Living on a desert island

2008-07-24

Björn and Lykke Peturssen on the desert island Koltur, Färöarna Denmark. Björn was working as a bankmanager when he one day said to his wife Lycke "Do you want to move to the desert island Koltur with me?" They have been living on the island for eleven years now. Working with farming and some tourism the year around, they have a good life but they don´t make any big money. "it´s a lifestyle, we never feel alone and have everything we need here on the island", says Björn
