Ambassadors of a Movement

We are Alexis Stephens & Christian Parsons, documentary filmmakers, educators, and advocates. As co-founders of Tiny House Expedition, we're thrilled to welcome you to the world of tiny homes and simple living!

After falling in love, we built our cozy 130-square-foot tiny house on wheels with the help of friends & family in North Carolina. Then, in 2015, we hit the road on an epic journey across North America to explore the tiny home movement—the diverse people behind it, the pioneering culture, and the community experience.

What we initially thought would be a one-year trip became a 6-year nomadic lifestyle. Now, we travel part-time in our shuttle bus conversion and are slowly renovating an A-frame cabin on our tiny homestead in the PNW.

The priceless experiences, friendships, and lessons learned along the way have given us much fulfillment. It's our great pleasure to share inspiring tiny home stories and resources with the world, from our YouTube channel to numerous in-person events. If you've been a part of our journey, or just joining, we want you to know that we are grateful for your support.

One of celebrated resources is our docu-series, Living Tiny Legally, about the legal challenges around tiny house living and how they're being overcome through the work of inspiring advocates. These efforts to inspire positive change led us to join the leadership team of two outstanding nonprofits, the American Tiny House Association and the Tiny Home Industry Association.

Fun Facts! Our tiny home adventures became the inspiration behind the children's book The Big Adventures of Tiny House. In 2021, our book was released—The Beginner's Guide to Tiny Houses.

So basically, you get the picture: we're proud tiny house nerds!
