 Healthy food is important to Adrian. This is an excerpt from the September 2010 issue of Global Asset Strategist.
I continue my interview with Adrian S., a married man with a family who sold most of his possessions in search of a better life. Links to earlier parts of the interview can be found at the end of this post.
Adrian S: Well, we’re planning to go to Paraguay this year but we’re still researching what they would require for health examinations. I really don’t want to get shots from some Rockefeller allopathic doctor who’s going to stick me a mercury barb.
Jennifer Barry: Yeah, I can understand that. I have not gotten any vaccines in a while and one of the last ones I did was Hepatitis B, and I reacted poorly to that. I think that vaccine is still affecting me 15 years later. Continue reading Stranger in His Own Land, Part 6

Adrian S: We went to Panamá, and then we started looking more closely at places we might want to live. It’s been an internet search so far.

 Bees have to work hard in Vermont. Jennifer Barry: So you didn’t find an ecovillage that worked for your family?
Adrian S: No, we got discouraged by not being able to find communities that agreed with us in fundamental ways. But we did stay in some very nice places for a while, like we stayed in Oregon for the longest time.
JB: That didn’t surprise me, I felt that you would end up in the Pacific Northwest. I didn’t think New England would work out for you.
AS: I like Vermont, but the growing season there is too short. I just didn’t see how you could have people practically living in such a cold, cold place. And they are burning an awful lot of their forests up there just to stay warm. Continue reading Stranger in His Own Land, Part 3
Ecovillages may take over old camps.
“Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike,
They’ve all gone to look for America.”
- Simon and Garfunkel, “America”
Adrian S: Well, a lot of people are forming ecovillages despite the laws. In Oregon, for example, there are many, many communities of people that are [...]

One of the joys of traveling is trying new foods. Many times, it’s something you can’t get at home, like a fruit that can’t be shipped far or a fish that’s known only to the locals. Other times it’s just [...]
