After years of dreaming about an offgrid life, I decided around two years ago that it was time to seriously start working toward it and saving money for the startup costs. The process is slow — but I imagine finding the right partner for that kind of life may take even longer, so I figured I might as well start now.
So far I’ve mainly focused on gardening, soil health, and learning as much as I can about self-sufficiency and what this lifestyle realistically involves. I tend to be introverted in crowds, but around people I truly connect with I become much more energetic and outgoing.
I believe in monogamy, though I’m not religious. I also tend to dive deep into details and prefer being well prepared before making big decisions — and something as life-changing as offgrid living deserves time, thought, and planning. Things like location, climate, finances, compatibility, and what both people bring into the relationship matter a lot to me. Ideally, I’d like to build toward this with a solid financial foundation so the experience feels exciting rather than constant stress and survival.
I’d love to get to know someone slowly and genuinely over time. Once the “best version” masks fall away, that’s when you really find out if two people can build a lasting life together. To me, relationships are about commitment, communication, patience, and accepting each other for who we truly are.
I hope this doesn’t come across as intimidating — only honest. We would potentially be building something deeply life-changing together, and I think that deserves sincerity from the beginning.
