After walking the Camino de Santiago twice — five weeks each time, as little as she could carry — Joanne came home to a Sydney studio and wondered why she had so much stuff. Then a workplace injury left her with a permanent injury and a mortgage she was worried about keeping. She sold the apartment. Her daughter and son-in-law offered a patch of their Blue Mountains land. Two years in, she lives mortgage-free. The main house ran close to AU$220,000; both tinies came to about AU$250,000, plus AU$35,000 of groundwork and a AU$20,000 deck.

Allison Williams and her family sold a modest Portland house so Dad could stay home. They bought land in Port Angeles, Washington, and a tiny house on wheels — and spent nearly eight years mortgage-free. Their daughter grew up in 290 square feet. She’s becoming a teen now and outgrowing her spaces, so they’re selling the tiny house. The land already sold separately, to someone who already has a tiny house of their own.

This is the story of the Schons and their DIY tiny home. They’re a family of four who built their tiny house over 2 years and moved into the Lake Dallas Tiny Home Community outside Dallas, Texas.
The kids each have their own unique bedroom with personalized painted ceilings and decoupaged floors, which adds such an amazing touch. They homeschool and love the life that tiny living affords them.
This is the Evans family (their Instagram). They’re a family of 8 with pets (3 dogs and a snake) living on a bus that they renovated themselves. That’s 8 people, 3 dogs, and a snake living and traveling out of a DIY bus conversion (their YouTube Channel).
They are excited to be traveling the world and giving their children real experiences instead of just reading and watching movies. Pretty cool parents, right? This story is brought to you thanks to the Tiny Home Tours YouTube Channel.

This is the story of a young couple, Sam and Mary, who wanted to live tiny but also plan on starting a family.
So they decided to design and build a tiny house on wheels that would accommodate that! And they went from apartment, to tiny house thanks to the help of their builder, Mint Tiny Homes. Here’s their story thanks to Jenna at Tiny House Giant Journey.
This is the story of Phil and Cynthia and their newborn. Now, they are a growing tiny house family. And because of that, they’ve decided to build a second tiny home to best suit their needs. And we think it’s great!
We’ve seen lots of stories and situations of people who’ve grown out of their tiny homes… But what if they could have just built a second tiny home? Well, not everyone has the perfect plot of land to do this. But could two THOW’s be a suitable long-term solution for a family? This story is brought to you thanks to Living Big In A Tiny House and Phil and Cynthia.
