A woman decided to move into a cave after falling in love with a tribesman who showed interest by liking her Instagram post.
A woman named Natalie Snider has made a surprising life change.
She moved from the United States to a cave in Jordan after falling in love with a local tribesman.
This unique story began with a simple Instagram post.
A chance encounter changed her life forever.
Natalie, who is 42 years old, was visiting Petra in Jordan when she took a photo of a man named Feras Boudin.
Feras, who is 32, was riding a horse, and Natalie thought he looked cool in the picture.
She shared the photo on her Instagram account. To her surprise, Feras commented on the photo, saying, “That’s me!”
Their online friendship quickly grew. Feras invited Natalie to visit him in Jordan, and she took him up on the offer.
This trip changed her life forever.
“I posted it on Instagram, and he commented, saying that’s me. He then said to come and visit, and so I did.”
“I have always been passionate about and interested in archaeology in the Middle East, and I have already been to Jordan for some years.”
Woman leaves city life to live in a cave with tribesman who liked her Instagram snap
Before meeting Feras, Natalie lived a busy life, traveling around the world.
She often moved between places like Italy, New Zealand, and Florida.
Her job as a tour guide allowed her to explore many countries.
However, after falling in love with Feras, she decided to settle down in a cave instead of continuing her nomadic lifestyle.
Natalie and Feras now live in a two-bedroom cave that has some modern comforts.
The cave includes a storage room, a balcony, and even a bathroom with spring water.
It is a big change from her previous life in a city condo overlooking the water.
The woman embraces a new lifestyle with the tribesman
She enjoys the beautiful views of the desert and the close-knit community of people living in the caves.
There are about 42 families in the cave community, and they all share a strong bond.
Natalie has learned to adapt to this way of life and feels connected to the culture.
She describes the tribe’s lifestyle as different from what many are used to.
Living in the caves means living simply, without many modern conveniences.
Natalie appreciates this simplicity and finds joy in sharing meals and stories with her neighbors.
“I’ve moved around the world my whole life and have always been a free spirit.”
This is probably the most grounded I’ve ever been and the most I have ever committed to one place.
“I just started a company to do tours in Jordan and authentic experiences.
Life now moves at a slower, more peaceful pace.
Natalie has noticed a big change in her daily routine since moving to the cave.
In her old life, she was always busy and often felt rushed. Now, she enjoys a slower pace.
“Life is tranquil and relaxed,” she says.
She spends her days taking tours, cooking, and enjoying time outdoors.
Feras has lived in the cave his entire life, and his family has deep roots in the area.
He loves the cave life and does not want to leave.
The couple has even signed a 10-year lease for a house in a nearby village, which they will use during the winter months.
However, they plan to return to the cave when it gets warmer.
They found a strong sense of community together.
One of the things Natalie loves most about her new life is the community spirit.
The cave dwellers regularly come together, making it feel like a big family gathering.
She describes it as being like Thanksgiving and Christmas all year round.
“There are about 42 communities in the caves. It is an open-door community, so everyone meets up together.
It’s like Thanksgiving and Christmas all year round.
Feras has built a handmade water system for their cave, making it comfortable and practical.
They also have solar panels, which help them live off the grid. This lifestyle allows them to be independent and enjoy nature.
“Feras’s tribe are the only people allowed to live in the cave because of how long they lived there and to keep the indigenous people in the caves.”
