I never want to live in a normal house so made my van a tiny home – I’ve been in it for five years & it’s perfect
A WOMAN has revealed how she ditched her normal home for life on the road after transforming a van into a tiny apartment.
It was 2018 when TikTok user Nic bought a van and turned it into her dream home – but according to the young woman, from the UK, she is not done just yet. And may never be.
Nic, who regularly shares short snippets of her routine on TikTok, insisted that the traditional route is not the one she wants to take.
”Many times I’ve been asked ‘when will you get a house’ and every time I still answer, I don’t want one.
”It really is that simple, I have no desire for a traditional brick and mortar house,” she recently revealed in a video.
”Right now, I’ve enjoyed 4 years of living in a van and I don’t plan to leave it behind any time soon.
”One day I’d love land where I can build my own little cabin but right now, I’m content, living in my van.”
Nic’s teeny white van – which is the fifth she has transformed so far – is a true source of inspiration and proof that even the oldest of vehicles can serve as a cosy home.
After purchasing the 2006 edition van, which she has lovingly nicknamed Dork, Nic gave it a stunning glow-up.
The once drab interior was ruthlessly removed and the online content creator revamped it with a modern Bohemian twist.
As well as having a small seating area made of wood, Nic’s added heaps of woven prints and cushions, a a stove for cooking food, a sink and a wooden countertop.
During the DIY transformation process, the craft fanatic also installed a bed at the very end of the van, the inside of which if white.

But whilst some people may be convinced she will turn back onto the ‘traditional’ route, hundreds of fans have grown fond of her lifestyle.
One mum was particularly inspired and said: ”I am really thinking about this when my kids grow up and move out.”
Another was just as amazed, writing: ”I so want this, and to be able to disappear from the world.”
”One person’s car is another persons castle, there’s no feeling like being in your own little home on wheels [sic],” someone else joked.
”Gorgeous!!!” a viewer exclaimed.
