Absolutely.
To start, [bottom up] it's big enough to sink metal ships [Pitcairn only has a few pathetic 18th and 19th century woodies to its credit]. Second, it has a genuine volcano [Mount Fire] and not just a hard rock. Makes life so much more exciting. Third, it has a people with the foolhardy courage to place a school right in the caldera of that dormant-not-dead volcano. Fourth, it has Defenses!. Fifth, it's One Room University has a Very Big Room. Sixth, it actually has two universities, even if one is unfortunately named after Piaget. Seventh, it has enough room to play futbol. Eigth, it has major urbs by its hortas. Ninth, it's got grub not from a tin can. Tenth, and, oh yes, Komrads, it's got babes worthy of a Carnival.
The downer? Eleventh. It is really really close to Africa, particularly Guinea-Bissau, which is arguably the most pathetic and yet Socialist of the ex-Luso colonies in Africa. The bad news is that Guinea-Bissau ain't happy at all at being left alone in the Socian dust. It wants brotherly company in its misery. The good news is that Guinea-Bissauians are too busy killing each other over no good reason at all to pay proper interfering attention to Cabo Verde. Probably good in this regard for another decade or two. So, komrads, do you feel lucky?

How do you get to the Cabo Verde? Can you fly directly from the States, or do you need to go first to Madrid or Lisbon, and the perhaps to Guinea Bissau? Better take a boat?
There are regular flights from Lisbon. A few from the States. Safest route is probably via Lisbon. There are flights from Africa, but those airlines are as comforting and safe as Aeroflot in the Vodka season.
