  • This weeks episode is a real heart warmer. Bethan is an inspiring, hard working woman who was finding it difficult to get ahead in life. That was until she made the decision to build a tiny house and with that, began on her path to financial freedom.
    Through living frugally in her home for the first two years, she was able to quickly pay off her debts. With her house now paid for, she has set her sights to saving for her own piece of land.
    Bethan's home is beautiful and perfectly suited to her needs. With a love of travel and adventure, this home helps to give her an unprecedented level of personal freedom to follow her passions.
    Visiting this home, I was quickly reminded of one of the reasons that I fell in love with tiny homes. The decision to build them, can genuinely be life changing.
    We hope you enjoy this tiny house tour and Bethan's inspiring story! If you'd like to follower her adventures, you can find her on Instagram: / typaku_tinyliving

    For me, this weeks episode is a great reminder of why I first became passionate about tiny houses. So many people feel as though the cost of housing has just ran away on them and there's no way to make things work. Bethan's story is a great reminder that with hard work and some good decisions, it's still possible to make the dream happen! We hope you enjoy this episode. With Love, Bryce & Rasa

      a little tidbit you might want to know: In the US, a lot of older (and some new) trailers -- "manufactured" homes but still cheap - have vertical ribs where the wall panels meet. This little house has those ... "yuck." They really can make a place look cheap & I know other container homes have something akin to drywall so no seams/ribs. (just thought I'd mention it cuz I'll bet somebody else will notice one day) -- it's VERY nice on all other points.

Best wishes to you both and Bethan. These stories are so important not only for the tny spaces but the lives that it changes. x

      Thank you so much for this comment! It’s so true. Part of my journey is in 2020 I started working with the over 65s and so retirement was front and centre on my mind. I realised quickly that my generation will not be able to retire as we will still be paying rent (and those who managed to get on the housing ladder - mortgages). The stats are clear and the ministry of finance even did a report on it at the Auckland ageing conference last year! Us single women are in the toughest spots. Made worse by the gender pay gap 😢 Part of the reason I got so emotional was talking about this with Bryce and his amazing questions! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    I started watching this channel around 2018 which inspired me to dream of a tiny home in a small farm, started saving more as much as I can. In the latter part of 2020, started communicating with a contractor for a 8 m x 8 m home design. In November 1, 2021, I slept in my home for the first time with just a bed, a dining table, a camping stove, a few plates and spoons, etc. It is still a work in progress but it is truly heartwarming to have a safe home for me and my pets.

    This is such an amazing home and the price tag is mindblowing ... Once again living tiny seems accessible without compromising.
    Wishing her all the best, because she has a little jewel there.

    What a lovely home. What a wonderful journey Bethan has for the future - congratulations. Bryce & Rasa keep up the great work of promoting tiny homes. They are not cookie cutter as a lot of people think. Each one you show is so unique to the owners. With a traditional home you have to have SO much more money to do the unique parts that each tiny home shows. Thanks!

    I love her simplicity and her ground-floor bedroom, thinking that going up and down the stairs isn't always easy. The bathtub is a big bonus for her. Thanks, Bryce and Rasa.

    It's almost impossible to do this in the UK, every time you create a postal address, which you need for all forms of ID, benefits, bank accounts etc, you are in the planning system. Our planning system is totally against this idea. There is ONE sustainable tiny house village planned, on the outskirts of Bristol, and it is literally like building a new housing estate, they have to go through months if not years in the planning system. It's the only one in the UK, and that's no surprise when you see all the obstacles.

    I have no idea how these homeowners find such cool parking spaces. Perhaps there are more choices down under than Florida, USA. I would just end up in an RV park or perhaps a Tiny Home community, but it's not the same as a cool private spot. Not to mention commercial lot rent is super expensive. Love this house & this channel.

      It’s really true what you say! I think in New Zealand we have a lot of space, but that’s changing as the population increases and rising sea levels means people will have to move away from the coast so watch this space! Literally 😂

    I loved Bethan and her house and how emotional she is about what she's achieved. I'm in the process of having a one-level tiny home of the same size built, and it's inspiring to see someone who's already travelled this path and just how happy and content she is.

    Oh what a beautiful bubbly personality Bethan has and her tiny home is just perfect...I can't believe the amount of storage and space she has in that small container...the design of this house is just perfect with a bathroom that isn't claustrophobic either...her bedroom is just beautiful and having the light colour bed and bedding again makes the room look bigger...thankyou for sharing Bethan's tiny house and her story Bryce and Rasa xo 💜🇦🇺 oh and I almost forgot to mention her parking space WOW 😍

    This video just moved me to tears. I'm a pianist and sometimes I get anxiety ridden about the thought of ever being able to save up, buy and build something for myself without the help of anyone. Thank you Bethan, Bryce and living big community for what you've done ❤ I see now it's totally possible for me to have a beautiful home like Bethan's and Live Debt free on my own with the lifestyle I have as a musician 🥰✨ that's such an empowering thought to have from watching a RUclips video

    Very happy for her! I really love the changes she chose to make. Love that she paid off the loan for $75k in only two years and now she owns it and is debt-free and able to use her savings to travel and live a life of security! So so happy for her and I hope she continues to enjoy a blessed life.

    I dream of having those kinds of happy tears and being able to have my own TH like she does. Her home is so lovely, and I want a bathtub just like that! It's one of the things I don't want to give up with a TH. As always, the locations across the pond are always just gorgeous! I'm green with envy! Pun intended. 😄

    I've owned my own home in NY for 13 years, and I've not felt the joy that Bethan has felt living in hers for only 3 years! I know she said that until she owns the land she won't feel 'nested' and I get that. I hope one day to own a home that I feel truly is a part of me, as she feels her home is to her.
    I LOVE HER mugs too! LOLOL And Wonder Woman of course. Bethan has really but her soul into her home and made it all her own.
