Woman Quits Job To Live 'Nomadic Lifestyle', Becomes Homeless

Have you ever thought about living on a bus for fun? There are people who appear to do it, with countless nomadic influencers and TikTokers making waves online. There is something inherently appealing about being able to travel without the weight of incompetent landlords or mortgages. However, there are some downsides when this glamourized lifestyle goes wrong.

A TikToker went viral this week for filming day-in-the-life videos of her experience as a newly homeless person. She was planning on pursuing the "nomad" lifestyle popularized in family vlogs of people who have no permanent residence but live in a decorated van or bus.

These videos have sparked an outpour of support and discussions on her decision to quit her job to travel.

Many claimed that living in a van for fun is unrealistic for most people and that most nomad influencers are either independently wealthy or financially supported by their families.

Others questioned the appeal of having a home that's always moving, saying it's not for them.

Some Twitter users defended the nomad lifestyle, saying that just because it didn't work in this case doesn't mean it never works.

This situation is pretty devastating to watch. No matter what misguided decisions someone makes, nobody deserves to be homeless. This goes to show never to make significant life decisions simply based on something you see on social media. You'll live to regret it.
