The middle east is right out, as are high population density countries, China, India, Japan. I would stand out in Africa, much of South America, Pacifica, and southeast Asia.

Primary interest areas include the northern US, Gulf of Mexico states in the US, Canada.

I am available to discuss all options.

Have 160 acres, south coast of Oregon greenhouse, very young orchard,
chickens pigs and goats. Off grid "no pwer" spring water, two tiny cabins with woodstoves. This is very hard living steep and remote, yet is 10 miles to the beach 25 to nearest town. Unfortunately I am going to go broke setting it up and need to go back to portland to work to pay for it. We are either going to sell all the animals and use it as vacation "project" property or have someone stay there with limited support while we build it up to the point where it can sustain itself. Google Pistol River Oregon and let me know what you think. If you get on google earth you can follw north bank pistol river road to 100 spur we are off that.
