A Young Couple Find Freedom in Simple Living

by Tammy on January 20, 2010

I normally don’t post on Wednesday, but I have exciting news!

A few months ago our lovely friends Janaia and Robyn interviewed us about our simple living journey. We talked about peak oil, tiny homes, and emergency preparedness. And the interview is up on Peak Moment Television!

You can watch the segment below or listen to the audio version.

Rather than follow the customary American dream, Tammy and Logan sold their car, and moved to a bikeable/walkable neighborhood in Sacramento, California.
