I would still go back to Hawaii next year. It’s a great experience to travel around Hawaii!

Hi Martin – great questions!
We were indeed going to stay in the other location for 6 months, but a number of factors resulted in our decision to leave, not the least of which was the weather – it rained every single day for a month straight (no exaggeration: it made the newspapers)! The problem with all that rain meant no power either, and no internet – which I need to make my meager living. Trips 11 miles by hiking/hitch hiking into the nearest town became expensive and prohibitive.

And yes – a bit of cabin fever, and a feeling of being very remote also hit home, but were by no means our ultimate reasons for leaving. In fact – we miss many things about that place, and will certainly seek out further permaculture or agricultural positions in the future. Being so incredibly in touch with nature was wonderful, we learned so much, and became considerably healthier and environmentally conscious in the process.

Hmm I was very intrigued by your story and read almost your whole blog quickly, like a book.

I thought that you were going to stay in the remote location for at least 6 months? You do not say much why you left. Did you get cabin sick? It was too extreme for you? – you said you prefer some balance. Would you do it again? Maybe at a different place? Ok. enough questions for now
