A Hilo, Hawaii-based Yoga teacher and a mindset coach Grace Riley lives in a 276 sq/ft cozy tiny house with her fiance Ryan and her dog Tofu. Her focus shifted to the side of tiny living when she was in college. Consequently, she learned how exactly our physical world influences the way that we live in college studies.

After traveling and living abroad for a year, Grace and Ryan decided to move forward with their tiny house dream. And start saving money to build their own house. However, after doing some research they have realized that they don’t have enough time and space to build one themselves. So they have decided to buy a tiny house and looked around for a home which meets their expectations.

Tiny house living has been such an adventure with both ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Luckily, they have found the exact one from “Escape Traveler” for about $65k in total which included the cost of it getting delivered to them. There was a lot of wood, windows, and an open plan in that tiny house as Grace expected. They bought the house in early January 2019 and they had it delivered in April 2019. That is to say, they have been living here for 1 year and 6 months at the time of me writing this.

Unfortunately, their parking spot does not have water in the winter. So they customize the house and add an on-board tank to store water. “It can also be helpful to think about what space in your house that you will use the most. And make sure that those spaces are efficient for you,” said Grace.

As a tiny house dweller, she coaches people who are interested in minimalism, living a simple and intentional life, and possibly living in a tiny house one day really pare down and have a better relationship with the objects and items in their lives.
