Leslie has her priorities correct! Why waste money on living in an AirBnB when you can temporarily live off-grid on your OWN land. Africans should not be shunning her creativity and resourcefulness. Keep it up Leslie

I LOVE the idea. You could 100% apply some lacquer or polyurethane coat to the coconut hut and even apply some colour to make it stay green, and people would definitely come and choose those as rentals as well.
