The people I interact with in the community on my travels are the nicest people, we have little in life but a semblance of happiness with the small things, and make the most fantastic human connections with others. It's not always easy to get by but the joy found from life easily out weighs the tough times.

The new freedom camping law in NZ is ridiculous. How the heck I'm going to replace my neat small potter loo (not stored under the bed) with a cassette one (they all need more floor space ), I don't know? Plus the cost. I've camped, tramped and cycled off and on all my life. I don't leave rubbish or poos behind. It's amazing how far you can walk or cycle to find a loo when you need one.PlusvI always carried a poo stick to carry solids out) A porta potty was a huge step up. And I realize what we did when I was younger is not sustainable these days. Just the numbers of people, make digging a hole in our environment not good. But... Come on why do governments tar responsible people with the same brush of the irresponsible. Those people will continue to do there ''entitled selfish behaviours'' I recently spotted a person in a huge (for NZ) RV emptying their black water down the bank of a road in the country. I didn't realise what they were doing. It was only later when I returned down the road I smelt and looked down the bank at the stream of toilet paper etc. 😢

It's only a few years since some startup company offered to provide £3000 (I think) temporary homes - barely more than enhanced garden sheds, but complete with bed, table, tiny cooker and shower. Assembled in a factory, and delivered to site on flatbed. Homeless problem solved, if not at a stroke, at least on a budget. But councils decided they were 'unfit for habitation.' No doubt in my mind, palms had been crossed with silver by the building lobby. The bizarre idea that a homeless person might be better off in a shop doorway than in one of those units shows how far this country has sunk.

[@ThatRomyKate]

Ironic considering lots of council houses (and private lets for that matter) are so full of damp and mould they’re not fit for habitation either

[@Kristenoyinbo]

It's disgusting

[@deonaeddy7749]

There are MANY homeless people that need to be in mental wards and off the streets. These people cannot live in homes. They're incapable. There are people on bad drugs who cannot just be pushed into one of these without first getting help and sober. There are homeless people that could live in one but like it better on the streets. It's what's become normal to them. There are homeless who are criminals as well as addicts and say they don't want help. They need to be scared with being told if they get caught doing a crime, they'll go straight to prison for an automatic 2 yrs with no chance of doing less than 2. There are homeless who are vets and old people who need to be put up in one of the many vacant buildings and the government take care of them.

A step that governments and people should respect as not everyone has the choice. I left home in a recession hit Ireland at 17 with a rucksack on my back and some money in my pocket, taking a one way boat ride to England. It was tough for many years, no back-up, and no family close by. Basic single room apartments for years without heating. It makes you stronger, hard and street wise.

[@PaulSchofield-p6b]

​@@katherinestevens6528 I did in the past drive long distances. Today my life is very different. My family live in the UK where we have a small holding full of rescue Alpacas, Goats, Geese, Sheep, Horses, Dogs, Cats, Chickens and Peacocks, plus others. I on the other hand, have lived out of a suitcase and have worked abroad for the last twenty five years. Poland, Lithuania, Morocco, Turkey, Sri Lanka, China and Vietnam. I have for want of a better word become a global nomad. You cannot believe how good it is to live in the middle of nowhere in the UK working with the animals, who absolutely love us, keeping the place fixed up, for the brief times in the year when I am there. So whilst I don't drive long distances in the real sense of the word, I do have itchy feet and have seen and lived in many different cultures and countries. We are not rich financially, but we are richly rewarded in what we can give back to our family and rescue animals and the way they react and respond to us. We cannot take what we have put together with us when we leave this world and hope our children will continue the animal rescue we have set up after we have gone. This is as close to living off grid as we have got with our three children and extended animal rescue family and we love it. Believe me when I say we live close to nature and have life long bonds when it comes to living with the animals, hand rearing and recovering sick animals in the kitchen and any other room when required.

Well Done! She's inspired me to get my Van "Organised" with just the things I need & even finish off the Solar, Dc-dc, batteries & wiring, then my fridge & freezer & fold up / down bed with a good sized cupboard, laying flat under the bed, when folded down. Got a decent amount of space.

[@wendyandrews7116]

Love her! Most realistic video of tiny house living that I have seen in a long time! This is truly what it is all about and I am inspired!

[@vivalaleta]

Good on her finding a way around being squeezed by the system.

[@Dottydoraukexplorer]

Lovely lady able to keep heritage crafts alive and a beautiful recycled van..amazing

[@elizabethneville3086]

"Pretty as a picture." I loved listening to this lady. She had a lot to say. Her truck is a real home, comfortable and beautiful.

[@BeaverAmik]

I think ppl who live a simple life are the happiest least anxious people.

[@becorations1]

I love that she called it a TARDIS. Lol It’s almost the right color, too. Lol Maybe that’s where she will go with the paint. She seems so interesting and very happy! I hope the nomadic life continues to be kind to her!

[@5teffi3]

Thank you for showing us your home, it is beautiful and I am glad you are happier now.

[@nicholasmiller5146]

The British Govt. makes this kind of living illegal??? ShameShame !! The Govt. should pay this lovely lady for being a Life Lesson Ambassador !!

[@andydixon2980]

Shameful. Government is the enemy to our freedom.

[@100Noddy]

No, it is not illegal.

[@andreaslind6338]

She said that the gov has pretty much made her way of life illegal. She said that she could only buy insurance by telling lies to the insurers. She said the gov classes her as homeless (probably because they don't have any other way to label her). So it pretty much is illegal, she has just found creative ways around it.

[@monkeyboy2297]

its definitely not illegal, British people have been living on the road for decades, even centuries, I've been doing it full time for 6 years, never had a problem

[@adredy]

@@monkeyboy2297 but where you can park ? at tesco illegal any other car park illegal street probably not safety today nothing is legal

[@MK-CELER-ET-AUDAX]

What a lovely lady. I'm ex Army and have PTSD. Have a house in Snowdonia but spent most of my time in the woods or up a mountain. Can't do bricks. I was going to get a (the norm camper van) but now looking for a horse box. Such a fantastic way of life. At one with nature. EXCELLENT 😍

[@thereseshine7506]

This young lady has a beautiful home. She's so resourceful! Loved seeing her home and hearing about her life.❤

[@rhonalow3271]

Just delightful Steph. Things have definitely changed since covid. I heard that covid orchestrated an unbelievable transfer of wealth from ordinary people to the obscenely wealthy. I am 71, living in Australia, and have travelled cheaply all my life. GOOD ONYA Steph🇦🇺 fulfilment is essential in your life❤️

[@jonathanboon1983]

Such a refreshing look at life and how you can enjoy life with only limited belongings. Good on her.

[@JudySnyder-dv5ld]

I love her vibe. The van is cozy and old fashioned. Love it.

[@chuffin-lgraphics3736]

Her point about the other videos on KZbin is true. I think it’s cause they are larping and not being authentic. When people are being authentic it’s recognisable and inspiring. Not cause she’s living in a van but because she’s being true to herself and thats the ultimate goal for everyone. Be your best self.

[@deeoh3708]

Good on her and thank you to the friend for letting her live on your property.

[@CaptSELLFISHRaVanLIFE]

What a inspirational person. Thanks for sharing. Love Her attitude..

[@amandajay6582]

Love your set up!. Connecting to the elements & keeping it simple is the best!. I've been 7 years as a UK van dweller. Adrian Flux Motorhome Insurance as a self build is a peace of mind as no issues whatsoever informing them of a wood burner in the van, added windows, bike rack etc!. ❤

[@wikdstixofcheese]

I think this beautfiul woman is doing life the right way 👍 i wish Steph all the peace and happiness she deserves 💙

[@kathleengrant8125]

What a lovoly ,intelligent lady,she is living her best life god bless her

[@lilykatmoon4508]

Wow! This is absolutely my favorite van life conversion! I’m crafty and artistic and I love to sew and wear historical dress. I have a late 1800s treadle sewing machine, and have always wondered how I’d bring that along. Her build has inspired me!

[@evibertolait8262]

It's all the bare necassities we really need. Not the things they tell us we would. Longing for simplicity and the raw life. Feeling where food, water and heat come from and having the right to create a healthier life for me and the planet. I plan to start a similar lifestyle in the next years. Send my love to the beautiful countryside of the UK!

[@yayac6503]

Beautiful , best alarm system (2 dog’s ) & she has everything she could need as well as want . Let freedom ring .

[@GratefulWarriorMom]

I get it❤ I'm STILL renovating my old rv, but it's clear that I need to get on the road now. Even though the rv isn't finished, I'm creative and resourceful, and I'm ready to start this new chapter of my life!!❤❤

[@sheelathackorbhaga7871]

Best of luck to you . Have fun 🎉🎉🎉

[@jerriaycock1726]

Young lady knows what she wants in her life and she talented any thing she does ,so proud 😊

[@tarmactrailandtrack]

i hope the lady had a carbon monoxide alarm if that wood burning stove isn't cemented in. Loved how she's used all the materials she has to the max value. Thats super smart. A great van

[@Stephsmidnightflit]

I do! It's very important to me as my dogs are precious. I have my electric fused up to the eyeballs too.

[@Rachellovescheese]

What an absolutely lovely woman. She’s living a wonderful life ❤
