I was a little surprised to see a new show on HGTV, "Off the Grid" which features first world couples or families who move to 2nd or 3rd world countries and live in remote areas. For some the motive is adventure, others want to escape the rat race, others just want to live cheaply.
Just watched an episode where a young family moves from Australia to Bhutan. Rent on their primitive little house? $60/month.
Guess I never thought HGTV would feature shows like this when almost every other show on that channel is subtly or not so subtly advising you to upgrade your living space constantly.
