Its a big plot of land but their home is tiny and thats how they like it hi who i am you know how much im steffi im phillip hi hi nice to meet you this is my sister hi i know and this is like saying nice to meet you and that is the tidy house there are three of them here.

Here for so i couldnt imagine living here with my boyfriend not for ever i mean for two weeks maybe fine you have to go very well organized. The Tiny House Movement began in the us and is all about going back to the basics philip and stephanie firmly believe that less is more and even take it a step further. Here on this former campsite theyre building germanys very first Tiny House Community theyre planning to build twenty five tiny houses in the next three years which will provide a home for fifty people year round. It sounds lovely but i simply cannot picture it. Seriously guys you hardly have any stuff where do you keep all your things. We each have a box you go one box for a close eye on the kids to work like this. Thank you so its that big vigil this why did you all seven on the pads t. Shirts to sweaters two pairs of pants dont forget we actually use all our clothes to say this is stephanies box for you wow most people in europe have countless items these guys have a box and theyve built their tiny house i repeat built it. Will provide these stairs tell me their stairs its a Shelf Unit Stairs its stairs and dividing wall all in one. Scandal you can go up just a job so. So cold i must admit im impressed i love cozy knocks and this tiny house totally feels like a proper home because the kitchen is to me to sixty weve never had a bigger one apart from the kitchen philip and his girlfriend built everything themselves what can i say its incredible doesnt this is one point four square metres thats one point four square metres this tiny house is their pride and joy and for now its their only source of income they have to rent it out yes now this is where i sleep i cant wait. They put all their dedication into bringing this project to life and all their money the house cost Thirty Thousand euros and developing the community is time consuming steffi and philip work around the clock to make their Dreams Come True to idealists wanting to live a simple sustainable life im not sure i could ever think of them are you can share lots of things that you dont need to own yourself like a Washing Machine it uses up an entire square metre so thats a lot of space if you only got sixteen of the top which of it because its and so we share a laundry room were creating a Library Nobody needs to give anything up we can share it all and the same space hired as madonna. Which cuts work entirely i was doing this to make the world a better place when i was over and even small people. Like this it would definitely help we waste less resources on different feeling this was the couple took out a big loan to buy the land the tiny House Village is now their home and it has to work they both dropped out of university for this year to move through that they cut the tiny house bug in the u. S. But Parking Sites for many homes are still rare in germany although the demand is rising so theyre making space for themselves and other pioneers. They have to be pretty brave to do this ive got to say and probably a little crazy too theyre completely focused and theyre only in their mid twentys this archive of lots of people say oh at your age all i did was polity. And i told them well we know how to have fun to the. Next morning its cold and wet and i feel a bit like im camping outside its pouring obviously not everyone mind so half of the twenty five homes have already been sold so just how easy is it to downsize i can range to talk to alina she has an entire blog about minimalism. Morning alina. I only want things around me that i need that serve a purpose or that i love i think most people are surrounded by things they never really deliberately chose they just accumulated them. Im really interested in what you had to say in your blog about how to lead a more minimalistic lifestyle since. I dont think you need to push yourself too from. One of the most basic principles of minimalism is mindfulness. Not just in terms of owning stuff but in areas of life including how we interact with one another. I think we need to rethink things and ask ourselves why we feel the way we do. Why its hard to let go of this item or that person and then learn from that. Treating objects like mental baggage i drag all sorts of stuff around with me in my backpack some things i hang onto for sentimental reasons others just out of habit and yes some things are dead weight. Id still like to get a third opinion on minimalism though so im off to leipzig. Im here to visit to b. S. He lives on the parking lot somewhere in a van. With all. I. Can see. Now that it is hollow. This used to be an ambulance built in One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety Two toby converted it into a home its about four or five square metres big. You know this hole so you come in through the door and the whole circuit no thats obviously the way to here we have a toilet its camouflaged doesnt look like a toilet but thats what it is that led to the rim shot me ok but ive never met anyone so excited to see this story lets hear the letter this is. The new you actually use it yeovil north its more like an Emergency Toilet but its good to know its there want to let the hot enough to let you look confident you know now heres the kitchen and gas stove. Out seeing theres a fifty liter of water to go i do the washing up here in Washington On My Sensation there coming out so one this is a little gas fridge before downsizing toby shared an apartment with several roommates when he left he sold everything that wouldnt fit into this van. Young man because if i spray your dirty dishes and let them soak them convince bring them again with water wipe and dry them but want to save tons of water if your tank lasts longer than the one holding on to that not there. Next to the kitchen is where i work eat and do Anything Else that requires a table. Tobys monthly Living Expenses are less than Six Hundred Euros over here is my wardrobe. Because when he says its not a very cheap way of living things can get really expensive if he ever needs to take the van to the garage its also his source of income in the summer he drives to festivals and sells hammocks and of course hes got wife eyes solar panels and a longboard on them and on so bed time i just need to do this. Had a few pillows like the van gives toby complete autonomy he travels wherever and whenever he wants its been Twenty Two Thousand kilometers so far what he loves most is never having to plan for this but heres the pull out bed do you ever want kids. Sure two or three Little Rascals until they have to go to school i cant see you doing any harm it would be a good experience for you really end of this time rarely have i been happier you know this wonderful kind of happiness do you mean is it like personal freedom. This is because of all the worries people have i dont have them. This is claiming it. I go where i like when i like if i want to sleep i do last october i swore to myself i would never set in alarm again. I wake up when i want to wake up just being able to sleep it makes me happy when you know. Toby says the biggest challenge in his lifestyle is combating loneliness so he often visits old friends to catch up to days hes taking his dishes along to save water as for me im at the end of my thirty six hour road trip you really like this will see this minimalism it means Different Things to different people i didnt mention but what everybody ive just met all have in common with is that they question what really matters in life on. The front row and theyre putting all these ideas into practice shouting anything that doesnt make them truly happy which is the. Bible its pretty impressive youre going its made me think about how i might downsize a bit myself. Ill have to think about it but right now me and my backpack were out here.
