Hi. I'm looking for a couple folks interested in creating a situation that we'd all give a crap about. I need to be in PA for work, but can live pretty much anywhere within the borders. I'm open to a few possibilities, including:
1) Joining folks who already have
land, and are looking for someone to invest further in a situation that values growing food and general self-sufficiency
2) Potentially buying land with another person or a small group of folks interested in homesteading
3) Joining with some folks to rent land/housing for the above purposes, and seeing what happens from there
A bit more about me. I'm early 30s, work for a nonprofit, and travel relatively frequently for work, depending on the time of year. I like my alone time, but also really enjoy communal meals and shared purpose. Because of my travel schedule, being within an hour of a large airport is preferred, though rural living is what I'd like. For work reasons, my initial thoughts are south-central or south-east Pennsylvania, though I'm open to other suggestions and situations. I also love to dance, so having reasonable access to a
city is also desirable.
A bit more about the situation I'm looking for, and the type of
people I'm hoping to meet. No drama, folks who are independent but still focused on community, and who work hard. I'm open to a shared living situation, though an ideal for me might be something of a "confederation," with a few small living units on a property. Basically, I'm looking for something in between communal living and strict rugged-individual stuff.
Also, I'm very into self-sufficiency and
sustainability where I live, but I don't want it to end there. I'm interested in larger scale change as well. I have activist tendencies, according to my friends. I'm not interested in whining or guilt for how screwed up things are. Rather, I want to work with folks on creating new situations, and potentially becoming a hub for interesting projects in homesteading/activism/social change.
