I'm in my last year of uni, studying psychology and commerce. I adore travel, adventures and excitement and really love the concept of this village. I love the idea of having all my family, living together in the one place. My special aunts, uncles, cousins, parents and siblings. I think living sustainably is increasingly important, and that the way we currently live, in terms of our resource use is ludicrously shortsighted. I also really like the idea behind community. The greatest example I have seen of this was in a homestay I did in rural Malaysia. Here, everyone who lives in the small village are members of the one family or very close friends, and there is such a feeling of connection and solidarity.
As Ben Lee sang...
I'm made of atoms
You're made of atoms...
though on the subway we feel like strangers...
But we're all in this together.
