I have always dreamed of owning a homestead. I live in the new york city and making a move out to the country would be a huge step for me as I would have to leave all of my family and everything that I have known behind but it is something I know I will have to do at some point in my life. I also recognize that maintaining a farm of any size, especially one with animals, is no small feat. Everyone that I see online that has a homestead, have at least a spouse and many have children that can at least help with small tasks. While I do imagine settling down with someone in the near future, I am not in any particular rush as I want to find someone with great character and values that is sometimes hard ot find in the city. Also, needing someone that is also willing to uproot their life to move to a small town or the middle of nowhere really limits the pool of potential matches. But also the dating pool in small towns I imagine would be even small.
I am 25, heavyset, hispanic/black. I love to be around nature.
What would you do? Would you wait or would you take the leap?
