Lucy is living off-grid with her family, in a yurt, in New Zealand, while unschooling their kids, running a farm, and freelancing as a digital nomad.
Here are all the places you can follow her adventure online via Lulastic Hippyshake:
RU-vid: / lulastichippyshake

INSTAGRAM: / lulasticblog
BLOG: lulastic.co.uk/
eBOOKS: lulastic.co.uk/books-i-have-wr...
I first discovered Lucy's awesome blog and RU-vid channel while I was searching for information about how to stop using shampoo; and I ended up buying her awesome eBook about it (link below if you want to go no-poo too!), and I haven't used shampoo in a year and a half.
Happy Hair eBook: lulastic.co.uk/happy-hair/
I loved her videos about living off-grid in a New Zealand yurt, and still watch all of her parenting videos even though we don't have kids ourselves. We highly recommend checking out her videos!
The family quit their jobs, sold their home, and sold most of their belongings, and left London to go live off-grid in a tiny house a.k.a. a yurt in New Zealand.
They earn an income through Lucy's freelance writing work, and by renting their smaller yurt on Airbnb, and they also plan to earn an income from their farm once they've had more time to get it up and running.
Lucy and Tim currently unschool their two children, which is a "an educational method and philosophy that advocates learner-chosen activities as a primary means for learning."

I'd be curious to know what their savings was like going into this. Being able to just quit your jobs and sell your 3 bedroom place (IN LONDON) implies a significant leg up in finances. Not to mention casually finding land in NZ and shipping all your stuff over...this took some serious cash to make happen. All that said, they're full on living the dream and props to them!

@@sabrinastratton1991 that’s not actually true. I unschool my kids and they learn so much more than traditional institutionalized education. It’s not about pumping our children with information, but actually showing them that we can learn in every area of our lives. Unschooling allows children to broaden their awareness of the many opportunities to grow and learn. It creates opportunity for truly freethinking humans, who will grow up and change the world. Unlike the many people who blindly follow without question, and who are narrow minded thinkers. It truly is a beautiful sight to behold.

Yes, the key word is re-innovated (or I would just say "re-invented"). Because these are not authentic yurts and they are not living yurt lifestyle. Still beautiful lifestyle, though.

Right now I'm living in a yurt in the mountains outside of Seattle. I'm 60 and used to live in a yurt when I was a kid planting trees in the woods in Oregon and Idaho. Same people built the yurt in the late 70s. It's really interesting because your lifestyle reminds me a lot of middle-class hippies who join communes in the 60s. I took a great interest in what became of them in the 70s and early 80s. And the kids got bored because they didn't like the rural lifestyle. It's a dream now for sure. Good luck with everything I love your Channel

I watched this in October 2017 shortly after it was released because I was interested in tiny living off the back of my adventures in minimalism. And now here I am again, four months later, having been researching wildly on unschooling, stumbling upon Lulastic and thinking "a yurt in New Zealand... that sounds familiar..." . I love how freaking intermeshed all of these ideas are. It inspires me to continue exploring. To continue following what feels right for myself and my family

My 16 year old is an animator and has 30k+ followers and my 10 year old is a gifted reader and vocalist. All due to focusing on what they love. It's so true that kids are naturally inquisitive and retain what they learn with amazing precision when it's based on their own interests. Btw, my son's website and RU-vid is deezeewy (his initials are DZY). I'll be sure to check out your RU-vid as well(: I wish your beautiful family the best💕✝️🇺🇸

Lula mentioned that she wanted to move away from fossil fuel. We found that we like using Denatured Alcohol in a small alcohol burning camper stove that is $2 to $15 (we found the slightly fancier ones are a little more efficient). You need to vent it a little, by a hood or a window that can crack open, but they burn very clean. I noticed a few tiny house people were using this and got inspired by them. It is great for sautéed veggies.

I took a renewable energies class this past fall- and a professor of mine lives in a yurt and uses small amounts of propane, and we calculated that it is actually less of an impact than to produce and implement the enormous amount of solar panels it would need to heat an electric element for cooking. It's just not viable, unfortunately. Solar panels still leave a huge impact to produce- but don't let that lessen your hopes on the future!
