Author’s Creative Tiny House Parked in SF Bay Area, $300/mo

Amanda’s 8'x14', 86 square foot tiny house is the ultimate test of her professional organizer skills. Everything is multi-functional and colorful. It feels like a Zen simple living art gallery. Her tiny home reflects her international upbringing with features like a bucket bath. Amanda was born in England, raised in Bangkok and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
She’s found an incredibly affordable tiny house parking arrangement in this insanely expensive housing market. Amanda's THOW snuggly fits in her host's backyard, surrounded by a canopy of flowers and fruit trees. She pays $300/mo, plus 10 hrs of gardening/mo, as work/trade.
✨Amanda’s Memoir: Diamonds In My Pocket: Tales from a Childhood in Asia, amzn.to/2xJPfcC
"Downsizing into a tiny house gave me a fresh perspective on the work I do with my clients as a professional organizer. Why are people so attached to things? I often wondered. Why did they keep so much of so little value? After 20 years of coaching others through the process, I got a taste of my own medicine. What I had ignored for years now had to be gone through, every drawer and toolbox, every storage box and zippered portfolio. A long and tedious process it was too. I found things that were long obsolete-airmail paper and replacement flashlight bulbs of another era. It all came up for review. Familiar things that had been with me for so long they felt like a part of my identity, a part of what I called home. But through the lens of the tiny house, home had to be redefined."
