I live nomadically in England. I work a full time job as an HVDC Engineer, yet live out of a tent & car. No one knows! I'm not sad about my situation, it's actually quite empowering! All I have to worry about is staying warm, dry, clean, fed and hydrated. The basics. This year alone, I've managed to save £41k. I'm going to keep going til I've saved £100k, then none of it is going on rent / mortgage!

@DewiSant-o3y The dream is to buy a bit of forest land to live on!

@enhancedutility266 Van life is far too dangerous. If your vehicle is wrote off or damaged that it's off the road, your home is gone. Expensive too! I live for free in Staffordshire's countryside!

@GarethPowell-n7n Honestly, the hardest part for many, is dealing with the cold and especially in modern times, the overwhleming sense of freedom without technology/phones. I have a phone like most, yet I don't use social media, so everything I watch, I tend to make sure it's useful and/or entertaining in a positive way! For example: Youtube has taught me how to forage safely. On a basic level mind you.

@Michael-Has-Opinions No children. Not because I don't want too, but because many I've not been meeting many women that want families. I can only have so many hobbies before that need to serve something other than myself, kicks in.

@joeyemerace6553 I make good money, yet the same is achievable with less earnings. I quikcly realised how much crap we buy because of owning a home. Just fill it with stuff!

@kieranmallon5214 I use my Brother's address for everything. Employment wise, as long as you have proof for your, 'right to work', Passport / birth certificate.

@sarahann530 Yes. I use an OEX 2 man tent. A lot of my gear isn't expensive or high tech. I shower and keep my kit in my car at work, travel to my campsite, which is about 12 miles away. Hike out and set up for the night.

@gholmes5560 So I use my Brother's address for everything. I have a passport, drivers license and Birth certificate. My employer really likes my way of living, they're very considerate!

@carolinamontiel2525 Agree. Van life is dangerous - if you get in an accident, your home could be destroyed!
