Hello! I'm Atulya.
Back in 2011 I found myself out of funds, and ended up camping in a Turkish field. It was the best thing that happened to me. I learned just how easy it is to be happy when you're close to the Earth. Eventually, I built my own mud home, installed solar power, and pursued my dream of writing. Now I am free! I'm passionate about people liberating themselves from the system, building their own natural homes, and reconnecting with nature. It's not for everyone of course, but if it speaks to you may this website inspire you to begin your own journey. This kind of lifestyle is not only sustainable, it's also magic. On The Mud Home website, you can find a wealth of information on EARTHBAG BUILDING, LIVING OFF GRID, or if it's inspiration you're after, read about my own journey in the MUD MOUNTAIN BLOG. |
I give away shovel loads of free information to Mud subscribers, so if you haven't got yourself on the list yet, you might want to.

About me:
I'm author of Ayse's Trail (OBBL winner 2014), and Mud Ball, the popular true story of how I clawed my way out of the system.
I'm an introvert whose loves include dogs and chickens, trees, building with mud, and writing. A mug of decent ground coffee doesn't go amiss either. I have little patience for cooking, impromptu 'guests' and concrete.

FAQ
Can I visit you?
Sorry no. I can't think of anything worse. I'm an introvert and find visitors very stressful.
I'd like to chat to you on Skype and ask a bunch of questions.
Er no...I'm pretty generous with sharing my knowledge in this site. All of it's for free.
Can you tell me how to build a mud house legally in (insert country)?
Every country in the world has different building regs which change on a regular basis. It would be a full time job to keep up with them all. I have written an article giving pointers on this subject, but ultimately it's up to you to do your own research.
