Give me a life long sentence here and I´ll be happy

There is nothing but animals grazing for miles. People living in this vast area pay taxes for their land but get no bin men, no post office, or schools, nothing. We were staying in Juans family home, he says he was born there but its hard to believe what he says. He has a practical family, someone in his family had decided to keep a side table on the porch and add a sofa, in a small space so they nailed the table to the wall above the sofa, out of heads reach. It could have looked as though it was meant to be there as shelves if they sawed off the table legs, but they didn't.

Juan is a vet when the locals need his help and he farms meat which is traded for other goods like fruit with locals. A walk in storage cupboard has fruit for us all day long. Three delicous meals a day are made by Juan or his lovely Belgian wife Susannah (another vegie aka another strange one). We fill a bucket of water from the well outside to wash our goods down the toilet. A well in your garden is a lucky convenience here. We are told that we can work or not work everyday, it is our choice before the day begins but you cant change your mind when you are out there or it will confuse the animals.

I love being here. After hustling cities, too much to do and traveling through traffic: the natural habitat and personal sufficiency (with 3 hours electricity) is my perfect break. Um, I've just been told I will be castrating animals..... is that another lie?
