I embarked on the journey to turn our abandoned land into a green haven, building my own home, living off grid and become more self sufficient.

I live now in a self built cabin and everything is running offgrid. The goal for the year was to create a place more in balance with planet earth, to grow my own food and live a more self sufficient life

Sit back and relax by watching my content 🙂
