This is the story of a solo female living and traveling with a teardrop trailer for around a decade now! It all started in 2007, when she decided to hop on a Harley Davidson motorcycle with her teardrop camper (named tick tack) in tow. With the motor cycle, she would get around 30 miles per gallon (while towing the teardrop).
Today she’s towing it with something a bit more practical, and very likely just as economic on fuel. It’s a Volkswagen Beetle with a TDI diesel engine. That’s right, it’s a diesel Beetle! These are known to get somewhere around 50 miles per gallon, although I’m sure a teardrop camper reduces that to a significant degree, but I’m sure she isn’t complaining about it. Anyhow, hear all about it, and learn more about Jaclyn’s incredible lifestyle below! And tell me, would you ever consider doing something outlandishly awesome like this?

This is Kevin and Marni’s 290 sq. ft. tiny home on wheels. It’s a 24ft tiny house with a built-out deck and a wonderful, open view.
When you step inside, you’ll see that the living room has a desk that doubles as a dining table plus a couch that converts into a bed for guests so it’s very multi-functional. Then there are two lofts, one is their main bedroom, and the other is a reading nook that doubles as a guest space.
The staircase to the main loft has built-in storage and you’ll also find a full kitchen and bathroom. Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thanks!

This is the story of a man living out of his Prius.
Would you ever consider doing something like this?
On the outside of his Prius, you’ll notice it has a roof pod, or “attic”, for extra storage.
When you look inside you’ll see a bed, closet area and even a small stove top for cooking.
Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

Living in a tiny house as a couple presents unique benefits and challenges compared to solo tiny living. Tumbleweed-style homes of 65-120 square feet require partners to agree on lifestyle priorities, but reward them with dramatically simplified living, minimal expenses, and more time for shared interests. Couples who have made it work report stronger relationships and accelerated progress toward financial and personal goals.
Benefits for Couples
- Super Simplified Life: Minimal possessions mean minimal maintenance
- Less Than 30 Minutes Weekly Cleaning: Small spaces clean quickly
- Lowest Possible Living Expenses: Minimal housing costs
- Accelerated Savings: Extra money for goals and passions
- More Time Outdoors: Small interiors encourage outside activities
- Community Connection: Meeting others with shared values
- Increased Physical Activity: Active lifestyle replaces sedentary home time
Challenges to Consider
- Privacy: Limited space for alone time
- Storage: Two people’s belongings in minimal space
- Work Space: Home office arrangements require creativity
- Guests: Hosting visitors becomes challenging
- Partner Agreement: Both must genuinely embrace the lifestyle
