Colleen Noakes

Hi, I’m Colleen.

I’m the voice behind Happily Homeless Toronto, a full-time nomadic mom, and the one behind the camera, the edits, the late-night uploads, and the stories you see shared here.

After more than 25 years working in branding, design, and marketing, life took a sharp turn and led us into something completely different. What started as a difficult moment turned into a new way of living one that’s raw, unpredictable, and, in its own way, freeing.

Now I document our life on the road across Ontario, raising our son Cameron in under 400 square feet, alongside four Jack Russell's and our cat Tuxedo. While my partner works full-time, I manage our home, create content, and build this platform from inside our motorhome.

I’m not here to sell a dream version of this lifestyle.

I share what it actually looks like the good days, the hard moments, the systems that work, and the ones that don’t. From navigating Ontario winters in an RV to figuring out family life in a small space, everything I write comes from lived experience.

If you’re curious about this lifestyle, thinking about it, or already in it and trying to make it work you’re in the right place.
