CHRISSIE JUNGE | Mere Mortals Interview # 024

Could you live in a van/truck for 4 years of your life? Chrissie Junge is a soon to be author as well as the Brisbane Girl In A Van. Chrissie packed in traditional housing in favour of a bare metal delivery truck, and lived around Brisbane’s greenery in its rough truck bed while slowly teaching herself to build it into a comfortable tiny house.In this conversation Juan and Kyrin asked Chrissie all of their accumulated questions of living out of a van and becoming a children's author. These included: that first night experience in the new style of living, practical matters of storage and liveability, challenges and highlights of living in her truck, how to write a children's book and spreading her message of the value of family/home. As always, we hope you enjoy!
