A couple traded their Philadelphia home for a £1,750/month London houseboat.
Maisy and Harrison were living in the United States when they decided to move to London in 2023. They were excited to start a new chapter in their lives and experience a different culture. As they settled into their new home, they were able to share their journey through social media, particularly on TikTok.

Maisy grew up in Philadelphia and attended The Savannah College of Art and Design where she studied graphic design. It was there that she met her fiancé, Harrison, who was also studying furniture design. After graduation, Maisy landed a job at Anthropologie's home office while Harrison pursued a Masters degree at Kingston University in London.

Their love for art and design is reflected in their home, which is located on a houseboat on the River Thames in central London. They were drawn to the property for its unique interior, location, and affordable price. It also allowed them to have their beloved dalmatian, Kipper Von Spot, with them.

However, finding a pet-friendly rental in London was not an easy task. After struggling to find a suitable place, Maisy and Harrison took the plunge and decided to rent the houseboat. They have since made it their own by adding personal touches and their own artwork.

Their home may be smaller than what they were used to, but they make the most of the space and have found it to be quite efficient. The couple also has a great outdoor space on the boat's roof, which they enjoy on warm days.

Living on a boat has its challenges, such as having to fill a water tank and dealing with wildlife that sometimes finds its way onto the boat. But Maisy and Harrison don't mind the extra chores, as they feel it's worth it for the unique living experience.

When asked about their future plans, the couple hopes to continue living on the boat for as long as possible. It has truly become their home, and they couldn't be happier.
