We live in a van because it’s much cheaper than renting…we spend just £150 per week & saving for our dream home is easy
A COUPLE have revealed that they live in a van because it’s much cheaper than renting.
Not only this, but because of their low-cost lifestyle, they have even been able to save up for their dream home whilst living on the road.
Laura and Aaron, two free spirits who are known online as ‘Parking on the wild side’, are ‘exploring the wilder side of Europe’ in their self-built camper van.
The couple regularly show off inside their van and their fabulous adventures online, but in a recent clip, the pair got candid about their lifestyle.
They revealed the four reasons why they live in a van, rather than renting or buying a property.
In the short clip posted on social media, we saw a variety of videos of the couple and their dog, as they enjoyed time in their van, on the road, and in nature.
Sharing their reasons for their ‘simple life’, the pair wrote: “It’s sooo much cheaper than renting so it actually feels like a sustainable lifestyle.
“We spend on average £150 per week.”
Not only this, but they also raved about the freedom their life on the road gives them, as they added: “The freedom to travel and explore wherever we want as slowly as we want.
“Some places in the wild just can’t be seen by train or plane but van life can take you to the heart of nature.”
But that’s not all, the couple then opened up about how their adventure lifestyle has enabled them to save, as they claimed: “Because it’s so cheap we’re able to start saving some of our earnings up for our dream home in the wild!”
Finally, the fourth reason for their lifestyle is because: “It makes us really grateful for a lot of things we used to take for granted having grown up in cities, like running water, hot showers and ovens.”
The couple later admitted: “We had no idea what we were doing and made it happen.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @parkingonthewildside, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 24,700 views.
Social media users were stunned at the couple’s lifestyle and many described it as ‘like a dream’.
One person said: “Dream life.”
Another added: “So dreamy.”
A third commented: “This life is like a dream.”
Whilst someone else agreed: “Like one of my dreams.”
