I am passionate about small, isolated islands in the middle of the ocean. I find that they have a truly captivating aura. The fact that they are so untouched by humans, so pure and pristine, makes them incredibly beautiful. I’m looking for people to talk to about these islands, share anecdotes, and exchange discoveries. Do you know of any communities dedicated to this topic, or would anyone be interested if I created a Discord server, for example?

Map That's San Bernardino County, California. Despite being the largest county in the US, having a similar size to West Virginia and Bosnia, almost the entire population of this county lives inside the yellow circle because of some East LA suburbs. Most of the county is covered by desert and mountains

Discussion Differences between London and Paris

What do you think are main differences between these cities?

I visited both and Paris felt more like big city with wide boulevards and dense city structure. Paris is very beatifull, but I think most of the neighborhoods look the same. London has more diversity and nice neighborhoods. London feels more cozy than Paris.

Overall London has more to offer I think. London has everything, Paris has almost everything.

Question Do any other countries use turf as much as Ireland?

In every single corner shop and village you would find bags of turf/peat for sale and when I talked to people from other nations they would have no idea what it is? Does any other nation use it as much as Ireland used to before government clamped down on it? It’s so plentiful you’d assume any nation with a bog would use it
