As many Canadians are learning to deal with a prolonged period of isolation, it’s something the only two people on Little Bay Islands opted for when they decided to remain in the small, island town.

Mike Parsons and his wife, Georgina Parsons, made the decision to be the only full-time inhabitants on Little Bay Island last year.

Now they’re some of the most isolated people in the province.

Mike Parsons says it has been surreal sitting on the outside, looking in from their own little bubble.

As someone who not only lives a life of isolation but who thoroughly enjoys it, Parsons offered some helpful advice for those not used to being alone.

He says coming up with a routine and trying to stick to it every day helps pass the time and provides a sense of purpose.

They post updates on their blog “Kintsugi – Little Bay Islands” on Facebook.
