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. Her book, Tiny: A Memoir About Love, Letting Go and a Very Small House can be found here :https://amzn.to/43TDW1n – This is an amazon affiliate link and we earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.

As someone who travels a lot myself, I resonated in a big way with Louise’s story. No-matter how adventurous you are, having a place to come home to is important. What Louise has built for herself here is stunning. It’s the perfect place to ground after her travels and spend some quiet time writing. We hope you enjoy the tour! Let us know your thoughts in the comments! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
Security? She may have a roof over her head,which is great but what happens if her landlord terminates their arrangement? What if the local council decides no more tiny houses to be allowed on landlords land. No very secure
This woman’s courage in her life astounds me. This is a way of life that I would never be able to do.
What a beautiful tiny house and what a lovely woman! It resonates a lot with me, and I enjoyed hearing her story 🤍
Wonderful video, very inspiring. Just finished the book too, on my Kindle. Gave it 5 stars and I tried twice to submit a book review, which hopefully is pending. Well written and interesting book. Thanks for sharing your story!
Such an interesting perspective, I find the more I settle down & make my home the more I feel crave exploration & find it stifling
Some things aren’t negotiable when it comes to life,,, like toilet access in the middle of night. Climbing up and down steep stairs to use the toilet when half asleep nah I’ll pass.
Beautiful tiny and Beautiful life story. Thank you!
Love the simplictic beauty.❤
