When influencer puple.lily.23 posted her first video about the tent she and her spouse live in, many assumed it was a permanent situation.
“We chose to travel the United States and live in a tent,” she explained to one commenter.
“I have a house. I just choose to live in my tent and see new things every day”
The travel agent and her husband both work remote jobs, making it easy for them to live outdoors without obstructing their lives or giving up their home.
According to their TikTok videos, the couple thought it would be a great idea to get a tent to use instead of an RV for their massive road trip.
“We wanted to experience living in a tent first so far it’s been great I don’t know if I would change it”
The couple purchased the Ozark Trail Hazel Creek tent for $200 and loved it.
Their temporary home came with two closets, corner organizers, mesh pockets, and even room dividers for privacy.
When on the road, they would often find a campground to stay in for one to two weeks before moving to a new area.
While the weather could be a concern for most long-term campers, the TikToker has been doing just fine during her travels.
“So far so good, We have been through some pretty high winds and it’s still in good shape. My husband also helped push it up while the winds were blowing,” she said.
The couple has traveled through multiple states documenting the highs and lows of living in a tent, and no sign of stopping their travel.
