thosewilsons are leaving dc


Yes, we are for real. We're selling most of what we own, quiting jobs, packing up in a van, and heading south where the climate suits our clothes. What are we going to do? Well, we're going to work on farms for food. "To forget how to dig the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves" (Gandhi). So maybe we're going to find ourselves, too. We're going to do some language schools and improve our spanish. We're going to visit friends and family. We're going to detox from the beltway insanity, and try to live closer to the earth. We're after places where we can still see the stars and the vastness of space, and also swim in a clean river. We want to live with less, and still have more. It's crazy and romantic, but it's an adventure that's calling our names.

the suburban exodus begins for us on 15 february.
