I went to a little coastal town in Mexico for a two week surf trip and ended up staying there for over a year. It had everything I wanted that would otherwise take monumental effort to acquire elsewhere. The food came from local farms because local farms were cheapest. The milk was raw. The seafood was caught that morning from the beach. There was no 5g. There wasn't even 4g. One 3g tower for the whole town. No shirt or shoes were required. Indoor outdoor living was the only option. There was no traffic. No hearing the freeway at night. No noise pollution. No urban sprawl and subdivisions. Best of all, there were no rules. The town governed itself. Everybody knew each other so there was little crime. I drove an unregistered dirtbike as my only transport and never got pulled over. I paid for everything in cash. Including rent. No hidden fees, no contracts, no schemes. I didn't have Amazon or access to a supermarket and honestly I enjoyed the lack of convenience. You don't actually need 90% of what you think you need and they only promote consumerism. Activities revolved around the beach and around the community. Being on devices is nauseating in a place like this. Is it ideal for productivity? Probably not. But I'd rather have 10% the productivity in a clear state of mind than the other 90% in the neurotic, anxiety-ridden haze of remote work and apartment living. Most comforts are not designed for your benefit but rather to keep you trapped. Its a control mechanism. The more conveniences you can give up, the freer you become.
