I was working in a 9 to 5 job in a lab and after that I quit and started my own tiny house journey with the mindset of « how hard can it be »... spoiler alert ... it’s hard but not impossible, and with a good attitude and some support, you can do anything. Back to the present day, I now have my tiny house on a beautiful piece of land in west Auckland, entering my second year of a carpentry apprenticeship, building tiny houses for others.
