Nikky de Graaf, a 30-year-old photographer, left the busy city life for the tranquility of the countryside. She moved into a small cottage on her parents’ land, spending just $1,660 on the initial purchase and $1,250 to move it to the property.
Despite the initial lack of amenities, Nikky transformed the cottage into a cozy living space with all the essentials. With the help of her family, she built a deck and created a serene outdoor area.
Nikky’s daily life revolves around animal care, property maintenance, and photography. She values the close-knit community and the natural beauty of her surroundings. She doesn’t miss the hustle and bustle of city life, as she finds contentment in the peace and tranquility of the countryside.
Nikky maintains connections with friends and family in the city, visiting them a few times a year. However, she prefers the simplicity and affordability of rural living. She dreams of exploring the countryside of other countries but remains committed to a life surrounded by nature.
