The Italian island of perpetual fire
BEST OF 2019 - Stromboli is the most remote of Italys seven Aeolian Islands. This summer, two major explosions shook the island, killing an Italian hiker and causing 70 people to be evacuated. Still, 300 residents chose to live directly under one of the worlds most active volcanoes and love this magnetic island.

the volcano bellows out black smoke.
And, I too would love to live there, as any introvert would.

except for the volcano. Now don't get me wrong, I live on top of a big assed super volcano already, just can't see it because it's so huge. I suppose it would put things in perspective on a regular basis, though.
