Descripción
We met in 2007 on the dance floor (folk dancing). A few years later we married and bought (and refurbished) a house together (till that point, a bit standard).
We don't have kids, we don't have a car, television or microwave. And in 2020 (returning from an eye-opening trip to Ecuador) we decided not to work full time any more in order to have time for all the important things of life.
From 2012 to 2024 we had a fairly big garden which after a few years provided most of our veggies and a big portion of our fruit most of the year. Recycling and reusing items is our first choice when we (think we) need something. We said goodbye to our flush toilet and made ourselves a simple composting toilet!
In 2022-2024 we spent in total 10 months in India, mostly in Gujarat and Rajasthan, having fallen in love with the Indian village life.
We decided to sell the house we had refurbished in order to buy a small apartment in the heart of Brussels. No garden anymore, but we are now mortgage-free and can spend even more time travelling.
For the moment we live in the city, which we love. But we are even more appealed to nature. We like birdwatching and long walks while enjoying nature and wildlife.

The surrounding are absolutely stunning. And there are lovely walks nearby. A tip: take the dogs with you if you can. They will love you for it. We saw a great many birds to.
The focus on Tushar's farm is not on the work but on the connection to each other.
We thrashed some rice (max 2 hours a day), did some… read more
