the national park.
Moran took over the post after the death of the caretaker of the island and began a life of his own, known as "modern Robinson".
According to CNN, Moran said that he was not afraid of covid-19. "I feel safe here. The island gives me full protection. No one comes here, not even a boat can be seen. There is no risk."
However, Moran is rather worried about his relatives and friends living in the interior of Italy. "They are facing difficult times."
Before the outbreak, tourists occasionally came to the island and Moran would accompany them on a one-day tour, but now the Italian government strictly controls it, which means that he will not get any food from the island. Moran spent his time enjoying the sea view, breathing fresh air, collecting wood and preparing his own meals.
Moran said: "I'm bored, so I spend time taking photos of beaches, wildlife and scenery, and then I post them on the Internet. Many people watch them." No one has landed on the island in the near future, and he is not worried.
Moran said that he spends every winter in his house, spending most of his time in the porch. It is absurd to think that some people cannot even stay at home for 14 days. He said: "I read a lot of books and then thought. Perhaps many people are afraid of reading because it will make them start thinking. " He said that he had changed from a person who travels every year to a caretaker of an isolated island. He no longer wanted to travel but never felt lonely.
