I’m new to this website and the ideas of permaculture and homesteading. I have read many blogs and watched lots of videos, but I haven’t had experience and I don’t know everything about this kind of lifestyle. I don’t know if this is the right forum to post this in, and I might add it to the real estate forum. I’m 18 years old and I’m staring down life full of student loans, debt, and craziness. I want to live a simpler life and focus on the important things like love and family. I’ve known about tiny houses for about 3 years, and they have been my introduction into homesteading which I have just heard about recently. I want land of my own to build a tiny house on and start a homestead, but I have no money or skills. So, what I am proposing is to work on a farm or homestead for several years, gaining hands on experience, and afterwards I have earned anywhere from 1 to 3 acres of land for my own use. For the first year or so I would also be working for room and board, but I can find part time work in a local town and save up to either pay you rent or rent an apartment or house nearby. I am a fast learner and hard worker. I am looking in the mid-Atlantic and south east regions with a preference in VA or NC.
