Actually, I kinda prefer Autumn better than Winter now,
seriously, it gets too cold where I live (South Carolina.)
However, I can enjoy all the seasons.
Still, I doubt I will ever go to Fakarava, considering my phobia of flying, and well, I also doubt that I can even live there without some sort of proper greencard(?)
Biggest question about living in a society like that is what can you contribute? I was a fisherman and 3 days a week I went out with the other fishermen and we speared enough fish, in shark filled waters, by the way, for everyone in the village to eat. Twice a week, my wife helped bake the bread for everyone.
When I was there you could only get there by boat, a 2 or 3 day ocean trip. Also, it was an un-administered part of French Polynesia, so there was no customs or immigration; one could stay as long as one wanted.
I just checked it out online and there are over 800 people there now, so I'm guessing things have changed a great deal. What a shame; it was paradise to me.
Where in SC, I lived in Charleston City Marina for a number of years.
What do you think about money?

It was (is) called Fakarava, in the Tuamotu Archipelago.
Probably not a place you'd enjoy, "Ilovewinter"; very tropical.
