Even tiny living comes in all shapes and sizes! This couple has been living the “Kombi Life” in their VW Van, driving it from Brazil to Alaska.

But if two people inside this itty bitty space seem cramped, imagine with 3, 4 or 6! The couple has been picking up people as they go, offering free accommodation, which means they’ve had as many as 6 people crammed into their little van. It’s certainly basic in terms of amenities with just a two-burner stove, gravity-fed outdoor shower and some cubbies for storage, but they are making it work! Be sure to watch their video tour with Tiny Home Tours to learn about just how they manage.

This is Hannah’s full-time van life in her converted Renault Master.

Hannah is a university student who was looking for a way to save money on rent while studying marine biology, so she didn’t have to work so many hours to afford a flat. Now she lives inexpensively and teaches yoga on the side. Her home even comes equipped with the tiniest wood stove I think I’ve ever seen, and wee garden with a cactus and couple succulents.

Hear from Hannah in her video tour with The Indie Projects below!

This is Terraform One, a 250 sq. ft. gooseneck THOW built by a man with no previous construction experience who just wanted a simpler, sustainable life.

He’s now selling the house, but not because he’s given up tiny living. On the contrary, he’s gone tinier, downsizing to 32 sq. ft. stealth van that he used to travel the country. How cool! Check out the THOW below and take the video tour on the last page!

Julien is an entrepreneur and video producer from Montreal, Canada who lives and works in his camper van full-time.

He started the Go-Van website to share road tripping stories from fellow van dwellers, and videos about his travels. To finance the project he creates video content for brands and tourism bureaus while he travels which means his van is not only a home, but a mobile office as well.

One of his first partnerships was with a Quebec-based camper van conversion company called Safari Condo, who now allow him to use one of their ultra functional vans so that he has everything he needs to live and work comfortably on the road, including power, running water, a shower, toilet and kitchen.

Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

Kelsey & Corbin from Steps to Wander are a sweet couple whose quest for freedom and the open road led them to buy an old Ford E-350 El Dorado Encore camper van that was mechanically sound but that needed a total makeover on the inside. The pair spent months repairing leaks, cleaning up mould & mildew and building custom furniture; and they completely transformed the space into a cozy and functional conversion van.
