Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Cami Ostman, a 56-year-old writer and writing coach from Shoreline, Washington.
She wasn't going to do anything with the land, so she said I could have it.
I can think of seven friends in my age range who've bought off-grid land or purchased sprinter vans or RVs.
In Seattle, I'm accountable to my students and employees, but when I'm on my land, I leave my work behind.
There's nothing I miss when I'm in the yurt — it's so ridiculously peaceful.
