🚐 ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Sara.
I lived in a van full time for 2 years while my house was being renovated, and the experience completely changed how I view freedom, money, and simple living.
Now that the renovations are finished, I'm back in the house paying off renovation debt, keeping costs as low as possible, and working hard to build online income through YouTube and other projects.
My goal is simple: create a sustainable income that allows me to spend extended periods on the road again and eventually make vanlife a permanent part of my future.
On this channel, I share the honest reality of vanlife, budgeting, debt payoff, simple living, travel, and my journey back towards financial freedom and life on the road.
