Off-Grid Living: Q&A. Your Questions Answered! How to go off-grid? Can you be vegan? Books to read?
Living off-grid you get to be more in control of your own schedule. You can roll down the hill and take an impromptu Tuesday afternoon fishing trip without asking anyone’s permission and the only consequence is some unexpected sunburn!
Abby Pulham, a former climate change political advisor and water engineer who now lives in Spain with her family on a beautiful traditional finca (farm) where she is pursuing her goals of homesteading, permaculture and regenerative agriculture in the form of food forestry talks to us about water, climate change
and living off-grid.
It is easy to get carried away describing the beauty of the Farm and the valley; the views across to the mountains, the olive and almond groves, dotted with the ruins of fincas from time gone by. What makes this place really special however, is how, amongst the spectacular landscape, Max and Nic are working to make their own place from scratch. We have really appreciated their down to earth and relaxed nature, and their thoughtfulness in sharing their space and introducing us to their way of life.
Once we arrived in Spain our adventures really took on a whole new level of exciting and difficult.
I am overwhelmed by how naive we were, carried along by our sense of this journey as a great adventure but with absolutely no idea just how great the adventure would turn out to be.
