I live in the Canary Islands, on very deserted and raw land. For decades this land, which used to be very green, has been left unattended when in truth, if given some love and care, it can flourish into an incredible Safe Haven.
I was born and raised in Rome, then moved to London for 4 years. I’ve grown up in cities, but I escaped in 2018 to the Canary Islands because all I could see for myself was a life spent in nature, gathering food from my garden, growing flowers and living in a tasteful and well-designed tiny home.
I’ve been working hard to make this dream come true and to be honest, I don’t need incredible amount of money to do it – we’re not talking about millions, but I definitely need some help to make this dream come true. I already have some land and a lot of willingness to work outside and create this dream.
The dream is to:
- Get a tiny house. Something simple, with a big kitchen, living room, bathroom and one bedroom. I have a background in design, so the “look” of the house will be very minimalistic and natural looking– light wood and grey is the idea I’m running with, for now. I’ve taught myself carpentry and I’ve already built a lot of stuff. I’ll be doing most of the work on the tiny home by myself, which I very much enjoy.
- Start a garden and a flower farm. I’d like a garden to feed myself, family and friends. On top of that I’d like to add a small flower farm, adding flowers around the property as much as possible to promote a variegated population of beneficiary insects. I’d like to grow edible flowers for the nearby restaurants and flowers for small weddings and events. There is no flower production on the island I live in, so I’d be the first to do this.
- Once the flower farm is up and running I’d like to start a bee form. This has never been done where I live, but I’d love to have a bee farm to help my garden, but also to many honey. I’ll be needing money for the Honey Flow beehives.
- With enough money I’d like to create a “green house” made with agricultural fabric, so to protect the plants from excess winds that plague the island, big enough to put aeroponic towers to grow lots of leafy greens (we love leafy greens in Rome) which are absent here. I’d like to sell the greens in nearby restaurants.
- Start my family :)
