Hi Lisa, my wife and I are looking to make a change and we could possibly be a good fit for what you have going on.

If you are still interested in people please get in touch so we can determine whether we are a good fit or not. Or, if you or anyone else reading this knows of any similar opportunities from Missouri Eastward we would be interested so please get in touch with me. michael.l.savage@gmail.com

Hi Justin, I love the idea and I want to check in on your progress.

We have been looking at similar setups as what you are proposing. We've found them all over including Costa Rica and more recently the ACTS program that is in TN and TX right now. This is definitely becoming a more mainstream idea.

Have you heard of Game B? I think looking at what that movement has come up with and synthesizing it with what others have said should help in the planning phase. It's along the lines of ecovillages and intentional communities.

So how is the planning going so far? Is there anything you could use help with? I would love to chat in more detail about your specifics because my wife and I are trying to move to our homestead soon and WV is one of the places we are looking. Also, I'm generally interested in the planning of communities with permaculture principles. michael.l.savage@gmail.com

Hi Andi, I see your last post was a few months ago so I'm posting to check in on your progress.

Unfortunately, I only found out about permies recently as we were in Romania not far from you this summer and it would have been nice to meet. We have a house near Sighișoara and are considering moving to Romania if we can't find anything rural in the US. (My wife is Romanian) Our kids had the summer of a lifetime and my wife is now on board with getting out of the city.

Are you having any success in finding help?
I took a look at the website and it's very well done and the photos are absolutely gorgeous. Luke already beat me to the ideas that I have recently found (wwoof, etc) that would be of any help. Since you are not far from Cluj you might want to visit the high schools and Universities there to see if anyone would want to help for a time. Even family day trips to your area would be beneficial for both parties. I have some friends in Cluj that I'll alert to your presence to see if they want to stop by.

I would love to hear how everything is going for you now and how things have progressed since your first post.
And of course, I would love to meet up with you the next time we are in Romania.
