Macy’s home has been featured in Dwell Magazine, TIME Magazine, on Yahoo and various other sites internationally.

In 2016, Macy and her family downsized yet again to take life on the go. After re-building a 1966 travel trailer to suite their needs, they set off on a National Park roadtrip. 40,000+ miles later they are helping others figure out how to do similar!
