Did you know that Matthew McConaughey, the famous actor, also enjoys small spaces? According to an article and interview with him in 2008 on Architectural Digest, he used to live out of a GMC van at least occasionally in 1996 which turned out to be too small for him. More recently, in 2004, McConaughey got himself a 2004 Airstream International CCD 28. He named his Airstream the Canoe.1
If you’re wondering where he keeps his Airstream it’s in an RV park in Malibu, California right on a prime surfing spot in the area. And so far, according to this article on Architectural Digest, McConaughey has used it for living out of, as an office, taking it on road trips, and more.1
The actor also mentions another thing you might enjoy about the beauty of small spaces in the article. McConaughey says, “the thing about small spaces is that they’re relaxing. You’re limited in your options.”3

It took him 5 years to build. It’s a complete labor of love. His name is Mike Basich and this is his DIY 225 sq. ft. tiny home on his 40-acre property in California. I’ve told you about him before here. But in this new video, you’ll get to go even deeper into his life and learn some new things about him and his incredible lifestyle. The best part about it all is that Mike Basich made his dreams a reality.
He even has his own chairlift which took him about 8 months to build with his friends so he can go snowboarding on his own property. His house may be tiny, but he literally has his own resort. And his tiny cabin’s design is just absolutely awesome. See for yourself below. 🙂

Inspiring, empowering and uplifting are not even words that can describe Alexis and Christian’s Tiny House Expedition.
The awesome duo are building a tiny house on wheels. But they are not doing it on their own.
With local community roundtable discussions and group builds they are empowering those around them to get involved in the tiny house movement.
They hold community build days where people can come out and see the tiny house being built and contribute if they like.
The community roundtable discussions in their local area are geared to spread awareness about tiny houses and the innovative housing opportunity for everyone.
Once the tiny house is complete Alexis and Christian will be heading out on a journey around the U.S to show off their tiny house and let thousands of people see it and tour it. All while documenting other tiny houses and tiny house communities they encounter along the way.
“The purpose: document tiny house community building projects across the nation and tell the story of how each came into being, the people behind them & how they are making a difference in their communities.” – Tiny House Expedition

If you’re an Airstream travel trailer lover like I am, I think you’ll really enjoy this renovation. It’s a story about a family of four who partnered with Anthropologie to transform an old Airstream trailer into a beautiful tiny home on wheels.
This little home has been named the Wandering Star. I think you might agree that you’ve never seen an Airstream that probably looks and feels like a cozy home more than this one. It’s just awesome, isn’t it?
Oh wait, you probably haven’t even seen it yet! Just wait until you see inside. I think you’ll be pretty amazed. Not only is it awesome, but it serves as a reminder that you can live tiny in a renovated travel trailer too! Especially if you desire to travel often. Remember, there are many ways to live tiny (and stick-built tiny homes on trailers aren’t the only way). So please enjoy the tour, visit Sarah Schneider, and re-share this with your other Airstream-loving friends below. 🙂
