42-year-old American Natalie Snyder made an unexpected choice, leaving her job as a guide and the usual bustle of the city for life in the caves of Petra, Jordan.. The reason for such changes was her love for 32-year-old Bedouin Feras Budin, whom she met thanks to one comment on Instagram. The Daily Star writes about this.
Natalie spotted Feras as he sat proudly on his horse in the desert of Petra and took a photo of him. After posting a photo on a social network, she received a comment from a man who later invited her to come visit. This gesture marked the beginning of their relationship. They now live in a cave with two bedrooms, a storage room, a balcony and a bath with spring water..
Until this fateful moment, Natalie led a nomadic life, traveling to various countries, including Italy, New Zealand, Germany and the USA. However, now her home has become a cave, where she helps her lover in organizing tourist excursions and managing the household..
" This is a world where there is no place for fuss and isolation, but there is simplicity and a deep connection with people and nature,” shares Natalie.
Feras, a Petra native, proudly continues the traditions of his family, who have been living in the caves for generations. Despite government offers to move into modern housing, he remains true to his roots.
" This place is part of my soul and I can’t leave it,” he says.
In winter, the couple moves to a house in the village, rented for 10 years, and when it warms up they return to their cave. Thanks to solar panels and access to spring water, their lifestyle remains eco-friendly and independent.
Natalie quickly adapted to local customs and became part of a cave community of 42 families..
“Life here is an endless celebration of gratitude and mutual support,” she says.
The changes brought Natalie a sense of calm and satisfaction that cannot be found in the bustle of the city..
“Living in a cave taught me to appreciate simple moments and notice what is often missed in the rhythm of the city,” she adds.
Focus previously reported that the 64-year-old woman only dates younger men. Cindy Gallop noted that her romances with young men began completely by accident, but she decided to try to build relationships with them and has never regretted it since then.
It also became known that the model complained that her friends did not let her to Christmas dinner. Friends banned Marina Smith from participating in the holiday gathering, accusing her of being “too beautiful” and making them jealous and insecure..
