Hi, we're Adam and Taryn, a young couple who live completely off the grid in the high desert mountains of southern Arizona. For several years, we ran a food blog, which we sold last year to achieve our off-grid dream. Now, we have a new blog, www.offgridtiny.house, and a video series called Moving Off the Grid.
Last week, we noticed a few links pointing to our site from Steemit.com. We were curious about this mysterious website that was linking to our content, so we decided to investigate... After spending a few minutes poking around the site, we wondered: How did we not know about this?!!! So, we quickly signed up, and the rest will soon be history.
We got into blogging many years ago while traveling around the US in search of the perfect city to call home. It was during this time that we realized we don't actually like living in cities. We lived in big cities, like Tampa, Portland, and Austin; and even a tiny city called Bisbee. Wonderful places to visit, for sure, but living in a hustling and bustling place, constantly surrounded by others, just wasn't for us.
It was during our time in Bisbee, however, that we fell in love with southern Arizona. The landscape is beautiful, the history and culture are rich, and many of the people are... well, eccentric.
After revisiting some of the other places we lived, and spending about a year thinking it over, we finally decided to buy a large piece of vacant land roughly 10 miles from the US/Mexican border, which is now where we spend all of our time perfecting our off-grid homestead.
At the moment, we live in a 12x24 tiny house that we had delivered to our property. It's far from luxurious but we like it a whole more than any of the "luxury" apartments we were living in before.
We're excited to be here on Steemit, and we look forward to sharing much more with you in the future!
Cheers,
Adam & Taryn
