We're Yusti and Steve, a Russian and a Brit. We used to live in big cities in different parts of the world, enjoy fast-paced life, and focus on career. Fast-forward to today and we’re a (almost) zero-waste, slow living vegetarian family living in a tiny village in the South of France, working remotely and practicing lots of yoga. On this channel, we share our renovation, homesteading, and self-sufficiency journey as well as everyday life in rural France and our adventures outdoors.

We’ve filming updates about our garden and what we did wrong. But don’t have the opportunity to edit at the moment. So we’ll have to limit ourselves to this small check in — for everyone who said that you can’t grow in compost 😋

Hi all! I haven’t been able to stick to my uploading schedule these past two weeks because my dad is visiting and I’ve prioritised offline life. But we’re working on a couple of exciting projects with him and I try to film as we go, so hopefully there’ll be fun content for you to enjoy. Bisous 😽

Slow living in France: food, travel, low impact
Hi there! Wanted to greet all the new subscribers! Welcome to our channel where me, Yusti, and my husband Steve (hence the name — @stiviniya) share our renovation journey and the behind-the-scenes of living in rural France. I'm glad you enjoyed the '5 secrets of our house' video! In the next video we're going to take you through the messiest job we've had to do in the house so far. Be warned: even watching the video might make you want to sneeze! The work in the garden waylaid me a bit so it'll probably come out on the weekend. Or earlier if I'm lucky. Stay tuned and drop a comment below to say hi and ask questions. Salut!

The French Alps, especially Chamonix, is such a special place — one that still feels most like home to us. Join us for a week of skiing, snowboarding and fonduing in the new vlog: https://youtu.be/Roc38jlNbHk.
