A VEGAN van-dwelling vagabond has revealed her thoughts on ditching four walls for four wheels.
While this former nine-to-fiver had some trepidations about her new car expeditions, she maintains it was the best decision she had ever made.
Taking to TikTok, Abby Joselyn, 25, detailed her thoughts on leaving the nine-to-five job grind behind to live full-time in a van.
Her bio details that she’s “just a gay girl living in my van and eating plants.”
Filming in the great outdoors, Abby (@abby.joselyn) used an audio sample from the hit movie Barbie to illustrate her thoughts on ditching the cubicle for much cozier accommodations.
The clip began with Abby standing inside her van, with the rear passenger sliding door fully open.
Text on the screen read: “Quitting your corporate job to live in a van is much scarier than people realize.”
The video then cut to another woman standing in the doorway of the van as new text on the screen read: “You’re very brave Abby.”
Finally, it cut back to Abby sitting with her legs crossed inside the van as she placed a relieved hand on her chest.
“Thank you Abby,” the final bit of text read before the video concluded.
Abby captioned her TikTok: “[Single] best decision I’ve ever made.”
The video has amassed more than 84,000 views and another 7,100 likes and led several people to rush to the comments to give their thoughts.
“How did you do it?!?! how do u make money and what do you put on taxes ? genuine curiosity as im open to van life. thank u!” one curious person asked.
Another wrote: “It’s so worth it though,” punctuated by a muscle-flexing arm emoji.
Abby uses her platform on TikTok to showcase her day-to-day life, from sleeping to eating, hiking, and heading to a local gym to shower at the end of an adventurous day.
With housing costs rapidly rising and mortgage rates ticking upward in tandem, many people have taken to calling the open road their humble abode.
A content creator turned his Toyota Prius into his full-time residence and detailed the three key items people need before they ditch their four walls for four wheels.
And a woman and her fiance lived in their Ford Escape that they modified themselves to make the tight quarters feel like home.
