Ep 82: Embracing Tiny Living: A Journey to Financial Freedom
Why Go Tiny? Insights from the Less House, More Moola Podcast
Tiny living isn’t just about downsizing—it’s about embracing freedom, adventure, and financial independence. Laura Lynch’s podcast episode with Fiorella Yriberry, a seasoned nomad, highlights how this lifestyle brings both challenges and rewards. Fiorella shares her evolution from a shuttle bus conversion to an expedition truck, proving that tiny living is a journey of adaptation and discovery.
Building Your Dream Rig: Lessons from the Road
Fiorella’s first build—a 27-passenger shuttle bus—taught her the importance of functionality in a tiny space. From oversized bathrooms to yoga-ready layouts, she realized what seemed essential often wasn’t practical. Her second build, an expedition truck, prioritized rugged travel and off-road capabilities, showing the value of learning from experience.
Finding Financial Freedom with a Tiny Lifestyle
Tiny living opens doors to financial freedom. Fiorella and her husband started their journey with savings, but the COVID-19 pandemic led them to remote work opportunities. By eliminating rent and living more simply, they saved money while traveling extensively. Tiny living isn’t just cost-effective—it’s a mindset shift that helps you allocate resources toward experiences, not possessions.
Affordable Travel Tips for Tiny Lifestyle Enthusiasts
Fiorella emphasizes smart budgeting for travel. From camping on public lands to cooking meals on the go, her strategies cut costs without sacrificing experiences. Renting RVs instead of booking hotels or exploring lesser-known national forest sites are game-changing tips for anyone seeking adventure on a budget.
Challenges and Growth: Overcoming Mishaps on the Road
Breakdowns and unexpected mishaps are inevitable in tiny living. Fiorella advises tackling challenges step by step and reframing worst-case scenarios. These obstacles often serve as learning moments, testing commitment to the lifestyle and fostering resilience.
Living Slow and Wild: Staying Present in a Fast-Paced World
For Fiorella, tiny living means more than just travel—it’s a lesson in being present. Her handle, “Growing Slow and Wild,” reflects the philosophy of savoring the moment, letting go of societal pressures, and embracing the simplicity of life. This mindset shift has profoundly impacted her personal growth and connection to the world around her.
