- Many have asked me what I actually do for a living and if I have a job! So in this video I talk about how I completely redesigned my worklife after I moved into my tiny house. Living in a tiny house I have a lot of economic freedom and I can therefore afford to spend my time on things that I feel passionate about.

Once my house sells, ill be quitting my job and drastically changing my life, I'm done with the rat race and will never return to a 9 to 5, I'm 35 years old
I wish you all the best. Im still contemplating
Working on this now, right there with you.
Best of luck! I'm 37 and feel the same.
Check it out first. Its a hell of a lot of work, trust me.
Same here
Many people are trying hard to get out of the rat race including myself. Support to the tiny house living and van life dwellers.👍
More are not being bothered 😕
I have an acre living semi off grid in my Airstream. Join me.
we to, just bought a little farm in norway.... i am going for it now! wish you all the same
But what if he gets hurt or ill ? Does he can provide for himself?
@@vladimirvlad6441 Isolation can be dangerous. A support network is needed.
I absolutely love this, people are finally realising that there is no point in playing a game where the cards are so heavily stacked against you that even those who make it need luck.
This is the best form of protest you can do. Become self sufficient.
Great comment. Sums it up completely.
❤😊👍🏻😎
HOW??
We are taught to consume..consume..consume. We need very little to be happy…I live in Los Angeles..almost everyone in big giant cars. This lifestyle has so many benefits and eliminates so much trash! Thanks for sharing your story.❤
You’re welcome❤️
its damn true! My family lives there and I hate to live LA. .....I live top of a mountain in Spain with my furry friends😻😹😸
He’s just not surviving….he’s thriving! He’s living! Love the dog as well.
You’re living my dream. So happy you found truth and followed your heart. If your work makes you miserable it defeats the purpose of life.
So true!! And Thanks - very kind of you🙏🏻
Wonderful life. Blessings from the UK
TRUE❤❤❤
The last 7 years I learned, you don't need to go tiny to get out of the rat race. You can stop consuming however you live. You can stop wasting money in buying useless things. You can start growing your own food in nearly every garden, even on a balcony. Or you can collect fruits as berries, apples, pears, nuts and so on outside in nature. You can easily get used to need less without building a tiny house or van. It's not the outer form but the inner way you choose. I'm so glad working only 3 days in my "normal" job. Of course I would earn much more money, if I would work fulltime, but why?
Mortgage
Sounds like a much better balance of life than the corporate world. Its also good you mention the importance of community contributing. Off grid / self sufficient doesn't need to mean isolated.
It often takes community to be able to be more self sufficient
You don’t print your own money ?
@@georgewhitehouse8630 So true. It takes a village… planning to make a video on that exact topic
@@georgewhitehouse8630 haha, no not yet. But in my area some people where working on a new local curremcy at some point, but it never took off. The point was to keep money in circulation amongst local businesses to create a more stable local economy.
Always
There is so much in this video that speaks a truth about like minded people. I think that for me, the biggest frustration I have is that no one in my life understands what I am feeling and my way of looking at life and how I live it. I would like to from a small community where we can share and help one another with our lifestyle.
Totally agree
You are not alone, many of us desire this
Yeah, I Can really relate to that! Many dansih people have that dream too
And so I wonder what is holding people back from doing it. In my case, I am ready to start today, I just don't know where to do it and have been looking at different States (I am in the US) but can't decide.
Dinero es lo que hace falta..@@rvnut1133
Recently I saw a commercial of a training " how to invest money efficiently ", my first thought was that I know the best way... by growing my own veg and fruit garden, which give me return in long and short therm 🙂😉
Love it😊👌
That’s a neat way to invest! I am not into gardening but admire the idea given the astronomical cost of vegetables- how can a tomato cost 1$ and an avocado $2?! I guess none can grow tomatoes- just give them sun & water. Point finale.
Fellow dane here, living in NZ where off-grid and alternative ways of living is more common. This is the first time i've seen someone do it in Denmark. So interesting. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you!! I started school in NZ in Palmerston North - say hi to Mrs Watson if you run into her😉Would love to go back❤️
This reminds me of my grandmother. I live in the states and we use to do this. But I use to make fun because I was young. But now I love it.
Now am realizing how real life actually is....❤
Wow, glad to hear that!
❤
Love it!... I hope people will start to see the power of being living minimalistic, instead of buying a lot of CRAP! they dont even use in the future... Time freedom is the key to live in peace..
How fortunate that you are able to do this. Peace and blessings in your life.
Fortunate!? 🤣
Everyone can do this. He looks childless like me. Let society rot!!! 😡

The tiny living lifestyle you've embraced is inspiring, especially your approach to blending work with environmental consciousness! Your journey into self-sufficiency not only enhances personal well-being but also sets a sustainable example for others. 🌿
Good for you! So much less stressful. I live out of debt and have a house paid for but relish going tiny...less housework, less stress!
Interesting story! I totally agree, life off the grid, far from the hustle and bustle of the developed world, is so fulfilling.
I also moved from USA to rural Kenya, not so long ago. And I started a CZcams channel documenting my relocation journey.
Greetings from California (USA) .
My admiration for what you have achieved and you as a human being is immeasurable.
Well done and congratulations. ❤
Wow, so kind. Thank you☺️
Wow, Thank you so much!!☺️
I immediately started shedding tears when I watched this. After spending 20 years in the rat race, getting fucked over by corporations, friends and partners, severe depression and absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel, this slow living approach is what I crave for.
Just do it.
Ask GOD to help you change your life to a slower, more enjoyable life.
Blessings
It sounds like it! Thank you for sharing! Wish you the best🤞😊
It takes courage to live according to our inner calling. Agreed to start patially, getting some income n eventually move into it full pledge. May God bless you with abundant blessings 🙏
I’ve watched this video a dozen times. Idk what it is about it but it feels peaceful. ❤
Elderflowers go on to produce elderberries. Elderberries when simmered in a covering of water, then strained and the liquid brought back to the boil with a pound of honey per pint of liquid, makes a wonderful winter remedy that keeps flu away 🙂. When jarred in sterilised jars while still simmering, it will keep for years 🙂. Tastes lovely as well.
Thanks! I actually experimented with different elderflower berry juices - some with Black currant and mint. They turned out pretty well I think!
Excellent summary of exactly what i want to do
At 62 i dont need money but time is running out...
The way you split the three “jobs” is a good way to rationalise how working for yourself can mean looking after yourself / not necessarily owning a small business 🤔
Therefore Two days working on my food garden is essential and not a guilty pleasure.
Exactly! And Thanks!😊
Same here. I'm 61, divorced and my 2 children are about to leave the nest. In less than 2 years I will be retiring and I am now seriously considering on living full time in a Sprinter van I am converting. Time is indeed running out and I want to make the most of what is left because tomorrow it can all be over... ATB from Belgium.
This video is very inspiring to me when I am not living in my tiny house(12x28) I am living in my DIY truck camper build. I am learning what’s on the land around me and also have planted herbs and a few other things that mostly come back every year. Anxious this year to actually get some organization and plant vegetables also. You are brave to venture out of your normal and allow God’s creation to sustain you. You are right it is hard work, but it’s reward is greater.
did the same in 2019 after working in Manufacturing overseas for 20 years. finally decided to repatriate and build a beach villa in a beautiful windy coastal town famous for kitesurfing & surfing. My property is just 100 m from white beach front, Im working remote full time graveyard shift so I spend 3-4 hours day time outdoors gardening, tending to my chicken coop and my pets and next month looking to build a small piggery to supply local butchery at this small property by the hills that i just bought. So yeah, drastic change from toxic city and corporate living to simple country living may just extend my lifespan and have a better sense of fulfillment.
Thanks for sharing that story! Really sounds like a dream too! Congrats👏😊
Bravo young man. I like the idea of living a simple life in the country but it's not easy. Good luck with your endeavors and l hope you find a nice woman to share your life with.
That's lifestyle I want also. I am from China and visited Europe 2 times and it changed my mind for living. I bought a piece of land in Hungary and will do pretty much the same like you in the video.😊
You're liviing the best and right way of life . ❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm envious of your lifestyle. Your timing for moving in, in Spring of 2020 couldn't have been better considering the pandemic. I live in a small, old, rustic, A Frame cottage overlooking a small lake just outside of my hometown in southwestern Nova Scotia. I love it. But I would trade it for an old cabin in the woods in a heartbeat if I only could. Now it's time to start watching your videos from the beginning.
Yes, so much hard work, but so well worth it. Nature's rainbow bounty is the kindest and healthiest way to eat. Wild strawberries and raspberries? Yes, please. I really admire how he was able to use his passion to create a living and in doing so helping to educate others as well. I can also appreciate what a grind it can be at times, too. Work is work, after all.
Such a gorgeous and idyllic location and you can't beat a lifestyle filled with healthy eating & movement, a calm and peaceful environment and a good dog by your side. Wishing this young man and his pup a long and happy life together.
Thank you so much! We hope so too😊
This is peaceful living. If enough people start being self sufficient and not solely rely on corporations for income. Only then the workers can create some sort of leverage.
I'm a hard worker, but these last fews years. I'm overwhelmed with work along personal responsibilities. Then the high cost of living to exist in society. Just working to pay bills, only having small amount of free time.
I have my own plans on being self reliant, thank you for sharing part of your journey. I enjoyed your video, the nature scenery is calming.
I'm from Fiji and I recently went to New Zealand and I got a shock that the cost of living is so high in NZ. Rent bills n all other crap costs. I am a chilli farmer in Fiji I produce n sell n it's my income. We grow our own food. No rent no mortgage. Free life.
As a New Zealander, I always warn people about the high cost of food here. The cost of living is so expensive that people are constantly stressed now.
Greetings from Sri Lanka ❤. Continue your good effort. When people have slow life styles they feel as if they are really living . Practice mindfulness in your life adds even more essence to your expected lifestyle .Good Luck bro !
Thank you so much!! Will do - have been practicing😌
Hi Anders, just came across your channel as I’m thinking about moving to a tiny house and living a more nature-connected life. I’ve been a nature lover for all my life. Currently I have a 9 to 5 job, sitting all day in front of a screen…you know what that is. Health comes first so that’s why I need to do something about it. I’m sure your channel and your life experience since you started a healthier life will definitely be inspiring a lot of people, so … I’m joining your community on here from today 🙂🙂🙂. Cheers from Barcelona
I really hope so too! And Thank you so much - you are most welcome here! Wish you all the luck with your own dream!!
I work 2-10pm Monday-Friday. Love this as I have all morning to do what I want. Love what you are doing and sharing your journey with us. All the best with all your projects.
New energy,new Earth is on the horizon😊..I Quit my job recently..need to go back to our roots now.. Nature..
In ireland you require planning permission and permit if you want to live in non permanent structure for more than 10days and youll never get the planning per.ission in the country unless youre from there by generations. Ireland has ridiculous laws and then theyre surprised that they have housing crisis.
So true.
I was looking into it few years ago, when I was at a risk of becoming homeless. I was hoping to get a piece of land and put a log cabin or a static caravan on it.
The cost of the land was prohibitive enough - anything between 30-70 grand for a half acre site in my area.
true. it sucks! there's no way out other than to buy a house
It's already backfiring on them
@@valentina47734 what do you mean?
@@JaneWillowMusic Well,they have multiple crisis now. Immigration,homelesness. Greed can never be good. Even Irish can't afford to live outside of their family house.
Awesome
This looks wonderful, congratulations to this life-changing decision! What I find interesting is that Denmark apparently allows to install a tiny house in the woods - in the German-speaking countries, this is basically prohibited by our massive bureaucracy. I personally have to leave the rat race soon before it destroys me even more - after 23 years running high-speed I'm totally burnt out.
Thanks for the visual treat. I live in crowded, hot and humid South Carolina USA. What a refreshing change is your beautiful country and lifestyle. You are blessed indeed.
SC has lots of affordable land. Move and build tiny in the woods.
S C is my ❤ , but yes, it is getting soooo crowded.I came from Croatia 25 years ago and I looove South. People , food , culture, nature, but is getting so crowded everywhere
@@dennynisevic7848 I agree. Where in SC would you suggest I look for the best land deal? I'm a single disabled vet and can pay cash. It would be nice to find a place with a Yurt already set up since I could never do it myself.
I have lived in SC most of my life. So many damn people everywhere now! I have no idea where they all came from. For a world where the birth rates are plummeting it sure doesn't seem like it to me.
@@richarddharrison2 I mean if you're saying its crowded, hot and humid, maybe go near spartanburg. Should alleviate those things a bit and you stay in the same state.
Beautiful! May you be happy, healthy and free 🌱
Hello from Michigan! Loved your video, thanks for explaining how you make it work. Hope to get my own tiny house some time soon
I love how the animals in the forest must feel safe near you. That is my wish, to have a place where wildlife feels safe and that I can keep it that way into perpetuity. I am in the US, in Florida, and am watching the natural habitat be destroyed and it’s killing me to see it. I know that your way of life is a LOT (understatement of the year) of hard work. I love learning from you. Thank you so much for sharing your life. And big hugs and belly rubs to your dog. ❤
I appreciate so much what you are doing.
I live in a tiny home as well on a farm nestled in a forest. I love your video. I am still trying to find a way to make it all work. As I am renting and don't have a land to work and dream from. Love what you have done and your view on life. New here. Can't wait to watch more. 🙂
Thanks! Stay tuned…😊
Beautiful video! Thank you brother! All the love and peace to you and all living beings❤️☮️🙏🏻
super inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
I have the same coffee grinder as you!
And that dog is such a good companion, I can tell:)
Your house is super cool & your plants are SO green & healthy😊-a very nice job!
Wonderful clip. It exudes peace and purpose.
Very inspiring, I think of the "back to the Earth" intentional communities I visited or stayed at in the 70's. Many of them are still thriving.
We really don't need all the things tv and magazines and society try to say we need. If we brought back things like "community" life could be so much easier. Somewhere we got off track and thought we had to have all these materialistic things to arrive at some destination called sucess. You waste your life and energy and health in that pursuit. Relationships and experiences and living with and among nature is way way more important. Peace in your soul is a good thing.
Agree!!😊
Great video and content, thanks for sharing with us!
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing!
This was a great video, very inspiring - thank you
I love this. Thank you for sharing and being so real in talking about your feelings as well relating to still wanting human connections.
Greetings from South Florida 🌴. Thank you for sharing your journey. It's awesome to see you living what makes you happy 😊
Thanks!! Really appreciate it😊
This video story of your way of life is wonderful. Thank you.
I always find the people from your part of the globe so solid and intelligent! Thank you for sharing your wonderful happy, green life. Warm wishes and good health to you and your companion from The Dandenong Ranges, Down Under. 🌻🍀🐞
Wow thanks😊And you’re very welcome! One of my biggest inspirations regarding worklife-design is actually from australia - Katherine Gibson from Melbourne University I think is was! So I’m also grateful - hope to come back downunder some time🏜️
Dandenong Ranges is a gorgeous part of the world (20 mins away) in Berwick 🇦🇺
so glad i stumbled upon your channel - love your content!
So glad your page came toy attention. I look forward to seeing lots more and learning so much from you. I have a patch of dirt in my country, Australia, but it doesn't produce wild food like you have. You are so blessed to have so much wild food around you. I am keen to learn from you regarding earning an income from teaching others. ❤
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing. Look forward to seeing your other videos
You’re welcome😊Thanks!
Lovely area … thanks for sharing
Wonderful. Such a harmonious and soulful way of life. It touches my heart. velsigne dig.
Bravo! Very inspiring indeed. You are multi-talented😊
Thanks!!
Beautiful Haven, glad I found your channel, enjoyed.
Welcome 😊
A nice, quiet life in nature with a good dog, spent walking in the woods, doing mountain man chores seems idyllic. But one thing I still can't figure out after all these like-minded videos.
Where's all these orchestra trees? Just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser 🤔
Thank you for sharing this beautiful life with us, I also live in a tiny in BC Canada and highly recommend those who are called to find a way to take the leap it's very rewarding. Much gratitude to you.
This is such a great episode that as well as inspiring is a realistic and practical way to live a rich and rewarding life. Thank you for making and sharing.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Good job
Wonderful & inspiring…thank you
Inam so happy for you, you've made the right decision for yourself, God bless your journey🙏🏽
Thanks for your inspiration. I did the move last December it's challenging adjusting but totally worth it, eventually the peace of mind sweeps you.
Best video i have seen today.
Very calming.
Awesome video, you really built a life around simple living, this is very interesting and I can't wait to see more videos. Keep it up!
this really is a life worth living. thank you for sharing
This time the algorithm has failed me. Luckily you switched to English and so I was able to find your channel. And although I am very happy living on Als, Djursland has a special place in my heart since I lived in Esby on Helgenæs years ago. Now my break is over, it is time to start weeding again!
Wonderful. And what a beautiful companion ❤
Lovely visit 😊😊😊
Excellent videography, music and editing. Fantastic introduction and fabulous content. Vielen Dank, Anders! Peter
Thank you so much😊
Thank you from Melbourne Australia my friend!

Thanks☺️
So impressive. Thanks for this video!
You’re welcome!!😊
I'm so happy for you man!
I have same plan to change my life style and be a part of mother nature as well. Spending time amongst trees is the best a human been can ever get.
Not much time left till im there too, so cheers to the good change brother cheers🎉🎉🎉
This is my first time watching this channel. Obviously i subbed. Loved everything about it. ❤ From Florida

Thanks!!😊
great work!
This is an amazing inspiration, thank you for uploading and sharing your journey.
This is the way I want to go too.
The best of luck to you🤞
Thank you for sharing this awesome video. I really love what you are doing- loving the earth and living with nature, forest garden and achieving self sufficiency, doing incredible planting. Living simply with work-life balance
Thank you for your good, natural, and helpful lifestyle information. I was so surprised when you could your tiny house by yourself.
Amazing 👏 Go for it, your natural and healthy lifestyle. 👏
I've been doing van-life full-time now for about 2 years out of a squaredrop camper I pull behind my car in the states. Tiny Living here still has lots of obstacles....most zoning even in the countryside won't allow tiny homes that don't have their own sewer & running water, electricity. With Van-Life, there are more and more no overnight parking signs for places that used to allow overnight parking.
Have you looked into cal Earth? They build with sandbags. I think their projects are up to California code, and this could be legal other places. Best of luck 🇩🇰
The same here in Denmark! It’s not getting easier, although there are some new regulations that maybe are changing the game now🤞🤞
@@andersboisentinyhouse , thanks for the reply. Hope it gets better & easier for you too.
Matt
@@dortek882 , thanks for the Cal-Earth recommendation. Just checked it out...those earth sandbag homes look awesome.
Inspirational!
waooo inspiring video. thanks for sharing.
This is so Beautiful thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You’re very welcome! Thank you😊
Inspirational and honest.
You are living my dream life. Go you!
beautiful. simply beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your incredible life. Your dog is gorgeous and very happy.
Thanks😊☀️
I really support this kind of living life as peaceful and to be with yourself. More so close to nature🌿🍃🌿🍃 is absolutely wonderful.
