Home is Where Heart Is

We live in a world where your wildest dreams can come true, as long as you're willing to make some serious decisions. #Vanlife and the Tiny House Movement provide people with an extra helping of wanderlust find their own niche in the crowd... but neither option is a straightforward transition.




Kristine Hudson has tried on both lifestyles for size, and found them amazingly similar and starkly contrasting at the same time. While living in a van or a tiny house on wheels can provide dwellers with the option to create adventures wherever they go, they do require a lot of thought and planning in order to live the life of your dreams.




In her first book, "How to Live the Dream: Things Every Van Lifer Needs to Know," Ms. Hudson helps readers understand the ins and outs of their first year of van living, based on her own experiences leaving behind her home and hitting the road in an aged Volkswagen Vanagon. Through tips and tricks provided by members of the van community, you'll learn about all the things you might want to consider before taking the plunge.




When the 2020 pandemic hit the United States, a lot of things changed for Ms. Hudson, and she and her husband Brad ended up parking the van to wade out the changing world in a tiny house. Her experiences inspired "Little Home, Big Dreams: The Tiny Home Lifestyle for Beginners," in which she shares some of the less obvious things anyone needs to know before taking up residence in a tiny house.




If living in a traditional house or apartment isn't working for you...

If you feel like there's a lot of world to be seen while you're standing still...

... and for all of those who feel like they're stuck in someone else's dream...




The time has come to pick up "Home is Where Heart Is: Tiny Houses, Vans, and Living Your Best Life", and learn more about where your life can lead. There are options out there for us all, and while they may be a bit different than the conventional stationary lifestyle, these are all valid options for those willing to put in the time and effort to make their dreams come true!
