“I also have a beautiful shower on the veranda with a beautiful rock platform. “There’s two rooms, one bedroom, one living room/kitchen and then there’s a spacious veranda,” Joshua said. Joshua lived with a family in Samoa for a few months and this inspired him to live more sustainably (Collect/PA Real Life) He makes a living through his social media, as well as hosting workshops on his off-grid lifestyle, inviting guests to stay on-site in glamping tents and selling items that he and people in the area have grown online. Joshua shares his off-grid lifestyle on TikTok and Instagram, where he has hundreds of thousands of followers, to “show people that people can have a similar lifestyle to (him)”. Joshua spent just £1,000 on materials, using mainly clay, cow dung and bamboo, to construct his 27ft by 10ft house – he completed the project in just six months and it is now a fully functioning home with no monthly bills, complete with a shower, toilet, bedroom, kitchen and living area, with running water and a clay fridge. In 2019 Joshua decided to settle in one place and embrace the off-grid lifestyle he had experienced while travelling (Collect/PA Real Life) He began living remotely in Ghana on a beach bed, with a mosquito net, tarpaulin and some tools, before upgrading to a tent which he lived in for around a year until it attracted mould – it was then, in 2020, that he began to build a house. Joshua Kwaku Asiedu, 31, who grew up in Milan and now lives in Ghana, was inspired to live off-grid after travelling the globe for seven years to “find himself” and has been living remotely since 2019 after his father told him his family had land available in Ghana. A man who lives off grid in a house made from clay, cow dung and bamboo in the middle of a tropical forest in Ghana, and who generates an income from social media, says living off grid is simply “so good” he cannot keep it to himself.
