Living in a mobile home:small family joys Life in a mobile home is both enticing and frightening. On the one hand, there is a feeling of endless freedom, on the other, there is a lack of stability and a lot of inconveniences. And many do not understand why they would give up a comfortable existence in a warm, cozy apartment for a nomadic lifestyle. But more and more people prefer to live this way. Spouses Mat and Danielle quit their jobs, sold their house and traveled in a van across Canada and the United States for two years. They believe that the most important thing in life is not wealth, but new experiences.
Always light Mat and Danielle from the startwanted to live simply and without frills. But then they got caught up in the frantic pace of modern life, the pursuit of a better position at work and mortgage debts. In the end, the couple decided that they could not withstand such stress, and found a home for themselves that suited their life philosophy. Now they live in a van on wheels, which costs as much as a cheap apartment in the suburbs. They recently did the renovation there themselves, and traveled for about a year with the money they saved. In the kitchen, to save space, there is a folding table, original pockets for kitchen utensils and a small container for dirty laundry.

Sometimes they stay at home for months at a time, and sometimes they visit friends and family, but there is no doubt that the boys are much more active and mobile than they were when they lived in a regular house.
