Leaving everything behind to follow one's passion on the road sounds like something to be done during one's younger years. But in reality, the urge to be adventurous can strike anytime, as it happened to 60-year-old Australian Clare Colins, who recently decided to sell her home and hit the road to become a full-time photographer and artist in a converted Fiat Ducato/Promaster van. Here's a quick video tour:
Designed by Colins and built by Roaming Wild Campers, Colin's van is nicknamed The Mouse House and feels like a comfortable and homey space to be in. As Colins mentions on her website, she "took the plunge to live the life of a gypsy" by selling her house, paying off her mortgage and buying the van in order to travel and pursue her creative dreams as a photographic artist. Says Colins:
I am very happy with my totally ‘off grid’ tiny home in a van and travel when I feel like it.
