As Europeans live, voluntarily give up the benefits of civilization

Over the last thirty years in Europe, there was an unprecedented first trend: many quite wealthy Europeans left the city and went to sparsely populated areas, such as the Sierra de Cazorla in Spain, French Pyrenees, some uninhabited areas of Switzerland. Bryui began to meet with these people, joining as a volunteer for WWOOF - organization engaged in a number of international programs of rural tourism that allow to combine tourism with the work in organic agriculture.



This "manor" in the French Pyrenees belongs to a German national, moved here with his family for twenty-five years ago. Since then, he rebuilt his shack in a completely full house provided everything necessary for life. The house has no electrical equipment, but the solar panels provide enough energy for its lighting.



Although the family later left him, the Germans continued to live here, along with four other people. In addition, they provide temporary shelter for about another twenty strangers.

The photo - utility housing, located on the same estate of the Pyrenees. It seems small, but it is only at first glance. In fact, this lodge - about nine meters high. It itinerant volunteers stop in the summer months.



This man has lived in this house for the last two years.

This nomadic herders from Germany, traveling from farm to farm on the territory of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. He was "hired" to the owners of estates in aid for grazing cows and sheep.



The owner of this "estate" - an Englishwoman. Twenty years ago it was traveling by bicycle, hit by a car. By selling our original accommodation, it has acquired a plot of land in Spain and start his own hands to build a mansion on it. The photo - environmentally safe homemade bio-toilet.



On this farm in Spain there are three families engaged in cultivation of fruits and vegetables in the community garden. The land belongs to the web designer that half of their time engaged in the development of Internet sites, and the other holds in his "country estate».



This woman and her husband left Germany twenty years ago, and went to the uninhabited area of ​​Switzerland - away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Now they are completely self-supporting life, producing the necessary food on their own. Before moving to Switzerland, she was a professor and dealt with the literature and philosophy.



Her husband, before abandoning the urban way of life, was an engineer. Most people with whom I communicate Bryui Antoine, told him that left the city on their own, apart from the decision reasonable and necessary. "Many people told me that they do not see any sense in urban life. Others told us that just physically could no longer bear it, "said the photographer.
