A reclusive designer living in a custom tiny house in the middle of the
Montana wilderness. A couple who traded their expensive Bay Area
apartment for a slip at a nearby marina, where they live on a docked
sailboat. A family of five who decided to simplify their lives by moving
into a school bus, selling most of their possessions in the process. Nomad features
their stories, and many more. From vanlifers to boondockers,
liveaboards to tiny-house dwellers, these freedom seekers have forged a
new way of life for themselves—one that values experiences over things,
is environmentally conscious, and is often more budget-friendly than
their “rooted” lives ever were.

     The ubiquity of the
internet has ushered in a new era of connectivity that makes working
from an Airstream beside a roaring river or running a photography
business from a mountaintop a reality. It’s now possible to do whatever
you want from wherever you want and still have a foothold in the world.
This book shows you how, with tours of 26 unconventional homes and the
people who live in them, plus all the information you need to make your
own off-the-grid dream a reality. There are chapters on bathroom and
storage—two of the most challenging aspects of this lifestyle—plus a
comprehensive guide to finding the right home, assessing the cost of
renovation, handy products for small spaces, and indispensable resources
(including sources for replacement RV parts, portable power solutions,
tiny wood stoves, and much more).
