One of the perks of living tiny is it allows you to move out of overcrowded, noisy cities. You can buy or rent a small piece of land out in the country, and become one with nature. You’ve lived in a closet-sized studio apartment in the city, so you’re prepared for the tight quarters provided by a tiny house. What you might not be prepared for is country living. While it offers a lot of advantages, it will also require some adjusting on your part. Before you pack up your tiny house on wheels and hit the road, take some of these country living tips into consideration.

SHOPPING WON’T BE EASY

If you’re used to hopping in your car to quickly run errands or walking to a nearby market for food, you’re in for a big surprise. Country living means everything is more spread out. A lot more. Going to a supermarket can easily turn into a day trip. For this reason, it’s best to do a bit of planning. If you’re going into town, get as much done while you’re there as possible. Buying in bulk might not be an option for you since tiny houses are small enough as it is. You might want to consider starting a vegetable garden and growing some food at home.
