Tiny House Giant Journey: Women Driven Alternative Lifestyle and Travel Blog

Tiny House Giant Journey is a popular Tiny House and travel blog that offers inspirational stories, advice, videos, and photos from around the world

Welcome to my blog! If you are interested in alternative lifestyles and unique houses, this is your website. Let me tell you my story and share with you how others lead alternative lives, inspiring you to embark on your own journey.

###The story behind it

Ten years ago, I was receiving a salary in a poor job. I can never save money, pay off debts, or go on vacation. I have stagnated and shelved my dreams. Why? Because society tells me that I need to live like this. This is the 'standard', and in 2013, I did something radical. I quit my stable job and built a small house with wheels. Goal: Pay off my debts and pursue my dream of becoming a film producer.

My little house drove 25000 miles in its first year!

From 2014 to 2015, I visited over thirty states in the United States and five provinces in Canada with my small house. On the journey, I met dozens of like-minded people who accepted different lifestyles. I started sharing their stories on this blog and YouTube. Not long after, these videos began to become popular. People have truly responded to the idea of seeking freedom through choice. In less than a year, I started earning income and even managed to save some money. Four years later, for the first time in my life, I am completely debt free and financially stable! I started hiring other members of the nomadic and small house communities to help produce my videos. Before I realized it, I already had a career based on my passion: movies and alternative lifestyles.

When I started living a small life, life became bigger

The American Dream (big houses, white fences, luxury cars, etc.) is not the key to happiness. In fact, for most people, this concept will force you to spend a lifetime chasing after something that doesn't really exist. It's better to find less happiness. I value my time, passion, and experiences more than my wealth. Although I know not everyone is suitable to live in a small house, I believe there are many benefits to cleaning up space, not only in our homes but also in our lives and thoughts.

But I don't always enjoy living in small spaces.

My opinion on home

Finally, one day, I realized that I had saved enough money to buy a new house for my growing family. After three years of adventure, I parked my small house on Whidbey Island in Washington and listed it for rent. I go to this house once a month for solitary meditation and consider that time to be sacred.

Today, my YouTube channel has over 1.5 million users. So my dream of becoming a successful filmmaker has come true, thanks to my decision to live in a small house. What I continue to focus on is telling stories of others choosing their lives to achieve their dreams. This may mean that life is small, or it may mean something completely different. The key is to accept other options and accept families and lifestyles that do not meet the 'standards'. Design your own life to make your home serve you... rather than the other way around.
