“我们享受这种抛开金钱，自给自足的生活。蕾切尔说，“我俩不必操心房租、机票、食物或华服到底要多少钱。事实上，现在的生活自由极了，我们能完全自主地安排自己的时间。

Rachel and Liam moved into the house in January, but this isn’t the first time they’re experiencing living off the land. While Rachel spent two years previously on an organic farm in Canada, Liam has traveled to the Arctic. They’ve both always tried to use local produce and be as eco-friendly as possible.

一月，蕾切尔与利亚姆搬进了新家，这可不是他们第一次过自给自足的生活了。此前，蕾切尔在加拿大的一个有机农场生活过两年，利亚姆则曾赴北极旅行。夫妻俩都尽量使用当地土产品，不破坏生态环境。

But in spite of all their experience, they claim that this last year has been quite difficult. The soil on their patch of land is rather infertile, so they’ve been struggling to grow crops. The climate is pretty harsh as well, so their makeshift residence isn’t holding out too well. The thrifty home – a 2.5 square meter structure – is really only good for privacy. They shower under cold rainwater collected on the roof, and share toilets with the rest of the community. And because they have no appliances, they wash their clothes in the sink.

尽管有过自给自足的经验，两人依然表示，过去的一年困难重重。他们居住的地方土地贫瘠，种植粮食并非易事。当地气候条件严苛，临时居所时常风雨飘摇。这间2.5平米的小屋，仅仅是个简陋的容身之处。两人不得不搜集屋顶的冰冷雨水用于洗浴，上厕所还得与他人共用。家中没有任何电器，夫妻俩只能在水槽中洗衣。
