Former S Club 7 star Hannah Spearritt has actually just recently thrilled her Instagram fans with posts from her idyllic new tropical home in Costa Rica, where she and her partner Adam Thomas are identified to 'live off the land'.
Hannah, 44, altered her bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and developer now living the uninhibited jungle life.'
But as these unique photos show, even an eco-warrior needs the periodic visit to the grocery store in their gas-guzzling 4x4.
Last week, Adam, 45, loaded up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly shop at the substantial BM grocery store in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their two young children have actually based themselves.
Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and spectacular views of rich green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved farewell to in January.
Hannah announced to her 348k Instagram followers that the couple now plan to 'discover permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing fruit and vegetables.
But locals and other expats in the hills above Dominical on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, told MailOnline that the challenges of self-sufficiency can be 'enormous'.
'Naturally it depends on several factors such as how much dough you have, just how much land and above all, just how much experience,' said an American member of the local ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

Despite Hannah altering her Instagram bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and developer now living the uninhibited jungle life', Adam was seen this week stocking up on the weekly shop at B&M

'It can be done, naturally, however there are a great deal of individuals who've attempted and ignored how difficult it is, then been required to try to find some other sort of paid work rather to get by.'
If that need to happen to Hannah and Adam, there would be a lot of chances in the growing traveler and browsing resort of Dominical, must the couple choose to work.
The town is less than half an hour's drive down the mountain in their big gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah displayed on Instagram just recently.
There is a large range of high-end hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end restaurants, natural food stores, junk food restaurants and a substantial BM grocery store, where the couple have actually both been seen.
Though some Instagram fans have presumed the couple's wooden home with marvelous views of the sunrise from the balcony would be 'off grid', it practically definitely is not.
More than 99 per cent of the numerous rental properties and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast air conditioning and high-speed web as well, delivered either by fibre optic cable or satellite.
Judging by images published by Adam on Facebook in their airy kitchen area with a high vaulted ceiling, the household won't do not have any mod cons in the home.
At the supermarket today, MailOnline found Adam filling a trolley high with items consisting of loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment, he emptied the truck of some rubbish including a soda cup from McDonald's.
One real estate agent in Dominical told MailOnline: 'There is an extremely healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. Much of them are digital wanderers running their service from here due to the fact that it's beautiful, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.
'But really making a living from the land is a hard job, unless you have significant resources and knowledge, or have enough residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying visitors.'
Hannah published this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the family's new starts after giving up the UK for the warmer climes of central America
However, the truth is that Hannah and Adam are utilizing this environmentally hostile 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the everyday tasks like popping to the supermarket
Hannah transferred to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised setbacks consisting of the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her giving up S Club 7
It's not understood how much capital Hannah and Adam have in between them, but their plans to open a holistic supermarket in Twickenham needed to be shelved in 2015, apparently since of spiralling costs.
The industrial residential or commercial property in the heart of Twickenham village, bought in Hannah's name in November 2018 for ₤ 520,000 with a mortgage, was offered in March, having actually been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.
Adam revealed the couple's transfer to Central America back in January with a foul-mouthed attack on Britain, declaring 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing great deal of them. We GOOONE!!!'.
His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet photo of his two daughters, Taya, 5 and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their sensational rain forest home.
But the bitter tone of his invective against political leaders of all hues, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every government department and the NHS' raised another concern.
Could an unsightly occurrence which saw the couple clash with cops and social workers three years earlier over an injury to their infant child have been a consider their decision to quit Britain?
The move to Costa Rica gave an end a well-publicised headache few years for Hannah, that included the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her uncomfortable departure from S Club 7, a disastrous breast augmentation surgical treatment resulting in years of disease and a spell in rehab to wean her off effective discomfort killers.
But less popular is among the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest memoir', concerning a clash between the couple and social services.
In December 2022, while house-sitting for pals in Virginia Water, Surrey, press reports branded the couple 'homeless' while they were between rental flats.
When then toddler Tora suffered an injury, believed to be caused by a dog jumping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We discovered ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely outrageous scenario to be in, absolutely unjustified.'
She recalled the horrific occurrence when she ran towards the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I came across in the living-room will stick with me forever. Tora was basing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I have actually ever seen.'
At the health center, she wrote: 'One of the nurses can be found in, and asked Adam if she might have a word with him outside. What I didn't know was that as soon as he left the room, the cops were waiting for him and detained him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was already a horrible scenario had ramped up to something inexpressible'.
When the household landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this photo on his public Facebook page of their 2 children and included an expletive-laden rant at the UK
Adam - visualized in the couple's large Costa Rica apartment or condo - ranted about Keir Starmer, the Tories, Reform and the NHS as he bid farewell to Britain
But after the bitterness of giving up the UK, the household's dreams of a brand-new live have come real as they take pleasure in morning waterfall strolls and an outside playground as part of their daily lives
Hannah declared that media reports about their short-lived homelessness had in some way convinced the authorities that it was most likely that one or other of them had actually caused their daughter's injuries.
She said: 'It's truly frightening to believe that someone with absolutely zero proof can paint a photo like that which influences someone being jailed and locked up while their child lies in a healthcare facility bed, waiting for major surgical treatment.'
She included: 'It seemed like persecution, one of those police states that individuals discuss.
'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive individuals accountable, although we have actually made every effort to ignore it, and them, as quickly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services conducted their examination, she said, the household had to live in lodging where other responsible adults were present.
She included: 'This was adding insult to serious injury and bearing in mind my steady decline in health normally, I was really beginning to despair.'
It wasn't the first time Adam Thomas had actually been examined for supposed violence. In 2016, he was charged with attacking Hannah in a domestic argument, and intimidating a witness.
But when the case pertained to trial, it collapsed, and he was found not guilty of common attack and witness intimidation throughout a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that three prosecution witnesses were not available which the case could not continue.
Adam Thomas was found not guilty and discharged.
Hannah and Adam are thought to have actually chosen Costa Rica to settle after taking pleasure in a journey to the spectacular area in 2018.
Hannah has actually consistently required to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the move has actually ended up for them and marvelled at the appeal of Costa Rica
The check out initially influenced them to establish the coffee shop, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never ever ready to open totally and they sold up earlier this year.
A source stated: 'It's the most recent in a series of setbacks. The brand-new plan is offering up and relocating to Costa Rica to live off the land.'

Following the row, the other members - Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett - announced that they would continue as a five-piece.

Hannah was said to have actually been blindsided by the S Club announcement, with her being left on bad terms with the band in which she rose to fame in the early 2000s.
She then supposedly drafted in attorneys and made the bold move to launch her autobiography on the very same day the band would have required to the stage.
Before Paul's death, all 7 members of the chart-topping band at first confirmed they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary trip.
Hannah at first refused to join the line-up, pointing out a lack of child care and just accepted sign up with when music supervisor Simon Fuller offered to pay for baby-sitters to come along.
