Do you think I could live like this?

I'm going to buy a small campervan and find an allotment to rent (prices are minimal). and I'm gonna grow my own food and work on some books that I'd like to get published.

It sounds nice to me, but does any one have any suggestions to help me keep my feet on the ground?

    Been there, done that and have the T-shirt, ill health forced me to go back to bricks and mortar but I still enjoy trips away carefree in my old motorhome. Its all Ok until you get an MOT failure on your home, you can see the obvious problems LOL

    My day was surprisingly taken up by ensuring the solar panels had charged the battery, I had enough water, 3 hours preparation prior to the water being hot enough for a shower, was the portaloo going to overflow, where could I empty it etc etc Saying that, i would swap my life in an instant back if I had a chance, go for it !

    If your wanting advice to help keep your feet on the ground the only 2 things i can suggest, 1 - buy an allotment that has gravity. 2 - buy a caravan that doesn't have an anti-gravity machine.

    Yes. There are many self sufficient farmers living in self-built huts and grow their own vegetable, raise chickens, ducks,pigs and cows, and fewer with rices and green tea. They can get good raw fishes and crabs by the ocean or the rivers in Hoinan Island, my native village. However, I am not familiar with the western agriculture. You better cruise the following web.
