{UAH} A remote island in Ireland is looking for 2 friends to live there for free and run its coffee shop

Interest in living off the grid continues to grow, with people choosing to live in tents or even in pods to escape "regular" life.

If you've been hoping to unplug, Ireland might be the place for you.

Great Blasket Island, an island off the coast of Ireland, is looking for two people to move and work there for six months, from April to October. Its tourism center posted a listing for the job on Twitter last week.

"A unique position required - looking for long term management of Island Accommodation and Coffee Shop. Couple or two friends. 1st April 2020 - October 2020 accommodation and food provided," the tweet read.

The tweet did not list a salary for the job.Great Blasket Island is the largest of a group of islands called the Blaskets off the western coast of the Irish mainland.

The island is known for its wildlife, but its rough terrain has made it an unpopulated area — the largest number of people to live in the Blaskets was 160, according to Smithsonian magazine.

Great Blasket Island's website says that "in the past few years a number of the houses have been restored and amenities provided for visitors to the island."

However, the website also notes that "drinking water is a limited commodity" and requests that visitors bring their own.

The island also has no WiFi, electricity, or hot water for showers, according to the Irish broadcaster RTE.
