Unrelated to the discussion, but I love these kinds of backup plans. I've found that most guys I talk to have one. Just a few days ago a guy was telling me that, if his beloved wife ever divorces him, then he'd move to a tropical island and become a coconut seller.

(My personal plan: find a small town in the Sonoran Desert that has a good library, dig a hole under a nice big Saguaro cactus, then live out my days reading library books in my cool and shady cave.)

Is it hard to date living under a cactus?

Yes, that's where living under a date palm is better.

Nah dating under a cactus is easy: just don't be a prick.

it must be easier than dating on top of a cactus

The future seems very uncertain right now and we are living in weird times. Its always a good idea to have a backup plan in case your career path doesn't work out!

Mine is forrest fire fighter. Surely with climate change there will not be a shortage of work, and while dangerous and bad for you, it seems kind of fun.

Is there a visa for that? Doesn't seem feasible unless he lives in a country that has a tropical island already.

Due the compact free association, US citizen can permanently settle to live and work in Micronesia with no visa or even any real checks other than a quick look at the passport.
