“I am an enthusiast for tiny living, and the inspiration for this foundation comes from my own experiences and observations. Living in a tiny house in the Netherlands gives me many opportunities that I would like to pass on to others. Setting up projects that benefit the Tiny Living Foundation gives me immense fulfilment.”
