    (I wouldn't mind living in this tiny house one bit!)

    "In this weeks episode we travel to the winterless North of New Zealand to visit an inspiring couple who have built an out-of-this-world tiny house with a parking spot that you won't believe!

    There's a saying in the tiny house world that home is where you park it, and this tiny house really has found an amazing place to call home that's private, elevated and with spectacular, panoramic ocean views.

    Paula and Liam worked hard to make their dream tiny house come true, living in a motorhome while working full time and saving all their money in order to build their tiny house on wheels. This couple is living proof that with a lot of will power and hard work, dreams really do come true."

    They seem to be popping up everywhere these days. Even here in Morro Bay what we used to call "trailer parks" are replacing the old trailer with the new "tiny homes". They are the new affordable homes of the future.
    As a person who used to work at an RV park I have seen how popular they are becoming and as a person who used to live in an RV I know we can get used to small efficient spaces (no room for junk we don't need).
    The nice thing about these tiny homes is when you get tired of one location you can hitch up and pull it to somewhere else...and always have your home with you.

    I wish these communities grow and grow around the world, we need more of that.

    Here where I live is very hard if not impossible to find tiny homes, I saw one a while ago, but it was abandoned, kind of partially destroyed by the weather.

    A bit off-topic..
    Years ago I tried hard to buy an RV (travel trailer), not to live inside but to have trips and go camping, I gave up the idea, this country is NOT a RV friendly place, the only company I found from England they build it and the price is absurd, the price of 3 or 4 in US haha
    If in US you can buy a second hand RV for around $10K (not great shape I know), here you won't find anything for at least $50K!!! Also there is no second hand market for this things here, I end up with an old toyota pickup and a tent for camping!!!

    Off-The-Grid Tiny House & Stunning Syntropic Food Forest Gardens



    This amazing tiny house is situated amongst wonderful syntropic gardens. Similar in many ways to permaculture syntropic farming is a form of dynamic regenerative agricultural forestry which uses a systems thinking approach to create an abundant, healthy, natural food forest. Focus is placed on formation of healthy soil biology and establishing microclimates so that food production and agriculture is synchronised with regeneration of the land. Super cool stuff!

    Equally as impressive as the gardens is the amazing off-the-grid tiny house on wheels. The home is solar powered with abundant rain water collection. A composting toilet helps to reduce the homes water consumption. Beautifully designed, there is abundant outdoor living space so that Anthony and Kirra can enjoy year round indoor / outdoor living.

    "This incredible, modern, fully-off-the-grid, DIY tiny house is the stuff that dreams are made of. Inspired by permaculture principles, this stunning tiny house is filled with the special kinds of features you only ever find in do-it-yourself builds.

    Thomas and Caroline decided to build a tiny house as part of a plan to start a market garden business. To save money, they came up with the brilliant idea of finding land for their business and building a tiny house they could take onto the land with them. Despite not having any prior experience in construction, the couple tackled the build and just over a year later they are now living in their dream tiny house.

    This tiny home is totally solar powered and even heats its own water using solar thermal tubes on the roof. The home collects rain-water and also has a clever under-deck rainwater harvesting system. Soon, the home will be surrounded by permaculture-inspired market gardens. This tiny home tour is definitely one you don't want to miss!

    We hope you enjoy the full tour of this inspiring build."

    "In this weeks episode we meet Bérangère, an inspiring young woman who amazingly built her very own tiny house during lockdown in France. Her spectacular home is named ‘La Belle Idée, which translates to the beautiful idea.

    Bérangère was inspired to build her tiny home after spending four years traveling and realising she desired a place to call home. With minimal possessions and still wanting a place which would give her options for where she could live, she decided a tiny house would be the perfect home.

    Originally, she had intended to construct her home together with others as part of a tiny house building workshop, but lockdown in France put an end to the workshop after the first week and Bérangère was then left to complete the home on her own.

    The result is a beautiful and inspiring build. We hope you enjoy the video tour of this wonderful tiny house which absolutely lives up to it’s name! "

    "In this weeks episode we meet Agathe and Anton, a talented couple who set about building their dream tiny house. Constructed using natural materials and with bioclimatic concepts in mind, this tiny house has truly been a life-changing project.

    Amorously named ‘La Petite Grain’ or ‘The Little Seed’, this tiny home was built to house the values of Agathe and Anton, who desired to live in a place which was minimalist, energy efficient, ecologically designed and of course constructed with symmetry and beauty.

    Situated in France, this tiny house has been constructed using natural materials and is an efficiently built home. Both the interior and exterior have been exceptionally well designed and lovingly crafted in order to make the home not only a functional place to live but also a joy to behold.

    We hope you enjoy the tour of this tiny home. You can find out more about Agathe, Anton and La Petite Grain on their website: https://tinyhouse-lapetitegraine.fr/ "

    "If you would love to live a self-sufficient life in a tiny house, then this episode is for you! Marie is an inspiring young DIY builder who, with no previous building experience, has constructed a beautiful tiny house.

    With a dream of living a self-sufficient life, her off-the-grid tiny house is a major step towards her ultimate goal.

    Marie's home is lovingly built in the way that only a DIY house can be. Inside, there are beautiful touches such as hanging planters, a pallet wood wall and a wonderful round feature window.

    Her home is solar powered, collects rain-water and even has other clever elements such as a bio-digesting toilet, which turns her toilet waste into gas for cooking!

    Surrounding her home is a beautiful orchid and communal gardens which she shares with others who live on the property.

    This really is a story about how much you can accomplish when you set your mind to something! We hope you enjoy the tour of this incredible home. "
