The United States has approximately 90% of homes in ownership. For Singaporeans, even the idea of renting is unusual. So, a Singaporean couple, Gracia and Yi Jia, decided to convert the van into a living space, and lived there for a year while they went on a road trip. In a conversation, they told their exciting story.
the story
Gracia Wei Jia wanted to travel around the world. They said, “Our dreams of materialism and merit in Singapore exhausted us, so we were careful not to pursue them. Our desire to travel the world together made us take a leap of faith, and living in a van became our happiest choice yet.”
They also said that living in our van provided the comforts of home and opened up the possibility of a new adventure wherever we went.
The couple also estimated that compared to rented living, the savings would be approximately $30,000 per couple.
