Occasionally you might see a dolphin, you know, with a stone's throw from your car, you

know, cresting.

I've seen a great eagre, and a great blue heron, flapping those huge wings down at the

same time and landing on the same log, like they were having a conversation.

This is Anna Marlisbergard.

20 years ago, she moved to an island called Taibe, off the coast of Georgia.

And since then, she just hasn't been able to shake the place.

She's tried living on the mainland, but she's ended up moving back and forth to Taibe,

three times.

So just when you step out of your house, you know you're on an island.

You're not like in a suburban suburb.

You can you tell you're on an island if you walk out of your place or look out the window

or something?

Yeah, I don't need to walk out my place because I can see the lighthouse from my bed.

So, so the island miss of it is present.

Yes, the island is, yeah, the the lighthouse shines into my bedroom.

So that's a clue.

Anna is a little bit obsessed with islands.

She's been drawn to them since she was a little kid.

And now she's on this decades-long mission to visit as many of them as she can, to photograph

them, to interview the people she meets there, and to write about the islands.

Anna's visited more than 130 islands in the U.S. alone.
