@Perry1968 I am not personally familiar with Cardiff, Wales or any part of UK.
As for the natural beauty of Canada, it IS spot on. BUT one needs to actually reside and/or have a vocation were one is afforded the opportunity for travel and this is not my life.
Your friend's job would probably lend to various travel opportunities, by default; It sounds like an absolute dream :D !!!
I am re-reading this really cool book from events which took place, basically a century ago, about a family or families, but it focuses on ONE specific family, way out in the middle (literally :) ) of nowhere, in BC, regarding homesteading. >>>WOW. Amazing. Courageous and possess aptitude in droves and must have FAITh in themselves and as a young married couple, each other and be EXCEEDIN9LY resourceful and willing to learn learn and LEARN some more (for life. A but what a LIFE!!! :) ) I must learn, it is one of my core tenets; but I am not built for a homesteading life ( I am reasonably certain :D .) It is just a different world, a different life :))) And I am all for it, but not for me. I need more amenities to be present (like ma9ic, voila! lol) . I.E.: I do assemble furniture, 9arden, paint all sorts of stuff, etc....BUT: I will not build a water pump, or an entire home!!! Or scare off actual bears by SCEAMIN9 LOUD!!! But, this man`s adult daughter, does scare off 9rizzly bears by hollering VERY loudly!!! ...😳🙂↕😂👏
