While the rest of the world was inside, one vlogger spent the past two months on Yemen's remote island of Socotra -- a 3,625 square kilometer desert paradise 60 miles east of the Horn of Africa. The only catch? She has no idea when she'll be able to leave
It's 5.30 a.m. on Yemen's remote island of Socotra, a 3,625 square kilometer desert paradise 60 miles east of the Horn of Africa.is out of her tent and at the water's edge.
The travel vlogger, along with 40 other international tourists, arrived that day to take part in Socotra's first-ever marathon event and was due to stay for two weeks. With permission from Socotri officials, Zu Beck and four other tourists decided to stay. The rest, including Zu Beck's Canadian boyfriend, returned to Cairo on the last flight out of Socotra.
With the last flight gone and with no signs of borders reopening, Zu Beck settled right into island life. Local hospitality has allowed her to keep costs down while living in Socotra, a destination which, due to its remote location and lack of tourist infrastructure, is notoriously expensive to visit.
"There are no social distancing or lockdown measures on Socotra," says Zu Beck."We are free to visit friends and move around as we please. It's as if we're in a parallel universe." "The Wi-Fi isn't strong enough for Skype or Facetime, and power cuts are common," she says."I have to make do with just an ordinary telephone call whenever I have signal. I miss them all dearly."
