Hello!  

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.

Hi Julian,

I am 24F, with interests of offgrid lifestyle, like you are describing here. I don't really know how or where to start, but I'm also looking for a partner to potentially work towards it with. I love nature, I enjoy spending time outside, I like to work with my hands and be active with a purpose. I'd much rather get my workout through "real" work, rather than on a machine at a gym. I desire a more peaceful and quiet lifestyle, and a strong connection with someone who is kind, honest, patient and open-minded, with similar values and future plans in mind.

I studied Environmental Science in college, and I'm very knowledgeable about planting and growing, wildlife, caring for animals (exotic and domestic), so I would like to "put it to use" in a home like what you're describing. Like you, I am an introvert, but I have an energetic and vibrant personality in the right "environments" (people, place, situations).

I was wondering if you would like to chat more and get to know more about each other, our goals and maybe there's potential. Btw, thanks for including a photo, you seem really nice.

Hope to hear from you,
Kristina

Hi Kristina,

You seem genuinely interesting and I’d definitely be interested in talking more and getting to know each other better.
 
I miss the old days when I would think up a sinister scheme for world domination and you would show a little emotional support. So just look at this tiny ad:
