What are the odds of being able to move to a southern pacific island?

I am dreaming about moving to the southern pacific sometime. But what are the odds of being able to move to any of the small Islands in the southern pacific?
ex. Bora Bora in French Polynesia or any other island like that (Micronesia or whatever)

A person doesn’t have to be Canadian to have common sense. And everyone with two eyes and an ars*hole knows that some islands (like the Maldives) and some coastlines (including cities such as New York, Boston and New Orleans) will be under water in our lifetimes.

But to answer your question more properly, why not start by taking a ‘taste’ before you make any serious changes. Even a week or two would be helpful. And check out stuff written about them. For example, guidebooks for tourists are a great source of information. (Look at your public library).

(I guess the concept is to ‘date’ various islands, before ‘marrying’ one!)

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: The Arioi were a secret religious order of the Society Islands, particularly the island of Tahiti, with a hierarchical structure, esoteric salvation doctrine and cultish and cultural functions. They included both men and women of all social strata, though men predominated. The Arioi’s principally venerated the war god ‘Oro, whom they considered the founder of their order. In order to understand the Arioi and comparable societies on other islands of the Polynesian Triangle, it is necessary to understand Polynesian societal order in classical times, i.e. before Europeans discovered the islands. In most of Polynesia, society was strictly hierarchically structured and divided into several social strata. This division did not always manifest itself the same way, but it can be found in Tahiti, as well as in Samoa, Hawaii, the Marquesas Islands, the Austral Islands, the Cook Islands, all the way over on Easter Island, and even the remotest corner of the Polynesian Triangle. There were in essence three castes on the Society Islands: The system of power on the Society Islands included characteristics of both medieval European feudalism as well as the Hindu Caste System. The structure of the order of the Arioi was a mirror image of the Tahiti’s hierarchical society. There were several ranks; Moerenhout describes eight ranks which could be reached through initiation. Admission into the orders was relatively simple at first; thus, admission was associated with increasingly difficult requirements. Theoretically, all levels of all social groups were open to everyone, but in practice the highest classes of the Arioi were reserved for the highest classes of the nobility. The upper classes were occupied by priests, mostly the sons and
