Finding Financial Freedom: Goodbye Mortgage, Hello RV Renovation!

Tiffany and Derek have two little girls. They bought a home like they “should,” but money was tight leaving them without any extra money to travel or even finish the home the way they wanted to.

Her DIY Truck Home has Curtains with Pockets – Brilliant!

Instead of letting a messy break-up break her down, or living in her rarely-used apartment, Chrissie chose to go tiny! She started off as a van-lifer, but the vehicle wasn’t mechanically sound, so she later opted for an awesome box truck that she has been turning into “home” for the past 3 years. It’s allowing [...]

Yoga Couple Go from Van-Life to Tiny Spanish Cottage

I really love Laxmi and Alby’s story, because it’s a great lesson to the tiny house movement: Tiny Living looks different for everyone, and can manifest itself in many different ways.
