“Small community living has been lost in America. Families are much more isolated. Individuals are much more isolated. And I do think a lot is lost.”

“People living sad lonely existences. Why do we have to do that to ourselves? We don’t.”

Tim Hussin says this North Carolina community is not alone.

TIM HUSSIN: “We have found there are a lot of people creating spaces for people to live the lives they want to lead and not the lives they’ve been taught they should lead.”

The Hussin brothers are attempting to live sustainably during their travels. Noah Hussin says the people at the urban homestead taught them how to find food instead of buying it. Tim said there is plenty of free food out there if you know where to look.

TIM HUSSIN: “It blows my mind how much food grocery stores throw away.”

Tim Hussin says he and his brother are discovering ways of living that are very different from how they were raised in Florida.

TIM HUSSIN: “There are a lot of interesting communities that I had no idea existed. And a lot of people that are really passionate about changing the way that we live. It’s really exciting and inspiring to see all these communities working individually but also together as part of a larger movement.”
