Is it absolutely necessary to be someone and make your mark in this world? We all feel we do. Society tells us we have to. But reality can be different if the desire is strong. Solo Frey is a former engineer from Côtes-d'Armor who decided in 2017 to return to what he had known as a child: nature. He was looking for a space to put his caravan and ended up finding a place where he lives in harmony with the forest.
So he subsists independently near Mérillac in his "Nomade-Land" with the products of the woods, growing vegetables and the animals that accompany him. He draws his energy from photovoltaic panels. As he says himself, it was easier to choose this marginal path after having earned enough capital in his former life to legally acquire his land. Today, he pays only for the telephone and some foodstuffs, which he reckons amounts to 50 euros a month. He asks for no government assistance. The little money he needs is obtained from the sale of handicrafts made by him or Myriam, a woman who joined him in 2022. No one will be able to completely disconnect from the world, but it's entirely possible to do so for the most part and be happier despite appearances of misery.
