- Stephanie Virovec was once living an average life in her condo in Alberta, Canada.
- One day, she decided to pack everything up and move into a Tesla with her dog and her cat.
- This is the story of how she’s been documenting her journey on TikTok, as told to Charissa Cheong.
A few years ago, I thought I’d never leave my hometown in Alberta, Canada.
That’s why I bought a condo, hoping it would be a good investment that might help me to retire earlier in life.
After only a few weeks of living there, I realized I had made a huge mistake. I was dealing with a lot of anxiety at the time and hated living in such a large space by myself. It just wasn’t right for me.
I had a growing interest in van-life and the concept of living on the road but was hesitant about pursuing it because buying a van seemed like a very big investment.
So instead of doing something drastic, I decided to move into my car, which at the time was a Mitsubishi, to see if I enjoyed that. I immediately felt so much better living that way, and a week later, I went back to my condo to completely clean it out.
I’ve been living on the road ever since. Having quit my job I now work online and supplement my income with the rent from my condo, and live in a Tesla Model Y that was gifted to me by my ex-boyfriend.
I’m not alone either. I travel with my two pets, a dog called Snow and a cat called Finley, but I’ve also been taking thousands of TikTok followers with me, hoping to show them what tiny living can be like.
