  • In today’s video, we meet Linda who is living in her car but hasn’t let that stop her from getting on with her life. She runs an art business out of the trunk of her car, and, as you can imagine, it requires her to be ultra organized-and she is!

    It makes a person rely on themselves, contemplate life and proves something to themselves. I imagine that there is huge personal growth and wisdom that comes with it. Good Luck

    I don't know how a person sleeps in a car comfortably. But I'm glad it works for her. I have lived in a studio apt for almost 11 years and love having a small space. Wow, think of the money one could save living in a car without rent. But it's not for me. I'm too security oriented when it's time to sleep. And I'd never feel secure during the daytime in an isolated area like she is set up in. Not in a million years would I do that. Bravo, lady.

      To the left of the car (looking at the video) is a blue duffel bag, her fold up chair, looks like a Coleman Stove on a small fold up table, among other things around there. The think flapping in the wind is her pop up tent that she uses to pee/poop in that had folded in and was leaning against the wind and partially flapping around. I don't see any dog and that's not her backyard...I think it's either a city park and/or BLM land.

    My hatchback impreza is my home and even though its summer im enjoying it.
    Yes this life has drawbacks, especially when your car breaks down unexpectedly.
    But there is a turn the key and go freedom that is just unmatched when compared to a house ot even a studio apartment.
    Im tied to nothing but my job.
    I shower with fresh water out of a pan 6 days a week, sleep on public lands and campgrounds, and can cook, clean myself, and do my own laundry at times.
    The lack of rent or gouse payment is such a blessing.
    When winter hits" ill get a van. But even then, the same concept applies.
    Im not spending 800 bucks every month for a closet sized studio that im tied to and that gives me a chain and ball that keeps me from being free to do as i wish.
    Hard yes.
    Not easy by any means.
    You hace to give up everything but your desire to live and a few clothes a bit of food and a way to cook.

    I believe this lady is very sincere, but I also believe there's a lot there that we don't know about. for example you take her automobile 16 years ago, that would have been the very high-end automobile for the average person. Something's happened since she was able to purchase a car and that part of her life we know nothing about.
    She has chosen a different path and I wish her very well. 👍🇺🇸
