When Lina Menard was 14 years old, she was already interested in cohousing.

Granted, this all definitely didn’t happen over night. This is something Lina [...]

I had to show you this weird but interesting Villa Hamster tiny house in Nantes, France. It’s a hotel that you can actually stay at and it’s set up with a human-sized hamster wheel inside!

Just hitch your portable tiny house to your vehicle and tow it anywhere you want to go! It’s even registered as an RV, which has its pros and cons. Of course, the major advantage to a “mobile” home like this is that you can travel and have a place to stay. However, because of its [...]

This is an inspiring story about an ordinary man who builds a tiny house for a homeless mother, Irene McGee, who’d been sleeping outside on the dirt.
