This channel is about self-reliant living.
I didn’t grow up with parents guiding me. I learned early how to manage without money and figure things out on my own.
Over time, I built practical skills and created a life I’m proud of — not by depending on others, but by becoming capable.
Here you’ll find DIY repairs, smart cooking with natural ingredients, and budget travel that helps you live well without overspending. Be capable. Manage wisely. Build a rich life with the people you love.
Welcome to Self-Reliant Living.

Kitchen project: I didn't know how much the materials cost. Thank you, Tarifs. The kitchen remodel video is coming soon. Right now, I am in the video-making process.

Do you live in a tight space? Would you like to know about an all-in-one washer and dryer? Soon, I will release DIY. There will be no more laundromat.

At the southern tip of South Korea, I met kind Korean ladies making kimchi by the ocean. When I asked to film, they welcomed me warmly and even gifted me two heads of freshly made kimchi. Such genuine thoughtfulness is rare. Have you experienced kindness like this recently?
