In October of 2021, I left my job of 21 years to pursue a dream. The dream was to purchase 2-5 acres and build a tiny home. BUT, before we were to build, I wanted to my daughter to have an experience that most American kids don’t ever get the chance to have. I wanted her to know what people in other parts of the world (and even kids in the U.S.) experience. So, I talked to her about giving homesteading a shot with NO running water and NO electricity. I talked about how much of an incredible opportunity we have in front of us and we decided to go for it.
