Escape from the city The hustle and bustle of the city should be the dream of many people. It would be even better if you can still live on your own island. Canadian artists Wayne Adams and Catherine King made this dream come true, spending 25 years creating a self-sufficient floating island off the coast of Vancouver Island in the southwest corner of British Columbia, Canada.

They built their own houses, grew their own plants, and tried their best to build Freedom Cove in a way that did not interfere with nature.

Gradually, Freedom Cove has grown in size. In addition to residences, Freedom Cove also has greenhouses and art galleries, all decorated with recycled materials.
Not only do they grow the food they need, but they also use solar energy to generate electricity and live a self-sufficient life.
Although Freedom Cove has been under construction for 25 years, but Wayne Adams and Catherine King have not stopped yet. They will continue to inject more new ideas into this floating island.
