Did you know? Hermit Crabs LOVE Crackers! 60 Plus Influencers - Cocos Island

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.

During a trip to Cocos Keeling Islands, they both fell in LOVE with hermit crabs. These little guys were everywhere and boy, was it NOT safe to leave ANY food out, anywhere! As they found out whilst enjoying a walk on a fairly deserted beach and discovered some belongings left temporarily by island workers as they went to the toilet...A lesson learned the hard way - hope the islanders weren't expecting to finish off their picnic, because the hermits got there before them!
