The man dropped everything and went to a private desert island
Forty Englishman Brendon Grimshaw (Brendon Grimshaw) once, in 1973, quit his job and newspaper editor moved on its own uninhabited island in the Seychelles, where he started a whole new life.
Inspired by his action, Website has decided to share this unusual story.
More than 50 years the island has been completely forgotten and abandoned, until he met Robinson in his face Brendon Grimshaw. The small island of Muay (Moyenne Island) (total 480 meters in length and 300 meters wide) in 1964 cost the Englishman at £ 8,000.
Then, the island could not boast fertile soil and diverse fauna. For forty years, Grimshaw and his assistant Rene Antoine Lafortun (Rene Antoine Lafortune) restored the valuable nature of this small piece of land.
What a wonderful become the forgotten corner, when the entire surface of the grown tropical trees, found his house thousands of local birds and animals that were comfortable for walking trails length of 5 kilometers. He seemed to come to life and become richer with each passing day, multiplying its value.
The real treasure of the island began hundreds of giant tortoises that the Seychelles were almost exterminated. Here flourished their lives and gave the island as a national reserve in 2008.
This place is so famous, that was to attract foreign tourists, and the Brendon Grimshaw even received an offer to sell your home for $ 45 million. Of course the Briton refused, because what he had created, not worth any money.
Even after his death in 2012, the island has remained the same embodiment of heaven on earth.
