I've been researching communes (intentional living communities, basically where you live off the land and use very little resources and money), and I thought I'd ask if anyone in here has ever done this. Apparently there aren't very many of them but I don't know why, this seems like the perfect way to live. You earn your keep by cooking, cleaning, helping the community as a whole, and everyone is like-minded and close-knit. No worries about money or bills, you're surrounded by nature, doesn't it sound perfect? So I just thought i'd ask if anyone has ever had any experiences living in one or known someone who has lived in one!
