Your GO TiNY! Academy Instructor...
Hi, I'm Lindsay Wood, "The Tiny Home Lady" and CEO of Experience Tiny Homes.
Our Tiny Home story began in 2017, when my husband and I realized we had spent $108,000 in rent in 7 years. All that money and nothing to show for it.
To start off our Tiny Home Journey, we flew from California to Texas to attend our first Tiny Home Festival. It was there we met our dream builder (or so we thought). By the middle of the build, our dream builder went bust on us. My husband and I rescued our Tiny Home and spent the next 8 months and $40,000 over our budget finishing our Tiny Home.
We know what it means to set your sights on a Dream Tiny Home and have it change quickly. We want to ensure no one repeats our experience and that's why we created Experience Tiny Homes. We've been consulting and guiding people along their Tiny Home journey since 2019.
The GO TiNY! Academy is a culmination of all that we have learned on our own as well as working directly with our clients and we want to increase the number of people that get access to this important information.
Our Tiny Home gave us the ability to choose how we wish to live, and we want that choice for you. We know all too well the Tiny Home journey is a windy twisting road of choices and challenges and we are here to support you make the best choices so you can get onto living your best life!
