- At 26, Kia Humberstone began building a home on the back of a vintage truck and trailer, hoping to find a more affordable path to homeownership without committing to decades of mortgage repayments.
- Based in Margaret River, Western Australia, she estimated that her second tiny-home project would cost around A$40,000, using recycled materials and her own labour to keep expenses down.
- Her decision followed an earlier experiment in unconventional living: during the COVID-19 pandemic, she built a tiny home on a truck for A$12,000, lived in it rent-free for two years and later sold it for A$35,000.
