Teaching English classes, baking bread, clearing land for off-grid gardening, writing articles and collecting crypto online.

I could end this article right here, but then how would you know HOW I got into all of these projects?

Teaching English was rather easy to begin. I simply met with people in the community and asked if they would like to learn English to advance in their jobs, and possibly go to the USA and be able to actually use it.

Over the last 3 years, I have had around 40 students, but the majority of them didn't take the classes seriously, and just decided to end them.

Of all the students, only 8 have been taking classes regularly, with minimal cancellations.

I have had ideas in the past to make money here in Mexico, and about a year ago, I was eating an artisanal loaf of bread, that was sweet, and went well with milk.

I remembered that my sister had a recipe for zucchini bread, that she got from our grandmother several years ago.

I asked her for it, and baked one loaf, and the friends that I had made, I asked their opinion.

Needless to say, it was an instant hit. And a few of them actually found other people to help me sell it.

Over the last 6 months, I have been baking around 2 loaves per day, with 5 different people selling it for me. They take a percentage of the profit of course, and what I get, gives me some extra pesos to purchase items I need for classes, more ingredients, and recently, a pair of shoes, and a backpack.

This part of the venture is going well, and hopefully, in the future, I can purchase a two tiered stove and sell it myself in the city center.

The off-grid gardening thing came about by pure chance, and it started when I was still living outside in the tent.

I made friends with a guy who owns a huge amount of land with his siblings.

I would go down and teach his niece English in her section of the land that she owns with her mother, and soon after, they allowed me to set my tent up on their land.

After a long while, I leased a portion for just 200 pesos per month, and grew cucumbers, and tomatoes and have those videos on Bastyon.

In that time as well, I wrote my fictional book on the Bastyon Blockchain, and updated the community with videos about the work I was doing.

At this moment, I am clearing another piece of land that has been a ton of work, burning the weeds, using a pickaxe to overturn the dirt to get the rocks and huge stones out.

I am getting it ready to plant onions for another family member who sells his products to a Japanese restaurant owner in Mexico City.

This is obviously hard work, bit I enjoy it.

And the building an online presence is another thing I am trying to do.

Gathering crypto, and writing articles to make extra money every month has also been a tough thing.

My morning is early, starting around 6 am.

First I check some crypto sites, then finish up articles I started the night before to publish by 8: 30 or 9 am.

I then bake my loaves of bread, and have them ready by 8 am for the people to pick up and sell, or I go to them later in the day while heading to my English classes.

I then leave by 10 am for the classes which are usually finished by 2 pm. I then head to the garden to work for 4 or 5 hours, then head back home to do more online work, and then head to bed around 11:30 or midnight.

These jobs are very difficult some days, and I have been losing weight, but after the garden is cleared out, I can rest a bit.

So, these are the things I am doing in Mexico.
