Pio Terei

 

PHOTO: MĀORI TV Pio Terei is keen to get people Off The Grid in his latest TV show about the unique ways some Kiwis are living.

TV personality Pio Terei is hatching a tiny house plan.

It was a plan that needed some research first. So he hopped on his electric bike and headed off to seek out some of the country’s most innovative home owners; Kiwis who’ve chucked caution and convention to the wind to live sustainably and build the life of their dreams on their own terms. And boy, did he find them, dwelling in everything from teepees to whare uke, from container houses to earth ships.

Those encounters became Off The Grid, an eight episode TV series from Māori Television that aims to inspire viewers to give sustainable living a go.  There’s the sharing of practical advice and a few laughs along the way. Talking to him a couple of months before the show is set to air, it seems to have the actor, singer and comedian all fired up for a tiny house of his own.
