But there is a beautiful island in the world that is looking for island owners, and as an island owner there, you can not only eat seafood and lobsters as you like, but also get super high rewards.

This small island is Handa Island in Scotland. Handa Island belongs to the Atlantic Ocean and covers an area of ??3.09 square kilometers. In the 16th century, some fishermen originally lived here, but in 1848, they all left because of a famine. Since then, Handa Island has become an uninhabited island. Later, the place was rented by the RSPB, an institution that studies seawater and birds, for 25 years. Later, Handa Island was taken over by the government because of its wildlife sanctuary.

Because of the unique geographical environment and climatic conditions here, marine life and birds like to live here. Every summer, more than 200,000 seabirds come here to breed the next generation. Because many of the animals that come here are rare animals and require special protection, this island needs an administrator to live here and observe the migration of animals.

As a result, Scotland released a recruitment for island owners around the world, and the salary for this recruitment was astronomical. The main content of the work is to protect and manage these small animals, and also entertain tourists who come here. Whether you want to have an idyllic life, or want to hide away from the world, or come to retire, as long as you come here as an island owner, you can get 145,000 pounds (about 1.28 million yuan) a year, but there are One prerequisite is that you have to live there for 20 years.

If you have nothing to do here, you can plant them with the free seeds they provide. Some power generation and seawater desalination facilities can also be used casually. Because fishing boats are prohibited here, you can see a lot of seafood on the shore, and the seafood here is free for you to eat. And you can also sell these seafood and make some extra money.

Now this hermit island is gradually coming into people’s sight, and a large number of tourists come here every year. Because there are more seabirds in summer, the peak tourist season of the year is summer. By then, when it was busy, it could even receive 150 tourists a day. The main sightseeing project here is to see various seabirds. The island owner will be a little busy during this time, and the rest of the free time can be allocated as you wish. However, there are still conditions for applying as an island owner. Recruitment only accepts couples or single people, and they must be in good health.

So far, there are many volunteers going here to help on this small island. Although this is a hugely expensive recruitment, there is still no official owner yet. But after many netizens learned about such a place, they were very excited, jokingly saying that they could live in it until it goes bankrupt! However, it is still very difficult for many people to get such a high salary after living there for 20 years, and not everyone can do it.
