Hello Mark and all,
This is Montse from Spain, female 36 y.o. freelance translator based in the Netherlands. I just registered this site hoping to gain some insight into the beauty and the challenges of self-sufficiency.
My husband JW and I are planning to travel to different countries to meet self-sufficient people and communities willing to share their farming knowledge and life experiences. (Also aspiring self-sufficient people and communities, of course).
Australia and Europe are first on our list, then Asia, America and Africa will follow, but we do not intend to be exhaustive or encyclopedic. It is neither for scientific nor statistical purposes: our idea is to collect different first-hand stories of human self-sufficiency in a book and a blog, along with some facts and photographs of their diverse environment, staple food and farming tools.
(You can check JW's photos on flickr, member name is macrofotografie)
In February we will spend three weeks travelling from Sydney to Cairns, if you are interested, drop me a line. As soon as we have the "frame" of the blog ready in January 2014 I can send you the link if you are curious.
Best wishes,
Montse
