Living in the New Mexico desert brings a unique, peaceful lifestyle that my family and I cherish. Unlike those seeking attention, you won’t often see me in our videos—we love to share our adventures but prefer to keep our lives private. Yet, many have asked to know more about who we are. So here’s a glimpse: we’re simply people who care, who appreciate the unusual and mysterious. We love ghost stories, aliens, even a few conspiracies. Halloween is our favorite time of year, and our collection of weird and symbolic objects reflects our love for the strange. We aren’t religious, but we are deeply spiritual.
Living off-grid in the desert has brought its challenges, not just from nature but also from misunderstandings about who we are. People have told us we “live in the gray area” or “outside the box,” and we don’t disagree. We keep our minds open and welcome anyone who comes to us with respect. However, this openness has been tested. We’ve had to learn the hard way that not everyone truly needs help—some people just want to take advantage. And while we love to lend a hand, we now do so carefully, knowing we can’t afford to be used.
Our values are simple: honesty, respect, and a nonjudgmental approach. But we’re also protective of what matters to us—our family, friends, and beliefs. As much as we strive to stay open-minded, there are times we need to assess others’ intentions. It’s not always easy to live without some judgment when we’ve had visitors attempt to “dig up dirt” on us. The truth is, there’s nothing to hide; we are who we are, but we’ll still defend our boundaries when necessary.
Unfortunately, we’ve also had our share of rumors and negativity directed our way, which has been a difficult pill to swallow. I’m a sensitive person, and these false stories do hurt. I know that even bad publicity can bring awareness, but it doesn’t make it any easier to hear. Living out here has taught us to stay true to ourselves and focus on what truly matters: a life of freedom, mystery, and respect.
