A WOMAN has revealed she lives in a car and a pop-up tent and loves her “crazy” life.
Alauna Roby, who is from the USA, explained that because she lives in a self-converted “motorhome”, she does not have to pay any rent, mortgage or bills.

So the yoga teacher and YouTuber gets to travel the world – and even has a simple hack to stay at people’s houses for free too.
The content creator, who sleeps in a 2006 Honda Accord, took to social media to talk about her life, leaving many speechless.
The curly-haired brunette beauty, who has lived in her car for two years, said: “When people hear I’ve been living out of my car for 757 days or something, people always say ‘well what do you do for so long? time?’.”
Alauna then confirmed: “Not being in my car 24/7, that’s for sure. I live in my car, which means I live in my car to do cool things.”
To save on fees, Alauna said he sometimes sleeps in the parking lots of Planet Fitness or Walmart.
Plus, Alauna shared her trick for staying at people’s houses for free – pet sitting.
She continued, “So I spent 250 days caring for pets in the last two years.”
Not only that, but she’s also been traveling – as she spent months in Central America and New Mexico.
The travel fan added: “I also spent 120 days traveling through Central America one winter and also spent four months working in White Sands, sleeping in the car on the weekends and camping in tents during the week while I worked.”
Alauna revealed that people call her “dumb” for her life on the road, but she is not intimidated.
As a result of her off-grid lifestyle, she can explore and have fun, unlike those with “responsibilities”.
She concluded, “So I live in my car so I can do all these crazy, weird things that you can’t do when you have a house and bills and responsibilities.”
Rules for living in a car
CAR LIVING is on the rise as people struggle to cope with the cost of living crisis and others seek a nomadic existence.
Here’s everything we know about the rules of car life in the UK.
In the UK, you are legally allowed to live in your car – as long as you follow some rules.
The only requirement is that your car has passed its MOT and is completely legal to drive on the roads.
If parked legally, there are no rules against sleeping or living in a car.
The trend of living in cars or vans has taken off in the United States, where some have been forced to leave rented accommodation after landlords raised rent.
Others have chosen to live in their vehicles in search of a free, nomadic lifestyle where they can travel throughout the country.
There are certain circumstances where it is not legal to sleep in your car in the UK.
Firstly, you must be in a safe parking space without violating any parking restrictions.
Certain car parks, parking areas and national parks and forests have overnight parking restrictions, meaning you cannot sleep there in a vehicle.
If restrictions are violated, you could be fined or even have your vehicle towed.
Secondly, you must not be over the legal limit for driving under the influence of alcohol or under the influence of any drugs if you intend to sleep in the car.
If you go over the limit, you could be charged with being drunk while operating a motor vehicle in a public place, even if you are not driving.
The ban on sleeping in the car when you are drunk is under the Road Traffic Act 1988.
The rule says you can be found guilty of an offense if you are driving a vehicle on a road or public place “after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in your breath, blood or urine exceeds the prescribed limit”.
REACTION FROM SOCIAL MEDIA USERS
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @alaunarobyIt clearly left many speechless as it quickly racked up almost 1,000 likes.
Living your best life. Good for you

Social media users were surprised by Alauna’s life on the road and many took to the comments to express this.

Another added: “Good for you, enjoy your life.”
A third commented: “Living your best life. Good for you.”
While someone else shared: “I love hearing your stories. It’s an inspiration.”
