In Autumn 2019, I left my home in London and job managing a city farm in search of life beyond the city. I’ve always dreamed of living a more simple life, closer to nature and maybe even setting up my own project… Last summer my boyfriend Tim and I decided to spend 6 months on the road, learning from people already out there who are living off the land. We wanted to find out how people create community, live in harmony with nature, while at the same time making it work financially. This blog is a sort of scrap book about everything I encounter that makes me learn and pause along the way. I hope that you enjoy it, and please drop me a line if you have any feedback! Holly x
