Plans for My Eco Paradise

The joy of moving to a new place! When I said that I have a wide space in front of the house, it means this! This is just the house of the roosters in front of my house. I'm going to claim this place as my own 'eco-paradise', @andrewmarkmusic coined the term. Which only means being surrounded by tropical trees, plants and possibly some wild animals out there... but wait there's more - surveillance cameras, because this a brave new world ei! I'm a modern beautiful savage.

The owner agreed to relocate my neighbor's roosters and dogs - but I'm not counting on it. I actually gave my neighbor some dog food as a gift, suggested by @braveboat. Do I sound diabolic? Anyway, they are my only neighbors here so I will try to be sweet...awww.

Overall, I'm quite happy with how things turned out! Feliz (my cat) would be so happy too! The good thing is that I can now check my first goal/new year resolution this year off the list - to move to a new place. It seems that everything else has been halted until I can fulfill this goal. So I guess some things happen for a reason.

I'm planning to stick around here until such time I can afford to buy my own land and who knows...build my own eco-paradise someday! Does it sound like a cool plan? Steemit bnb/eco-paradise/self-sustainable community something. I've been wanting to do something like that for a long time but there are things I have to fulfill first - my project, for the cash of course. You need cash for everything ei! Perhaps I'll just have the eco-paradise as my long-term goal. It is just nice to dream about that for now. Baby steps.

I am grateful that the landlord allowed me to do some gardening and grow my own food here, which makes me a happy person. That is actually the idea of moving here. I really have no experience with gardening and I only volunteered in a permaculture/spiritual community in Brazil during my trip. I used to work in a big city and I didn't have time and opportunity to learn about growing my own food. This is the time to learn.

The main purpose is to minimize my expenses. Eat healthy/organic food, be healthy and happy. Avoid big expenses due to not being healthy and happy, and also avoid mindless spending. As you can see, I am so committed to having the kind of life that I want. I did everything to find a perfect place to nurse my dreams. So I'm not planning to upgrade my lifestyle anytime soon, not until I could make money from my venture. But I highly doubt that I would go back to my previous life. I can adapt to both modern conveniences and simple living. It is important to train myself to be adaptable - with or without noise. But I prefer to swim in the sea of free time. I can take a good life. Do I sound like a big girl now?

I didn't realize that I have a travel souvenir rooster sticker on my laptop that I got in a coffee shop in Medellin city. Anyway, I'm not going to remove it as a sign of solidarity. Maybe I can get a rooster tattoo too what do you think? It's time to make peace with these cockerels. Maybe I'll give them some 'good food' or something and be attached to them. I will try my best to empathize with this whole male dominance thing and understand their reasons to cock-a-doodle-dooooo!

Do you have any experience with gardening? Maybe you can help me here! What do you suggest planting in this tropical humid weather? I already have some ideas but I also welcome any suggestion or advice. I'll post my gardening journey too.
