It was very good advice. I have a friend who lives on one of the northernest points in Alaska. She is a school teacher and has been there going on 7 years. She absolutely loves it. She is in a remote village that you can only fly in or out of, and she has to order her food supply over the Internet and have it "dropped" literally. She has one more year to retirement.

She wandered over to a government radar site one day and met a man who has never been married and they hit it off immediately. Same age, and they travel together in the off seasons, visit each other village-to-village while they are in Alaska, but give each other space when needed.

I've met him and just adore him. Who would have ever thought she would go that far north out in the middle of nowhere and find a man. A good man. Go figure...
