I Live Alone in an Island Paradise

- In 1989, Mauro Morandi’s boat docked on Budelli Island off the northern coast of Sardinia, Italy. Discovering that the island’s caretaker was retiring within the next two days, Mauro decided to extend his stay indefinitely and step into the role himself. Little did he know that, nearly 30 years later, he would still be there. Mauro has built a small, simple life for himself on the island, collecting rain for drinking water, and building solar panels for electricity. Living alone, his love for his island paradise runs deep, and he hopes to stay as long as his health allows it.

“It took 10,000 years to make this beach. Mankind has destroyed it in 20.”
I found this so powerful and sad
Yeah me too
The beach will go on for trillions of years missing some pink sand and maybe producing some different colors along the way or changing into a desert. This man's bitterness has at best another 20.
I found you beyond sensitive and clueless for not realizing it was a pathetic and desperate grab for attention. At least he fooled you!
"This Earth is 4.6 billion years old, man built a house on it in 6 months."
We can all help it but everyone is too lazy too do anything
“Beauty is where there are no people” damn that hit me
we live in a society
Sure. But it's only partly true. Besides, he's not all alone. Ask anyone who has been in the wilderness for some time all be them self. It's not natural and very unhealthy.
Ok... space
I dont think thats normal. The core need of human beings is to belong to a group and social support.
@@pyramusk3264 I don't care. I think appreciating nature more than how we live in a society.
Imagine reading the books being uninterrupted, the sound of the waves and the wind. Yup, paradise

@Fellow TH-cam Commenter idk if that’s meant to be sarcasm or not..but it’s actually true 💀
I'm italian and I met this men when I came to that island sailing. We had a long talk together and it's been one of the most incredible experiences in my life. It really moved me to tears!
Does he own the island? How does it work?
What's his story before the island? I am curious about this talk, many learnings for sure!
Wow. That is so fascinating. I can imagine the impact that time with him meant to you. It should be documented. What does he eat? Do people bring him more books to read?
Fryle wow that’s amazing!!!! Sounds like a beautiful experience.
YT BTW yes that’s what i was wondering too, what prevents many people from traveling there and ruining it
“It took 10,000 years to make this beach. Mankind has destroyed it in 20.”
Man, that hit hard.

So what?
Things change.
@@48956l were you speaking to OP or?
48956l yea stfu
48956l Things changed because of humanity. If people didn’t keep collecting the sand, it would still be here. The “so what” is that man-kind fucks things up.
imagine. waking up to the sound of waves and this beautiful sunshine everyday. and when night falls, you sit on the beach and look up to see a sky full of stars.
Maybe with ur partner

And about absence of other people that can infect him.
Because he’s away from people and their germs, away from all the stress, anger and depression of life, and he doesn’t have access to all the junky food you see in grocery stores with preservatives, gmos and all this fatty junk in it. He also doesn’t have access to fast food, which can make you sick and decrease your life span.

Nothing. It's not a secret my man. When you have found ultimate peace. You don't need anything or anyone. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what the world and people are like.
Thats not to say there can't be good people and whatever. It just means that some people know themselves too well and are comfortable with themselves so much so that there isn't a need for anybody else. They want to be around anything and everything that isn't just like themselves.

When you love simplicity, honesty and truth, you don't end up not yearning for the company of humans, but the embrace of nature.
I would argue that, of course some people like to be alone, but there is nothing wrong with liking people as well. I personally am very eco-concscious and love spending time with nature, picking up transh as I go, but I also love my friends and spending time with them.
@@dirt1688 True. There is nothing wrong spending time with people. But it is always best to learn to live comfortably in solitude or being "alone". In our time, loneliness is not a matter of being physically isolated. We have a pandemic of superficial over-connected people -- people now feel lonelier even in a group, having lots of friends, lots of sex partners/encounters and in even having numerous group activities -- all to keep up with the appearance of being sociable. It's good to have a few authentic friends. *It's even better if that best friend is yourself.*

As an Italian, I loved this video but I feel sad that the actual history of Butelli was not covered at all, so there are some facts about this beautiful island:
- The only period in which the island was inabitated was in prehistoric eras, no modern settlement has ever been established on it.
- The 'Pink Beach' that you see briefly on video owes its magnificent color to the shells of Miniacina miniacea, a foraminifera that lives in the habitat around the rhizomes of Posidonia oceanica, the most important flora in the Mediterranean Sea. Over time, however, the beach has lost almost completely its color due to the human behaviour explained in the video. In 1994, the Pink Beach has been put under severe regulations, and now is forbidden to access, walk, rest and even swim near it. In recent years, the park has given the possibility to visitors to walk on the hill that surround the beach, and boats have to stop at least 70 meters away from the shore.
- Since 1800, the island had been private property, sold and brought by several people over the years, until a New Zealand man made an offer to buy it in 2015. All of sudden, a national campain started to prevent Butelli from being brought once again, in order to preserve its beauty (even if the new buyer had promised to mantain all the rules that were already established to preserve the natural state of the island). In the end, a sum of 3 million euro was put together to add the island to the already pre-existing National Park of the Maddalena Archipelago, but since then Mauro Morandi, the man in the video, has reported the fact that the Italian government is not taking care of the island at all, especially regarding the matter of the plastic waste that comes from the sea.
Thank you!
what does neozeland mean? o
I meant to write 'new zealand' but my phone messed it up. Correction is up now.
You misunderstood me. What I meant it's that the italian goverment refuses to clean the plastic that washes up to the shores of the island, despite the entire zone should be cleaned regularly according to the current rules. Mauro is the only person that actively takes care of the problem, but he is a one man and he can only do so much.

"Beauty is where there is no people"
Never in my life have I agreed so much with something another person said.
Same!
then why are you here observing a video about a person, and leaving a comment for other people?
@@franciscoandreatta5803 because these type of idiots probably living in a big city with no actual plan to go and live in isolation love to brag about how they like to be lonely when reality is they have no social skills whatsoever so in order to fill the void in their soul they post comments for the world to see to tell people how they dislike interaction.
Do you feel it? The overwhelming intelligence of such comments?

His christmas tree is so Depressing..he has hanged all plastics thrown in to the sea & says dont u think humans are so generous they give this to the sea :-(
he was being sarcastic. Look where he says how long it took the universe to create Nature, and how fast we are destroying it.
perhaps a bit of sarcasm?
Yes, so much garbage in the water 😔

To truly know ones self is true wisdom and pure happiness.

Great story but so much left uncovered. Please do a part 2!Would have been interesting to hear about his life before, what was his profession, did he have family, what happened to them, why he didn't want to talk to anyone for years, how did he find the island (besides "by chance"). Also how does he live? Does hunt or fish? What kind of fruit and veg grown on the island? What about the plants he takes care of? Where would he go if his health deteriorated and he had to leave?

Ed Sant so what you’re saying is we’re floating as auras out there, all alone, until one day after an indeterminate period of time our aura finds a body to occupy for a while, have a variety of social interactions and community experiences, then die, and our auras become alone again? And someone/something “designed” us to be this way? Why? Sounds cruel and serves no purpose...

He is not being driven out of his island paradise, Sunlight. You are confusing him with Dave Glasheen, an Australian who lives alone on a desert island called Cairns. HE is the one being driven out.
@@daisychain3007 The italian government retook control of the island from private owners, and I believe they had plans to remove him
@@tacotimmer8288 If I had spent 30 years on that island, they would have to kill me to remove me. The life's final act of defiance.

@@tacotimmer8288 No, it's all I would know. No point going on after being in paradise. Has nothing to do with being bad ass.
This is the first time i got jealous of someone's life. I want to live in an island too, all by myself, with books and coffee and that fantastic view.
Lord of the introverts 🙏
He really isn’t
But not to be evil he is a big extremist last time I went there he criticized me because I was wearing Nike tee shirt and havaianas
