Tawny McVay

Hi, I’m Tawny. For five years my husband and I lived and traveled in a school bus turned tiny home named Oliver. In 2023, we settled in the forest of Missouri to start a new project, a homestead and food forest where we work each year toward increasing our self-sustainability.

Through the journey, I’ve shared the beauty and struggle of bus and farm life across my original social media, Since We Woke Up, even writing a book of the same name about the lessons we learned over our initial years of bus life.

This year, I decided it was time for a new chapter, so I started this YouTube channel in order to share longer videos, including the behind the scenes and stories I didn't have room to share in those shorter social media videos and more of the inner world of the woman creating them. If you love animals, nature, gardening, and sharing meandering ramblings on this world around us - welcome friend, you're in the right place!
