Tiny House – Giant Journey!
How inspiring is this couple? They both found their stressful lives lacking in adventure and
happiness, so with a tiny budget and a tiny custom built house they both quit their unfulfilling jobs
to travel the world in a truly unique way.
The tiny house they built was purpose made to be towed behind a truck, sounds like a camper
right? Well sort of but this is truly different, built on a budget with their own bare hands, they
created something that was truly a home and something they could call home, wherever they
decided to park.
They started building their tiny home in California before moving to Illinois to add the finishing
touches before embarking on their grand tour of the US. They took a year to get it right and before
you know it an amazing journey had begun.
They travelled over 22,000 miles with their tiny house on wheels, and trekked through more than
thirty US states and even managed to visit five Canadian Provinces. We can’t even begin to
imagine some of the people they met and adventures they had along the way!
This tiny home was built to feel like a real house, and even though its been as far north as the
Arctic Circle and as far south as Florida, its still a home and not just a big tent on wheels. Complete
with sloping roof and bare wood walls, windows and gables it truly is a marvel of tiny home
construction.
Inside the home is custom built furniture and storage combined.
Everything has been made to be
multi purpose and not a single nook or cranny is wasted. Everything is functional and made to be
used with the least amount of effort.
The dining table is a piece of art on the wall until it flips down and creates a dining area that is
modular and fully functional. Many personal touches like the copper curtain rods and skateboard
holders make this home full of character and functionality. Shelves are reinforced and can be used
as steps to the upper level, so ingenious!
Truly a labour of love and the adventures of this couple as they travel round the continent are
really a marvel of how a simple life can be so fulfilling. They may be on a budget, but this is a life
truly rich in experience and wonder.
