––––––––
From a young age, I have always loved living life off the grid. What started small, with climbing trees and exploring the outdoors, developed into a profound interest in anything that would not confine me to the standard '9-5 get a mortgage' kinda lifestyle.
I wanted to experience real freedom. Without having to spend a fortune.
That's when I took a leap of faith, bought my first RV, and traveled across the country. It was not always easy, but I learned how to support myself on the way, and eventually created the lifestyle I always dreamed off.
Once I decided to settle down for a while, I built my own shipping container home. Did you know you can buy one at the fraction of the cost of a traditional home?
This lifestyle is not as difficult to reach as you may think. The most important thing is that you take action, one step at a time. I want to help you access that freedom, so you too can turn your dreams into reality!
