A 35-year-old man quit his supermarket job to live in a self-built tree house in the middle of the Hawaiian jungle.
Robert Breton had been working as a cashier in Northern California when he decided it was time to live a more remote lifestyle.
In 2011, he began traveling the US to find the perfect place to settle before purchasing a quarter acre of land in Hawaii.
The lot, plus construction materials, cost him $29,850 and he now lives a sustainable lifestyle in an attempt to ‘preserve nature’.
Robert Breton, 35, was working as a cashier in Northern California when he decided it was time to live a more remote lifestyle.
It took Robert two years to erect the 200-square-foot home, which rises 40 feet off the ground, in the Hawaiian jungle.
The 35-year-old did not have to seek a building permit as it is located in an ‘unregulated agricultural zone’
It took Robert two years to erect the 200-square-foot house that rises 40 feet off the ground.
He did not have to seek a building permit as it is located in an ‘unregulated agricultural zone’.
The unconventional structure features a living room, a bedroom, and a full bathroom with a shower, toilet, and hot water.
Robert also has a greenhouse where he grows most of his food, including sweet potatoes, kale, and microgreens.
But you’ll occasionally buy grains, quinoa, and other supplements in the local village, which is over an hour’s walk away.
Robert recently took to TikTok to document his lifestyle, gaining more than 843,000 followers on the video-sharing platform with content that “encourages others to go back to basics and appreciate beautiful nature.”
His content, along with the New Earth Organic supplement business, is the way he makes a living.
Speaking about his new way of life, Robert said: ‘It’s definitely livable, beautiful and functional – I collect rainwater from the roof to drink and it flows into the kitchen and bathroom.

“I also have solar panels for electricity, I use them for my kitchen, and wi-fi to do TikToks. I don’t really miss anything from my old life.”
So your monthly cost is minuscule, and you only spend about $25 a month to make sure you have internet access.
Robert said he adjusted quickly, adding: “I can’t have pizza delivered, or have someone pick up my trash, or have my mail delivered to my house – that was a bit strange at first.”
“But I think it made me realize that we all need to be more conscious of our trash: I compost as much as I can and try to have little waste.
“I think it’s a responsibility for all of us, as individuals, to be mindful of our trash, the water you have to bring yourself, and the food we grow.
Now he believes he will stay and continue to ‘live a life of sustainability’ in the future.
