Anders Boisen, a 36-year-old from Aarhus, Denmark, decided to leave his comfortable apartment for a tiny home lifestyle after feeling constrained by societal expectations. Inspired by YouTube channels featuring off-grid living, Boisen sought a more economically free and sustainable life.
For years, 36-year-old Anders Boisen lived in apartments all over the city of Aarhus, the second-largest in Denmark . Despite having a comfortable living situation — a two-bedroom apartment he shared with a girlfriend at the time — and a job working in city development at a local municipality, Boisen tells CNBC Make It he felt confined by his lifestyle and the societal pressure of what life should look like at his age.
It was like realising a dream,” Boisen says. “I wasn’t just building something like a roof over my head; I was actually building a dream. It was like stepping into a new chapter in my life and all the things that will hopefully follow in that life.” In September 2021, Boisen bought a plot of land about 17,800 square feet outside of Aarhus for 160,000 Danish Krone, or $A35,000, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.
