Born and raised in Milan, Italy, Joshua didn’t feel like he could thrive within the modern, Western culture he found himself in. At 20, he decided to leave home in order to explore the world and see what it would teach him. With 50 euros in his pocket and a one-way ticket, he left without knowing where this new chapter would lead.<br/><br/>Joshua worked a myriad of jobs - an electrician, mason, model, retailer, waiter, chef, farmer, etc. He lived for periods in cities all over the globe London, Sydney, Auckland, Cape Town, Los Angeles and more. Then he ventured to rural awe-inspiring landscapes. Midway through his travels Joshua started to leave behind hostels, guests houses and rental rooms, in order to find rest in tents, caves, beaches, temples, and forests. <br/><br/>After seven years of life altering experiences exploring remote regions of the world and learning from the places and people he encountered, Joshua came to the conclusion that our modern Western world, is rooted in materialism, consumerism and superficialities. This is leading us away from Mother Nature - the source of independence, freedom and inner expansion.<br/><br/>Willing to leave those said societal structures once and for all, he started to look for a native piece of land where to move. After a demanding and dedicated search, he discovered that his father’s ancestors left plots of lands in heritage - in Ghana. This brought him back to his Motherland to track down and reclaim this inherited land.<br/><br/>Joshua moved into the bush with only a mosquito net and a beach bed. His home that he has lived in for the past 3 years, he built himself out of cow dung, mud, clay, and bamboo. After digging a well, planting fruit trees, Joshua has been working on expanding his eco-village by building more dwellings on the land.<br/><br/>In 2019, Joshua began sharing his journey on social media and started Asaase - Live to Learn. Learn to Live - a series of online and in person courses centered around relearning Indigenous practices, organic farming, decolonization and natural building methods. Joshua has amassed a large online following who are inspired by his journey and want to learn from him. <br/><br/>In our conversation we speak about Joshua’s paradigm shift, the challenges he has faced while building his new community, how to find and follow your purpose, working through fear-based narratives, and rediscovering ancestral knowledge.<br/><br/><b><em>This is a story about the transformative power of travel, choosing earth centric living, and the value of persevering through fears and obstacles in order to live</em></b></p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/urbanexodus">Support the show</a><p><b>Sign up for </b><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-urban-exodus-podcast/id1542089149'><b>Apple Podcasts premium </b></a><b>or our</b><a href='https://www.patreon.com/urbanexodus'><b> Patreon Membership</b></a><b> for ad-free listening, rapid-fire guest interviews & our new mini-pod Ditch the City.<br/> <br/></b><a href='http://www.urbanexodus.com'><b>urbanexodus.com</b></a><b> | </b><a href='http://instagram.com/theurbanexodus/'><b>@theurbanexodus</b></a><b> | </b><a href='https://bookshop.org/a/25581/9781624143915'><b>buy the book</b></a></p>
