The Small Life: Travis and Jenna of The Eco Travelers

For the next installment in The Small Life, we’ve got Travis and Jenna of The Eco Travelers. Travis and Jenna bought and moved into their Airstream in July 2014. They aren’t traveling yet, but they leave for Minnesota on November 28th and will be on the road for at least a year. I’m so excited to follow their journey. Take it away, Travis and Jenna…

We owned a house for three years and loved making it our own. But we didn’t like the ongoing battle of what appliance will break next or who’s going to mow this jungle we call a yard. So we decided to sell and go tiny. We sold all of our furniture, got rid of the majority of our belongings, and bought a 1967 Airstream Globetrotter.

We went small because there was less stress, more time, and way more freedom. We are taking our Airstream, Luna on the road to see the country and experience all she has to offer.

Living small for us is about living with intention. When we buy things they have a real purpose, or many purposes. We called ourselves The Eco Travelers because we live it: we buy organic and local food, we shop consignment, and we live in less than 125 square feet.

Thanks, Eco Travelers! If you want to hear more about Travis and Jenna’s adventures, you can follow them through a host of services:

I may have said it last time, but I’ll say it again, I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! It’s in my 5 year plan to buy some type of small movable “home” and travel the country in it, and this series is just so inspiring!! Please keep introducing other like-minded, “small”-minded people!

Good series indeed. I’ve been full time with my 04′ Airstream since 2006. It’s been a good home, and I’ve met many people full-timing who aren’t the “standard,” RV’ers. My full timing began at 34, and here I am 42 now still in the Airstream!

I’m not sure if this happened for any one else but when I clicked on their website link there was an error because the address added a %20 to the end. I just deleted those two and were directed to the correct site. Just an FYI!
