This is the story of how we transformed this dumpy 50 year old Airstream and turned it into our DREAM tiny home on wheels in just 60 days, with no prior building experience.
Its been a pretty awesome experience to tell the entire story of our tiny home project from start to finish.
We're excited to close this chapter and share our next venture with you all!

If you're into outdoor adventures, tiny homes (on wheels & with sails), off-grid living and DIY projects, then you'll want to click that notification bell & follow along ;)
WHO WE ARE
We are a couple from opposite sides of the world making life together in a teeny-tiny 160 square feet.
Our current tiny home is a vintage Airstream trailer nestled in the woods here in the Canadian Pacific Northwest! We like to call her Streamy, our adventure basecamp!
Sounds dreamy right? Well let us tell you that it isn't as easy as it looks & the process of building our dream tiny home on wheels (in just 60 days) was freaking hard!!!
When we're not enduring these self-imposed suffer-fests (i.e. our DIY projects & long grueling hikes up mountainsides) you'll find us out on the ocean, living and sailing around the PNW on our little sailboat. She's a Catalina 30 and we've been enjoying the challenge of restoring her & teaching ourselves how to sail!

OUR STORY
• First Step Towards Mak...
I (Allison, the Newfie) met James (the Aussie) while working on a remote island 3 years ago.
A decade working in healthcare has helped us both to appreciate the preciousness of this one beautiful life we've been given.
Viewing TIME as our most valuable gift, we've been feeling an urgency in our lives to Live All Out!
We decided to make some BOLD moves, hit PAUSE on our conventional careers & work full time, turning our DREAMS into reality.
This is the beginning of our KZfaq journey & over the next few weeks we will be sharing our first steps towards making full-time adventure possible.
We'll be posting weekly videos that document our DIY projects, tiny-home living & our land & sea adventures.

This is a dangerously inspiring video, I hope I don't buy an airstream to remodel, but I want to.

I know that this is now past history for you both, but I am catching up with some of your story after watching your wonderful, 'crossing the Ditch' documentary on Land Fall with Allison's parents. So I just wanted to say once again Congratulations 🎉 for what you have achieved with your Airstream reno' and also for your very genuine=honest personalities=souls and story telling! Good on you, very refreshing and thank you! Sub'ed.

Wow, the memories captured in this video are so beautiful! The hardships that were going on in your lives during the pandemic and cold of winter have expressed themselves as something lovely and peaceful! Looking forward to a detailed tour of the inside, it looks like you've got it decorated fantastically!!

Had to watch the video for the third time. Cause I love it sooo much. James you need to take that sweater and place it in a glass frame to be hung somewhere, sometime with lots of pics adorning it. That sweater is a classic. Dennis Has yellow hoody that has endured 20+ years of Reno projects including having the cuffs catch on fire on some sparky project! He’s not letting go of it. It will be framed and hung somewhere. Someday we will work on a Reno project together. Boat,land cruiser, or home ♥️♥️♥️♥️
