A man threw everything and left for his own uninhabited island!9 photos

Forty-year-old Englishman Brendon Grimshaw once, in 1973, quit his job as a newspaper editor and moved to his own uninhabited island in the Seychelles, where he started a whole new life. < br />

More than 50 years, the island was completely forgotten and abandoned, until he met his Robinson in the face of Brandon Grimshaw. The small island of Muayen (Moyenne Island) (only 480 meters long and 300 meters wide) in 1964 cost the Englishman 8000 pounds sterling.

Then the island could not boast of fertile soil and diverse fauna. For forty years, Grimshaw and his assistant, Rene Antoine Lafortune, restored the valuable nature on this small piece of land.

How wonderful this forgotten corner was when tropical trees grew across the surface, thousands of local birds and animals found their home, and comfortable walking paths 5 kilometers long appeared. He seemed to have come to life and become rich every day, increasing his value.

Hundreds of giant turtles, which were almost wiped out in the Seychelles, have become the real treasure of the island. It was here that their life flourished and gave the island the status of a national reserve in 2008.

This place is so famous that it began to attract foreign tourists, and Brendon Grimshaw himself even received an offer to sell his house for $ 45 million. Of course, the Briton refused, because what he created is not worth any money.

Even after his death in 2012, the island remained the same incarnation of heaven on earth.
