Fulfilling life

"I was seeking more depth, purpose, travels and experiences, so I decided to get the van,” she said.

"Our decision was mutual, and we are still very close friends," said the nomad.
Building van
Schmelzer bought the van in May 2020 and started turning it into a home she could live in.
She singlehandedly did most of the work on the van, which boasts of electricity, cabinets and a bed just like normal homes.
However, due to the vehicle’s confined space, Schmelzer did not install a shower or toilet.
She instead uses public restrooms or relieves herself in the wilderness.
Protective
Schmelzer let on that she feels safe with Akela because she is protective and warns her of approaching danger.
The young lady has no plans of giving up the nomad lifestyle any time soon.
Young lady lives in her van with pet snake for over two years
In 2019, Legit.ng reported on a 19-year-old girl, Jennelle Eliana, who lived with her pet snake in a van.
Jennelle Eliana might not have a proper home, but she has made living in a van with her pet snake look very glamorous as she chronicles it on her Youtube channel.
Many would wonder how she copes with the basic luxuries living in a house affords such as having a bathroom and a toilet.
In one of her videos, Jennelle explained that she sometimes looks for a socially acceptable open place where she can bathe but she prefers to bathe at a gym bathroom. She added that she has been doing that every day for close to two years.
