3 photos and text
For six months Tatyana and Andrei Borisov did not know what cork, rents and other "charms" of civilization. Last fall, they left the sultry metropolis called Chelyabinsk and at the year-old daughter rushed to live in nature. And not just anywhere in the Buttermilk and the tropical jungle ...
Went random
Tatiana - 28 years, her husband Andrew - 34. They lived in Chelyabinsk the envy of all your friends: it is - the editor in television, he embodied the successful business projects. We got an apartment with a Jacuzzi in the center of the city, a foreign car. And then - bam! - Quit your job. All sold. And - good-bye, stability, good-bye, career!
In the online diary entry appeared Tanya: "We have decided on an extreme experiment: to refuse to work in the office, well-maintained apartments, comfortable life. And to go to a new country, having no experience, start to cultivate the land and build a house.
After a long search in the forums and sites chosen to Belize. This paradise in Central America on the Caribbean Sea. Half of its territory - reserves and national parks. The edge is not moved with the progress of the industrial enterprises is almost there ... "Yeah, this is not his Ural Magnitogorsk and other delights.
Once in the ZOO
- Documents were no problems - says Tatiana with us (we were written off by e-mail: telephone - too expensive). - Those wishing to move here a little edge untapped. Plus white man then perceived as a purse. Therefore, the authorities have issued us with joy residence and sold the land in a tropical forest, 200 meters from the road to the nearest town.
Nine acres treated Borisov in 4, 5 mln. Rubles (this amount included the installation of temporary prefabricated house). Andrew Tanya - experienced travelers, not only where, but when we arrived in Belize and saw his land, sat in amazement! At the lake basked in the sun a huge boa. On the trees sat iguanas. Around nesting parrots. Zoo, and only!
FIRST DAYS
First, the new place was not to fall asleep. Strange sounds scary. One day Andrew heard on the porch steps. With machetes and shouting "Russian mafia does not sleep!" I jumped out of the house. We extinguished the fire in the evening the family was making tea, was busy looking for tasty-looking animal armadillo.
- But most of all Andrew remembered the first night in the jungle - says Tatiana. - We then spent the night in a hotel, and my husband stayed to guard an unfinished house.
I went to the attic, holding an ax in one hand and in the other - Taser. At the head put the shovel at the feet - a hammer. Just fell asleep in the darkness heard the noise of the motor and the shots. The sounds did not cease for an hour. In the morning it became clear that they were hunters who did not know the area someone settled. They never returned.
- It is terrible to live after that? - Anxiously we asked Tanya.
- At first it was alarming, and then we found out that the local bandits are located in the cities and in the countryside calmly stealing nothing.

INSTEAD OF FOREST PHARMACY
If you look at life through the eyes of Borisov a man accustomed to the city with its comforts sotssluzhbami and hospitals, it is scary. The nearest hospital - 40 km ...
- With the medicine we are not in touch, God spared - serenely says Tatiana. - Medicines do not accept. Here is a very popular herbal treatment. Tropical forest - an excellent pharmacy. In each case the locals have their own means.
Borisov from the ranch to the nearest neighbors - more than a kilometer along the narrow road. Andrew is building a stone house. Of course, you can live in a hut team: the average annual temperature of 26. But the hurricane season can ruin shack wind. And in the evenings the family admires the starry sky.
- Hobby monotonous! - Sympathize.
- And what a 3D-cinema can be compared to the scenery of the tropics! - Tatiana retorted. - But we are not alone. Make friends with the neighborhood kids, we go for a vacation on the island, excursions to the Mayan pyramids.
- Well, from the creature comforts that you have? - Insist.
- It is easier to say what is not. There is no running water, electricity, sewerage. But there is a telephone line, the Internet and portable solar battery.
People here live a wealthy life, but all very friendly. Neighbors bring seedlings, goodies, help advice. Local officials welcomed us with a smile. Patiently explained in English (everything is spoken) different nuances. Here in the government in general no one complains.
- Well, let's idyll. But then your daughter, where it will learn when older?
- Public schools are imbued with Christian education: children attend church, studying the Bible. Private schools - secular. But we dream to organize a Russian settlement with the school! For this call to our neighbors, a family from Russia. Issued the call on the web, there are already replies. We specifically for this and bought a large plot.
"In the city - a foot»
- The real man can be happy only when he does not set himself the goal to make a career - philosophizes Tatiana. - Today, people are burned at work, their loved ones do not. And all the time I spend with her husband and daughter in their own land.
- And the money ?!
- We can do without them - Tatyana flirts, not wanting to admit how much of cash, they took with them for the first time, but admits took. - Feed can always own the land ...
Now Belize - mango season. The fruits of the palm-sized fall here and there.
- And if you get tired of fruit life back in Russia?
- Yes, only in the city, in the jungles, will never live.
