downshiftme.com Podcast Feed - www.downshiftme.com

www.downshiftme.com - the website of Matt and AJ and the story of our change from city life in Leeds, UK to a simpler country life in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hopefully there will also be something for those who also wish to downshift for a simpler more natural lifestyle. This is the podcast only feed.
