Traveler Alauna Roby said she decided to stop paying rent and now lives in her car. This helps her save a significant amount of money.

She has been living in her Honda Accord for the past two years and shows her reality in videos on social media. Now the state of Colorado has become a refuge for the woman.

She explained that she sold everything to travel and live on a tight budget, and she loves the freedom of living in her "box on wheels."

In a recent video, Alauna explained that she worked three jobs to be able to pay her rent.

"I live in my car because it gives me the freedom to be this traveler. I still have my personal space, I have my own little bubble. I have everything I need in a box on wheels, and it's very comforting," she said.

This lifestyle has enabled her to save thousands of pounds on rent each month, and instead of paying bills, she saves money by showering and using the toilet at the local recreation center.

Alauna's TikTok video quickly went viral and garnered a staggering three million views. However, social media users were divided about Alauna's living situation - while many were happy to praise her motorhome, not everyone was so enthusiastic.
