The Mud Series:
One Woman, Zero Experience, Building an Off-Grid World
Back in 2011, I ran out of money and ended up camping in a Turkish field. There was no power, no running water, and I had no building experience. I gathered a small group, and within six weeks we had erected the main structure of an earthbag house. It was a life-changing experience, and quite possibly the best undertaking of my existence. But how did I go from a clueless teacher not knowing how to put a shelf up, to living alone off-grid and building a mud world?
Well...that, as they say, is a rather wonderful story. You can read all about that adventure in my popular Mud Series.
