I've lived in my Toyota Corolla for 10 months

A NOMAD has lived in her car for 10 months and had a kitchen, bed, and pantry available.

YouTuber Angie (@angieontour1) shared a video explaining how she renovated and lived in her car.

Angie quit her 9-to-5 desk job and moved into her 2016 Toyota Corolla in November 2022.

She started by showing how she slept in her car.

Angie said that she is 5 feet 9 inches so she was unable to lay horizontally in her car, so she removed the back seat and slept vertically.

She bought a thick mat from Amazon to close the gap over the old footrest and then placed an old memory foam mattress on top.

Angie said: “I can fit perfectly laying down and the mattress is thick enough that I can sleep comfortably every night.”

She also added that a small rechargeable fan can be hung above the bed for hot nights and a sleeping bag is available for cold nights.

Angie then showed how she used different parts of the car for storage, for example, the old footrest in the back seats were utilized.

That area became storage for products like toilet paper and cleaning essentials but also eight gallons of water.

The back of the car was home to the pantry, library, and clothes storage.

A large plastic box was full of dry foods like nuts, protein powders, and canned foods.

Angie added: “I have enough food to survive on for weeks if needed, I think I packed too much.”

Books and journals are also kept in a back nook as a little library.

Angie said: “To keep me entertained when I am off the grid.”

A trunk from Amazon is where Angie stores her clothes.

She said: “I try to be prepared for any situation while also packing minimally, there is a fine balance to that.”

The back of the car is also where Angie got changed most mornings but had a pop-up vertical tent she could use outside the car for privacy.

For privacy, Angie also cut out cardboard to for her windows and covered them in black material, as the windows were not tinted.

Angie said she showered at Planet Fitness gyms and brought a backpack with all of her shower necessities.

She added that a solar bag can be used in her pop-up tent if a Planet Fitness is not nearby.

The video then showed the kitchen area in the front seat of the car.

A Yeti cooler and two boxes with spices and cooking essentials were kept in the front.

Angie then showed how she used a small camper propane tank with a burner to cook or boil water.

She stated that she does not use many electronic devices but has a portable battery that can charge when she drives or a 60-watt solar panel for sunny days.

Angie added that two extra essentials in the car are a road map and a national parks guide.

Finally, the video showed a sentimental shot of a clip her grandmother gave her when she was 16 and just received her driver's license.

Angie said: “It reads, granddaughter you are very dear to me.

“Please always travel safely.”
