Greetings! 👋 I thought I’d do a little introduction since I’m going to be getting more personal by sharing our tiny house build. My name is Heather and also pictured is my husband, Mikael and our dingo, Dr. Indiana Jones aka Indy. Mikael and I met at film school (Go Beach!) a decade ago and have been filming & adventuring together since. We both almost majored in Marine Biology instead of Film, but have kept our interest in the ocean alive by both getting scuba certified. Mikael is also an underwater cinematographer, part of his specialty for our video company @seastandproductions. We have a lot of big goals and dreams for producing sustainability-related documentaries some day, but first we are focusing on building our transportable home base. Why are we going tiny? There are a lot of reasons, actually. So I’ll save that for another day! Fun fact: Mikael’s sister is currently (that’s an ocean pun) majoring in marine sciences, so we’re thrilled someone in the family is learning how to save our seas! 🌊
Our couch will be in front of this window and I’m looking forward to hanging a bird feeder in that tree. Bird watching has become a favorite pastime of ours in this area. There are so many cool varieties since we’re near the Effie Yeaw Nature Center/Park! #thegustysgotiny
We’re going tiny! @gladplaidlad and I are building a 24ft tiny home and are attempting to be as green as possible. So far our building posts can be found at #thegustysgotiny but we’d like to start sharing the specifically sustainable parts of the build/lifestyle with you here and on the Urban Treehouse YouTube channel. Yay or nay?
I put together a quick guide to help anyone looking for sustainable gift ideas this holiday. Suggestions include - The gift of wellness, learning a new skill, a fun activity, and something homemade. If you’re in the Sacramento area, I’ve got specific places I can recommend for several of the options listed. Link is in our profile and let me know if you’d like more details! Happy holidays! 💚🎄
New blog post is up about ecotourism in Cabo Pulmo! This place is a wonderful example of successful conservation efforts and an excellent spot for scuba diving! #urbantreehousetv
Today’s the day to help inspire change! For the Day if DOing, @dailyflourish is heading up an initiative to request @traderjoes reduce their single-use plastic produce packaging. It’s funny how many of us quietly protest by no longer shopping somewhere, but then we discover we’re not alone and we might be able to make a difference if we band together. So glad Morgan brought this to our attention! Please follow the link in my profile for more info and to make your voice heard if you want to see plastic packaging reduced. Thanks a bunch! 💚
