Her TINY and CHEAP Van Life | Opting Out of Society | £3.5k Nissan Van Tour

Nomad Season

77,737 views

In this episode of Nomad Season, we meet Abi, who has been living in her tiny Nissan van for 15 months. We explore how she got started (for just £3,500), why she embarked on small van life, and how van life has enabled her to live a beautiful life, not a life in society that keeps people in fear, in debt, and in a perpetual tidal wave of consumerism. Abi has found another way to experience the world.

Our X-ray vision spotted a Wandering Turnip just off the coast when we were filming this episode. Indeed, locals confirmed a sighting of a giant Turnip who was seen loitering on an island in the background of our shot. ;)

As an older guy who has never thought once about this way of living I have learned a very valuable lesson from this young Lady, My admiration is immense.

As someone who worked in the NHS for 40 years as a professional but virtual slave i think you have the right idea. Live is topsy turvey.

What a lovely positive, switched on young lady.
Such a fab.contrast to so many of her age group, her parents should be proud of her.🙏

Hello, René from the Netherlands. Fantastic to see a concious-competent Lady live her own life in a cosy van what brings her whereever she wants instead of to bring her money to a greedy landlord/slum landlord. I realy admire this nice woman and I count her among the cats in this dog world; this is my metaphor for headstrong, independent-thinking and conscious people.Amidst all the barking in this noisy world, we just keep meowing happily in our own way.. I live on a seaworthy sailboat. God bless you sweet woman.......RockingRebelRene Veenstra from Netherlands

Spot on.🙏🙏
I've lived FROM my Skoda Fabia Estate for a year now, from choice as you have. I love it.
I have saved £12k so far from not having a house and rent,council tax, utility bills etc.
A game changer for me is a HUGE (£20 off Marketplace!) roof box for keeping inside of my ( with outdoors kit, tailgate tent, camping table, tools, spare food+water, motorbike/walking outdoors kit in) car tidy, sorted, uncluttered.🙏

She's so right about freeing up your life to achieve things you couldn't achieve if spending most of your life consumed by mundane work and never realizing your actual talents ever. What a tragic life that would be.

Charming young lady. I am old but found this lady very engaging with her story. How I wish I had done the same thing. Btw, she was so nimble getting up on the roof.

I love abi's channel she talks a lot of sense seems very genuine person 👍 🙏

Always good to see tiny van life going well! I happened upon this lady's content recently, she's cool, and a good artist too. You both make great points.. I gave up TV during covid, stopped reading the news soon after, it's been such a relief because it was such depressing fear-mongering.
You can't change the world, but you can change your world.

I like the roof wood .... I might have to steal that idea!

What a lovely young lady fair play to her for escaping the asylum of modern life. Im hopefully months away from giving up my flat and getting myself a motorhome the daily grind has pretty much worn me out Physically/Emotionally, its Sunday evening and im dreading the 2hr30m minute commute to work tomorrow morning im up at 5am and out of the front door by 5.30 its so depressing that I was already thinking about Monday mornings commute when I finished work Friday. Single male living in the South East paying 1k per month in rent alone throw in all my other bills and im working pretty much all year just to cover my overheads. Nice to see people having the balls to say enough is enough and breaking free from this system and these channels show its doable.
