Wooden houses, tree houses, the \u2018cabin in the woods\u2019 idea. I also really love stone cottages by the way BUT I don\u2019t own any land and am not in a position to buy my own land to build a permanent tiny home. Thus, I am dependant on others for the rental or lease of land. In such a situation a house on wheels is very practical, given the odds of having to move it elsewhere at some point. An apartment really isn\u2019t my thing. I love gardening and long to have nature all around me. Therefore, a garden is a must for me. I would like to grow more of my own veggies and herbs, thereby becoming more self-sufficient. Moreover, I really don\u2019t want to be living in a concrete block.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_398\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.marjoleininhetklein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/17582f8433eac9e42d48a6a4913002d9.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-dLoTPPRN\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-398\" class=\"wp-image-398 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.marjoleininhetklein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/17582f8433eac9e42d48a6a4913002d9.jpg\" alt=\"17582f8433eac9e42d48a6a4913002d9\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.marjoleininhetklein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/17582f8433eac9e42d48a6a4913002d9.jpg 600w, https:\/\/test.marjoleininhetklein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/17582f8433eac9e42d48a6a4913002d9-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: http:\/\/tinyhousetalk.com\/270-sq-ft-la-mirada-tiny-house-on-wheels-for-sale\/<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So that\u2019s pretty much it! A Tiny House on wheels (THOW) is the ideal solution for me. And let\u2019s not forget the opportunity to live off-grid, which I would really like to do. Although you could, of course, do that in a regular house too. If I really wanted to, I could put solar panels on the roof of my rental home, buy a compost toilet, or flush my current toilet with rainwater. But let\u2019s be honest; a Tiny House is just so much more appealing. Right? :)<\/p>\n<p>I hope I have sufficiently responded to your question, Martine!
