Cocos Keeling Islands - Meet 60 Plus Influencer - Tony Isaacson with a lovely bunch of coconuts

Irene and Tony Isaacson are a dynamic duo, a husband-and-wife team, who share a lifelong passion for global travel especially wildlife adventures, voluntourism, and environmental conservation.

Together they have travelled across all seven continents and love to share their experiences as avid digital storytellers.

They were recently invited to become 60 Plus Influencers and are now one of the most active and popular Influencers on Facebook's PlayGround of the 60 Plus and 60 Plus PlayGroup.

This video was a fun moment shot during a kayak tour after landing on a deserted island in the Cocos Keeling Islands. We were being shown how to crack open coconuts and drink the milk and water as survival skills, but first we had to find some...!
