Rules
You will be in a very quiet, secluded place. There is no public transportation. The nearest small town is 7km away and the nearest bigger town is about 25 km away. ( earth road). However, there are people in the neighborhood that you can go with, though you will have to be somewhat felxible. If you need a lot of contact, it is not the right place for you. But if you want to retreat a bit, love nature and animals it is the right place. I am vegetarian.
As the town is relatively far, you would better buy everything you need like medicaments etc. your favorite chocolate etc. You will have acess at the garden with what grows in the season and to the basics like rice, flour etc.
Since we live in a house with solar energy, we have no refrigerator, no washing machine and everyone contributes to be sparing with the available energy.
No drugs, no smoking, no alcool.
