EP 31 | The Perfect Van Life alternative? Life on a Narrowboat with "This Tiny Life"
Description
This week we met up with our new friends Jack & Gabby from @thistiny.life who have lived in their tiny 56ft x 6ft floating home, for over three years.
So before we head off backpacking next month, we drove Jits to Oxfordshire to find out what life of a narrowboat is like.
It was Adam’s first time on a canal boat and my second and we both absolutely loved it! Could this be the perfect alternative to van life?
Since Jack and Gabby are passionate about sustainability, they have recently bought a new boat which they are converting into a fully electric, off-grid eco home. Here is a summary of the topics we cover:
An introduction to narrowboats
The appeals to living on a narrowboat
Costs of living on a narrowboat
Downsides to living this lifestyle
Slow travel, life mantras & mindset

A couple of months ago, Adam and I visited one of our bucket list destinations; The Buddhist Kingdom of Bhutan. A country most people haven’t heard of but if you have, it’s probably because it’s coined the ‘Happiest Country’, which famously prioritises its citizens happiness over national wealth...
