With the financial and emotional freedom that tiny living offers, Tim and Sam can't see themselves trading in their island for a traditional home anytime soon. As for the future, they're mulling over the options.

They've already made the island available for short-term lets, and they're even considering adding a third tiny house. "Right now we’re enjoying it – it’s a cool experiment but it’s definitely not going to stay stagnate”, Tim says. You can follow Tim and Sam's journey on Instagram and Facebook.
