As a budget traveler I could easily get by on $1000 per week. At $1400 per month you are going to have to really scrimp on food and rent and maybe a moped will get you to the grocery store if you aren't scared of getting hit. Then what do you do about all of your medical expenses and the normal financial emergencies that come along in life? Before you really do the move its best to find a long summer rental to experiment to see if you can survive and to see if you really like the island life or just infatuated w/ the idea. A short vacation visit will not give you a "real" look at what you are up against.
