I quit the modern world to live off grid with no running water – everyone told me I was wasting my life but I love it | The Sun
A SELF-proclaimed "full-time mystic" has hit back at trolls who told her she was wasting her life by quitting the modern world.
Jasmine Mariposa has offered her followers a glimpse into her off-grid lifestyle, where she has no running water and instead bathes in a river.
Describing herself as a "jungle fairy", Jasmine shows how she prepares food and how she created her own "outdoor office".
She says she has proved a lot of people wrong who told her she was making a mistake.
In a video shared on her TikTok page Jasmine said: "You said I'm wasting my life following my dreams instead of going to school.
"Well that's rich coming from you. Because you're a passionless life that I do not envy.

In another video, Jasmine reveals how she uses the river to bathe.
She has also cleverly fashioned herself an "outdoor office" using a wooden pallet.
Footage shows her positioning a number of bricks on the ground before putting the pallet on top – as well as a blanket for comfort.
She then pops a container on top, which she uses to balance her laptop on.
And a further clip shows her preparing a coconut to eat by banging it with a rock, while another shows her harvesting fresh cocoa.
Jasmine also used turmeric before to dye her clothes.
She wrote in a TikTok caption: "The process was super simple — all I did was put the clothes I wanted to dye in a pot with turmeric and boiling water.
"I let it simmer for about 20-30mins until I liked the colour, then rinsed in the stream."
Many viewers have praised Jasmine for her bold lifestyle.
One wrote: "Off-grid homesteading is heaven."
Another said: "I'm so grateful I came across you because I am about to drop off university, I'm done with the matrix.
