Let me share my Yurt expertise with you

My name is Sarah and I’m completely obsessed with yurts and living off-grid!

I have a dream to live off the land with my young family, and owning and living in a yurt has become a huge obsession of mine – to allow me to downsize and to get back to living more in tune with nature 🏕.

Finding and choosing a yurt wasn’t as straight forward as I’d imagined, so hopefully through this site I can document everything I’ve learned about them. From considering which is the best yurt for families, the best play yurts for kids, or the best yurts for year-round living, I hope to help others begin their journey towards owning a yurt and hopefully taking the leap into the off-grid lifestyle.

I setup this site as a way to share my own journey and experiences with others, and to maybe even encourage you to become a yurt enthusiast too!
