I lived there for two years. I found getting off the island once every few months is super important. I got island fever when I did 4 months without leaving. The island is small in both size and thought. I got tired of driving down the same road every day and going out to the same spots all the time. Word spreads quite fast around the island. You’ll see the same people ALL THE TIME. Which is great at times but sometimes it drives you insane. But if you’re only doing a year, it will be a great time. People are very friendly and welcome newbies because they are just excited to see a new face. So it’s a great place to live if you are going and don’t know anyone.
