    Description

    I am an Geman (retired) and live in a garden with 4 different caves. Also im a naturist and for 30 yaers vegetarian, but it is no problem if you need to cook meat here - but I don't buy meat products
    ,I live in a somewhat alternative fashion...and more but I try to live without the things which are unimportant to live. The electricity for my home (caves) is produced by solar (autonomy) I try to support myself with vegetarian foodand . I have a compost toilet, to increase the sustainabilty of the way I live.
    2 dogs, 50 canaries and 4 hens are my pets.

    Sono tedesco (in pensione) e vivo in un giardino con 4 diverse grotte.
    Sono naturista e da 30 anni vegetariano, non è un problema se devi cucinare la carne qui ma non compro prodotti a base di carne . Vivo in un modo un po 'alternativo ... e altro, ma cerco di vivere senza le cose che non sono importanti per la vita. L'elettricità per la mia casa (grotte) è prodotta da pannelli solari . Faccio autosufficienza con il cibo vegetariano del mio orto - ho una toilette per compost, per aumentare la sostenibilità del mio modo di vivere.
    2 cani , 50 canarini e 4 galline sono i miei animali domestici.
