#38 A Not-Quite-Normal and Not-Exactly-Tiny Adventure with Sarah Carter

Published: April 27, 2016, 10:59 a.m.

b'There is simply nothing tiny about Sarah Carter\\u2019s adventurous life. After backpacking around the world this 23 year old downsizing junkie moved onto a tiny small sailboat in the San Francisco Bay harbor. She\\u2019d never slept or cooked on a boat but that certainly didn\\u2019t stop her from taking a risky dive into boat living. At a dinner party for her nearby boat neighbors, she met the love of her life, quit her job, and now they\\u2019re planning to sail around the world together. What could be better than taking your tiny house, and your newfound love, with you to Japan?\\n\\n Sarah Carter\\u2019s story is so fascinating and we came away from this interview aghast at her bravery and adventurous nature. Her conservative parents would really prefer that their 23 year old daughter live in a house next to them and let\\u2019s hope they don\\u2019t suddenly take an interest in podcasts. They just might also be aghast to learn what she\\u2019s up to now! After backpacking alone around the world, getting arrested in Japan, riding in shady taxi\\u2019s in Cambodia, and enjoying the West Coast\\u2019s scenery, she decided to settle down in San Francisco. But, not willing to shell out $2000 a month for rent, she bought and moved onto a tiny sailboat in the harbor. She then met Mister Perfect, sold her boat, moved in with him, and now they\\u2019re planning a sailing trip around the world. Her abject bravery is certainly admirable, but her throw-caution-to-the-wind life plan makes even us a bit nervous. And we\\u2019re not even her parents. If you enjoy a risky story in the making, you\\u2019ll love this admittedly not-quite-normal interview.'
