The Real-Life Robinson Crusoe

All I can say is that I want to be this man. What a life, eh? The 86-year-old English man, Brendon Grimshaw has lived alone for years on the tiny island of Moyenne in the Seychelles. He has managed to create his own paradise when he bought the island in 1962 for £8000. Yes £8000. That's less than a fancy car.

However, while he may own a piece of palm tree'd paradise that many merely dream about, his days are far from filled with cocktail sipping and sunbathing relaxation. Instead, the Yorkshire man has spent the years reintroducing the indigenous giant tortoise to Moyenne, and now shares his home with 120 of them. It has now become on of the world's smallest national parks.

What a guy. Not only does he live in paradise, but he also spends his time doing something worth while, and giving something back. Isn't that the ultimate goal, and what we all want in life?

All I know is I want his phone number. Can I be Friday?
