Building Her Tiny House Was This Intrepid Writer's Biggest Adventure Yet

Even the most intrepid amongst us needs a place to call home. Louise is an adventurous woman who has carved out an incredible career as a travel writer. She traveled the world only to find that her biggest adventure of all was at home in Australia, building her own tiny house.

I think that no matter how much we enjoy traveling, we all need things in life that can help us to feel grounded. Some nomads take their homes on the road with them in the form of vans and house busses, but some need a greater sense of security and place in the land. For Louise, a tiny house was that perfect option. A small, simple house that holds her when she is home and that is easy to lock up and leave when she is ready for her next voyage.

She was inspired to build her tiny home after experiencing several weeks living in a simple remote cabin in Norway. There, she found a level of peace and security that she hadn’t experienced in a long time. That planted the seeds for her idea to build a tiny home.

The tiny house that she has crafted for herself is beautiful. It’s humble, simple and yet beautifully built with lovely timbers and charming character features. She has a spacious kitchen, plenty of storage, a relaxing loft to read, a spacious bedroom loft and most importantly, a place where she can sit and write.

Here in her beautiful tiny home, Louise has found the safety and security she needs to be grounded, and also a wonderful launch pad from which she can still explore the big wide world around her.

Louise has written a book detailing her experiences of building and living in her tiny home.
