In a Eureka moment of “not giving a fuck”, I finally gave in on rented accommodation and decided to live in a truck. The articles below document my life of living in a box truck.

I DID IT! I made it a full year living (sleeping) in a Box Truck! I emphasis ‘sleeping’ because honestly, that’s mostly what I did in my ‘tiny house on wheels’. I chuckle when I get the repeated questions: Aren’t you claustrophobic in there? Do you have a kitchen? How... read more

August 16th, 2015 marks 30 days (and nights) that I have lived (slept) in a box truck. I moved into the former FedEx truck (also called a cutaway van) on July 18th. It was a hot day by Seattle’s standards but I was happy to be in my very own place for the first time... read more
