The von Engelbrechten family live in a very unusual

place. Their home is on the small island of Fofoa and
they are the only people who live there. Fofoa is about
one kilometre long and the island is part of Tonga, a
country in the South Pacific Ocean. It is quite close to
other islands in Tonga, but it is about 1,800 kilometres
from New Zealand and around 4,000 kilometres from
Australia.

There are five people in the von Engelbrechten

family- Karyn, the mother, who is from the UK; Boris,
the father, who is from Germany; and their three sons
Jack, Luca and Felix. They've got a two-bedroom
home on a small hill with an amazing view of the
ocean. The house is high up because they don't want
the ocean to come into their living room!

The family drink rainwater and grow fruit and \'eget.ibb

on the island. Sometimes, they travel to a larger isla nd
