Leandro:When you said you got a plum job working abroad, I thought you were going to Europe or Asia.

Where exactly is Hueller Island?

Alysson:It's in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Here, I'll show you on the map.

Leandro:Wow, I had no idea you'd be working in such a far-flung place.

It's a bit remote, isn't it?

Alysson:It is, but it's also unspoiled and beautiful.

I've seen photos and it looks like my idea of paradise.

See? After I get settled, you should come for a visit.

Leandro:It looks a little desolate. Is it hard to get to?

Alysson:You would need to take a 19-hour flight from here to the mainland and then a two-day boat ride to reach it.

Leandro:Aren't you worried about living in such isolation?

It's so far from civilization.

Alysson:There are other people living on the island, you know, so it's not like I wouldn't see another living soul for days.

Leandro:Oh, I'm glad there's a community living there.

What is the population of Hueller Island?

Alysson:It's small, which isn't unusual for an island this size.

Leandro:How small?

Alysson:When I move there, it'll increase to seven.

And if you visit, you'll make eight.

Leandro:I'll give the idea of that trip all the consideration it deserves.
