This is Sophie’s second interview with Tiny Home Tours. Two years ago she was a full-time consultant living full-time in her van. Since then, she’s traveled internationally, spent some time in Baja, quit her full-time job, and started homesteading on a friend’s hunting land in Kentucky. Oh, and she gutted and re-did her whole van!
The van now has super groovy cabinets covered in 70s-inspired wallpaper. She swapped her stationary bed for a U-shaped dinette that converts at night, and she replaced her giant upper cabinets with lots more with a smaller footprint. Now she can travel in her van part-time and then live in the tiny shed she’s converting the rest of the time.
