Recently looked at the statistics of requests on the Internet for the word “Thailand” and saw that everything sagged more than twice. It and unsurprisingly, the main bonus “cheapness” now applies more to Russia than to foreign countries. And, as I understood, the story about Yakutia also liked everyone. Although the place is not a budget, yes still horror, how cold. It may well be that the new trend wintering will be Sochi and Crimea. I hope I go there and scout environment, places familiar, but as a wintering we still have not never seriously considered.
Another wintering option, but for an amateur, can be houses in village or ecovillage. Fits, most likely, is only introverts, or those who already have friends there. The other day i I went to my friends in the Glorious settlement and looked at how they live, and what they do.
Winter Glorious
I already wrote about summer Glorious, everything is fine and not boring. It is full of people, children run, play, some events are organized. And, of course, nature is all around, the sun is shining, next to it is a spring with clear water, an artificial pond where you can swim, pine and birch forest, where you can go for mushrooms or just think. AND, This is in addition to occupying the site itself everything and everything, for example, building a house or other buildings, growing vegetables and fruits. Well, this is for those, of course, to whom like.
From the highway to the settlement go 10 minutes
The road to the 5th field, this is where our friends live
But in winter, the picture changes to the opposite, so the place, as I said, is more suitable for introverts capable of will hibernate or head off into the implementation of their virtual projects (internet business). In principle, it’s time, for In the summer of business there will be hoo, try everything in 5 warm months! Our friends do the home improvement work suspended, and they are fully engaged in their freelancing and recently born baby. They spend the winter in the settlement a week in a week, leaving for Moscow. In principle, when the house is completed, the need for frequent trips to Moscow will disappear, for comfort is enough, and there is a supermarket in Pushchino, like the rest of civilization (well, or in Serpukhov can go).
The house of our friends, they did not normally take pictures inside, they say, mess
On the second floor where there is no mess
Great view from the window, stimulate work or write memoirs
And this is the house of our other friends, but along the way they move to Sochi
In winter, the Glorious is almost extinct. As I understand, winters now about 20 families and their number is not particularly growing year from of the year. Therefore, passing through the settlement, it seems that there generally there is not anyone. And given that the plots of 1-3 hectares, the houses get lost in such a huge space, become invisible to the eye This is not a summer partnership with 6 acres, where everyone is on friend. And one of the fields is covered with forest in general, and for all that you can see nothing behind the living wall of trees, neither in winter nor summer.
Actually, this is how Glorious looks like – trees and houses
No one, only houses stick occasionally
Houses are completely different, there are cottages, and there are quite small ones, including some adobe

Somehow there was a case, we lived with the family for a couple of weeks in Glorious late spring and I described all our delights. And then also told about the life of the settler. We then lived with our friends who went to Sochi (tried on the move), and we lived in their place. how one-time action is very cool, but it would not be decided on a permanent basis, since I wanted more comfort. So since then, Nice has got good all-season road and normal electricity instead alternative. Therefore, comfort is now much more organized simpler. And then it was possible, just now it will be cheaper. and is already available to everyone. It’s one thing to buy solar panels with windmills, another thing just a socket with wires. Well, in general the problems are now much less, do not start the generator or something else in this spirit.

Even in winter, you can walk with a stroller, before it was a mess
P.S. Despite the love of Southeast Asia and the desire to go abroad at all, we are still considering this option for ourselves, because if perishing to live here, I would definitely like to be in the house and closer to nature though would be part of the year.
P.P.S. There is a settlement throughout Russia, and in the Krasnodar Territory in including. I think it would be more pleasant to spend the winter there. climate
