Bermuda is a British island territory stretching to 21 square miles, with lots of pink-sand beaches.
Be warned: the island life comes at a price. According to Numbeo:
Three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant: $150 (£121)
1 litre of regular milk: $4.06 (£3.30)
500g loaf of fresh white bread: $7.78 (£6.30)
One-way ticket on local transport: $4 (£3.20)
Basics for an 85m squared apartment: $264.17 (£213)
Monthly rent for one-bedroom flat: $3,315.62 (£2,673.50)
You’ll find co-working spaces in Hamilton but Bermuda doesn’t rank on Speedtest so your connection could be a tad patchy.
Expect to find fish chowder; a Bermuda Breakfast of codfish, potatoes, boiled eggs, avocado and banana; peas and rice; bread pudding; shark hash (sauteed shark liver with sherry peppers); and cassava pie.
