#024 - In an industry that's largely male-dominant, I'm continually inspired when I meet women in carpentry and tiny house building.

Marie Beringer is a tiny houser originally from France, and is living in Auckland, New Zealand. Marie DIY built her tiny home with the help of some friends and is currently doing an apprenticeship in carpentry. Marie’s DIY story is inspiring!

In this conversation we talk about:

• Where to start when it comes to DIY building a tiny house
• Marie’s off-grid setup and the challenges of creating a self-sufficient life
• How Marie found a parking space for her tiny home
• Women in building and carpentry
• A realist misconception about living in a tiny house… and more.

About Marie

Marie: "I am Marie and 5 years ago I made the best decision of my life signing up for a tiny house workshop. I was working in a 9 to 5 job in a lab and after that I quit and started my own tiny house journey with the mindset of « how hard can it be »... spoiler alert ... it’s hard but not impossible, and with a good attitude and some support, you can do anything. 

Back to the present day, I now have my tiny house on a beautiful piece of land in west Auckland, entering my second year of a carpentry apprenticeship, building tiny houses for others. I am embarking on a new adventure trying to become more self-sufficient and having fun along the way."
