'My man and I ditched our home to live in a white van'
A WOMAN has revealed how she and her fiancé decided to ditch living in their home and move into a white van - and why it’s the best decision they’ve ever made.
Heidi Elliot and her fiancé Julian Nevin, who are both photographers, previously lived in a property in Dunsfold, near Guildford.However, two years ago they decided to follow a lifelong dream - and waved goodbye to their usual way of living to convert a white van into their dream home. In a piece for The Metro, Heidi, 22, explained: “We’d often talked about being able to live on the road, so when Covid hit in March 2020 we saw the chance to turn our dream into a reality.
“After much thinking we decided on a modern van with low mileage, because we wanted it to look professional and be reliable, with enough space to convert into a mini-home and workplace, so we found a dealership in London.” The couple, who met while working in Singapore, forked out £25,000 on the Mercedes Sprinter van, plus a further estimated £12,000 on its renovations, and even took on extra jobs as a courier and cleaner to fund what they describe as their “lockdown project.”
