Richart Sowa, 61, spent seven years building a free-floating eco-paradise near Mexico

He put a lot of work into constructing the floating eco-paradise, and it comes complete with a hot tub and Internet connection!

He wanted to share his new eco palace with someone special, so he met model Jodi Bowlin on Facebook and asked her to move in!

The artist, originally from Middleborough, Yorkshire, has dreamt of living on a floating island for two decades.

After two marriages, he finally decided to take ahold of his life and fulfill his dream.

It is 30 yards from the shore and has base made from air-filled plastic bottles, wood pallets and sand.
