Meet David, a 30-year old designer who

wants to live a simpler life

David has felt overworked in his

current life as a consultant and wants

to make a change

He decides to simplify his life by ridding

himself of most of his material possessions

He then builds and moves into a Tiny House on Wheels

He then moves his Tiny house to Germany to live

with other like-minded individuals

David now lives a more sustainable,

simpler lifestyle and is a beacon for others in

his profession and community
