Even going grocery shopping is an adventure on Island 203 in Lake Temagami, Canada, which is so remote it doesn't have a street address, Dominique Nobes told Insider.

Dominique, 32, and her husband Rielly Nobes share the island with 15 other people, but in summer — the busiest time of year — there are 60 other residents, she said.

The mainland, home to around 800 people, is a 13.6-mile drive away, she added. Before Island 203, Dominique used to live in Manitouwadge, a small Canadian town in Ontario.

Dominique, who shares videos about island life on TikTok, where she has over 100,000 followers, said she made the move alongside her husband and his parents on April 4, 2018.

They have a neighbor in the summertime, who lives pretty close, but they can't see the home behind the trees so it still feels private, she said.

They moved to Island 203 as they wanted to be self-employed and now have a small business renting out cottages on the island, she added.
