I'm a 44 year old male from England (UK) and in the process of building my own tiny home on my own land. I'm looking for a phone buddy I guess, I'm not up on the latest phrases so forgive me, hopefully that means a friend rather than something perverted.

I live off-grid and am trying to be as self-sufficient as possible. I'd love to share this at some point in life but in no rush. If any ladies out there are from, or are interested in the UK and chatting about anything off-grid related then get in touch as I'd love to hear from you, if only to just trade ideas/simple recipes and the like.

Hi Bri, Welcome to Permies! Nice to see a fellow Brit. on the forums. I'm happily married, and up in the far NW of Skye, but send me a pm * if you fancy online communication - like a pen friend perhaps! We're not off grid, but working towards resilliance.

*pm = purple moosage - not really private, as senior staff can see them if they look (but don't normally bother). To send a pm click on someone's name, which will give you their profile information, a little envelope to the top right will open the purple moosage menu.

Hi Bri,

I'm currently offgrid in Portugal. It hasn't been easy for me.

I did a year abroad during college at the University of Hull - it was awesome bc I met so many cool people. But England is soooooo cold.

I'd be interested in chatting with you about how you're faring with offgrid life.

Best,
Eva

Hi Bri,
I live in Spain, so at least we share similar time zone! And I do love permaculture and has a garden myself. I would love to chat with you regarding gardening and self-sufficient staff. I wonder how can I get in touch?
Best,
Jing

Hi Bri

My name is Dawn and I live in Wales. I’m really interested in permaculture and growing medicinal herbs to help with my wholistic healing practices and I love meeting new friends if you wanted to connect for a chat.
