Ambassadors of a Movement

Meet Alexis & Christian

We are Alexis Stephens & Christian Parsons, documentary filmmakers, educators, and advocates on an extraordinary 'Journey with a Purpose' with our DIY tiny home on wheels.

As co-founders of Tiny House Expedition, we seek to inspire others to redefine home and rethink housing through thought-provoking storytelling, resource sharing, and educational events. Humbly, we have the world’s most traveled tiny house on wheels.

Our documentary work includes the acclaimed three-part educational series, Living Tiny Legally.

We also support the tiny house advocacy efforts by serving on the American Tiny House Association board of advisors and Tiny Home Industry Association board of directors.

In 2020, we debuted three series on the SHG Living Network—now streaming on all smart devices. And 2021, our book was released—The Beginner's Guide to Tiny Houses.

Our Original Plan

After falling in love, we built our tiny house on wheels with the help of friends and family. Then we hit the road on an expedition across North America, an intimate exploration of the tiny home movement, namely the diverse people, pioneering culture, and the community experience. Our travels have been a way for us to pursue a passion project and live our values. Experiences and relationships over things, always!

Our Journey with a Purpose

Inspire & Empower

Our sincere hope is to inspire others to redefine home & rethink housing as a pathway to create more sustainable housing options, more meaningful lifestyles, and more connected communities.

Embracing intentional simple living can help you craft a fulfilling life & home centered around your priorities.

Storytelling & Education

Our documentary work provides instant access to the tiny living movement, from swoon-worthy tiny house tours to thought-provoking stories that showcase the fast-growing trend toward simple, sustainable living.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel & follow our blog.

Advocate for Acceptance

Our goal is to help create more social & legal acceptance of tiny homes by providing a better understanding of the diverse people living tiny & the many uses of tiny homes. Storytelling and local action (that's where YOU come in) have tremendous power to inspire positive change.

Together we can make a BIG difference! Join THIA.

"Our journey to tiny houses began with a burning desire to break free from stress and stagnation. We both stumbled across the movement at different times, despite being life-long lovers of pillow forts, cabins, and treehouses.

In 2015, we hit the road on an epic trip across North America to explore and document the tiny home movement. What we initially thought would be a one-year trip became a lasting nomadic lifestyle. And now, a tiny homestead!"

Unlike other similar villages, @tinytranquilitypark features spacious tiny house lots with beautiful landscaping (link to tour in bio). 🌳🌿 The hedges and shrubs planted between each make each space feel distinct and separate from the neighboring lot. But not too far away to have regular opportunities to connect with the neighbors for impromptu friendly chats or to plan a cookout. 👩‍🍳💃🍻

2021 was another interesting and challenging year…but there was no shortage of #tinyhouse, simple & sustainable living inspiration! 🏡✨🏘🌱

A major highlight of the past year for us was traveling to connect with numerous tiny dwellers. While each person is very different, coming together over common ground never gets old. There are certain qualities that they all seem to have in common: gratitude for their tiny home, a welcoming spirit, and a grounded perspective.

Sharing stories of those we meet is a true honor. Every day we are grateful for the ability to keep doing what we do. We are thrilled to share that our YouTube channel recently surpassed 250k subscribers. 😳☺️ Thank you for being part of our online community! We hope to inspire you to keep pursuing your dreams of living life on your terms with more great tiny & simple living videos in 2022.
