A Canadian Couple Lives On A Self-Sustaining Floating Island They Built On Their Own

Canadian couple Wayne Adams and Catherine King living, in British Columbia. And it would be right to say floating, as the couple is residing in Freedom Cove, their self-sustaining floating island, northeast of Tofino, B.C.

Their house is running since 1992, and its 12 floating platforms include, amongst others, 5 glasshouses, an art gallery and a guest house. Adams and King are not just living the dream, they are – very literally, living off the dream! There are no food packages or visits to the supermarket, as the couple lives off nature.
