If you live in a land of big spaces like we do, it’ll make you feel better to have a small space to call home.

Trust me, I’m doing that, living that. Small is the new big, I’ve been told.
Our wee little cabin in the woods outside Bariloche is plenty big. First, there’s all that space outside, which begin with two side-by-side lots adding up to 2000+ square meters. Then, beyond that, is that legendary space of Patagonia.

Inside our home, there’s enough room for both of us to take to a corner and become lost to the other’s presence. There’s room to find absolute quiet indoors, and yet it’s big enough for the speakers on the my laptop to turn the cabin into a funkhouse. Trust me, we’ve tried it.

We can welcome visitors, who get their own cozy nook as a base, upstairs, under the cypress rafters, nothing but trees out the window.

One bathroom and only a few feet of counter space are the trade off.

For a simplifikin like me, it helps me edit my belongings, pass on or never even pick up anything not essential. That, in turns, helps me focus.
I’m really interested in living in small spaces these days. Not tiny, cramped, squishy places. Just a place where everything has its place, where there is no excess.

Because there’s so much room to roam right out my door……
