Hello everybody

My wife and I are in the process of selling our house and then plan to do some travelling before hopefully starting a new life in British Columbia near my wife's Father and Stepmom.
The plan is to set up a Yoga/Fitness/Outdoors retreat (my wife's a Yoga teacher and I'm a Personal Trainer with a military background). We would like a property with a couple of acres within about an hour of the nearest town but we plan eventually to try and become as off-grid as possible.
Any suggestions on towns/villages, any guidance on becoming self-sufficient or any general guidance at all would be greatly appreciated.

Look forward to chatting and learning from others - Simon.

Hi Simon and welcome to our world. Okay, I'm not a Brit and I didn't emigrate but still this is a great place to make friends and find information when you are immigrating to a new country. Luckily for you, your spouse is a Canadian citizen (hope this is true) and you have in-laws who are familiar with the area you are planning to go to.

Enjoy your stay with us and if you have any questions regarding the site or any problems navigating, please give a holler to one of the mods who will be happy to assist you.
