We are Paul and Erika and we moved from the North of England to Hungary in 2008, with the intention of living a quieter, slower life, after having very stressful jobs. At that time, we owned 2 small houses here; one in the centre of a small village, the other in the hills above Eger, 2.5 km along a dirt road on the edge of a forest.
Fast forward 15 years and we've moved from one village to another, still have the house in the hills and have just bought the cabin next door. We gave up our main teaching jobs in December 2023 and now Erika teaches part-time online and I, Paul, do the renovating and maintenance of our 3 houses and gardens.
Here are some videos of our journey, starting at the end of 2023. We are trying to grow as much of our own fruit and vegetables as possible, use natural products where possible and live a generally healthier lifestyle.
If you'd like to help us with our future projects and renovations, you can buy us a ko-fi here: ko-fi.com/homesteadinginhungary
