After an earthquake devastated her home in Christchurch, New Zealand, she packed what was left of her belongings and headed to Australia.

Meet Vicki, a woman who turned a catastrophe into an opportunity for a fresh start.

There, she found a job and stayed with a friend while she saved up to rebuild her life.

 

As she began rebuilding, Vicki realized she didn’t need a large house.

Instead, she decided to create a tiny, custom-built container home that was just the right size for her and fit within her budget.

Vicki found the perfect spot for her new home on a lot opened by a generous couple for people with mobile homes.

The location was a bonus, offering a stunning view and a spacious field where she learned to grow her own food.
