Georgia Broderick and her fiancé live full time in their 72-square-foot van. She breaks down the secrets to tiny living
Alejandro had been meaning to make upgrades to the van for a long time, but after I moved in, they become more pressing. In the first six months, we put in new insulation, got a multi-use camping stove and added a bench so we could sit while we were cooking.
Then, in early 2021, Alejandro landed a full-time job as a route setter at a climbing gym in Vaughan. At first, he moved to Ontario on his own. I wanted him to make sure the job was a good fit before I uprooted my whole life. So, for three months, I lived in the van solo. It was fun to be on my own, and I liked keeping the van extra clean. Sometimes I would feel scared—like when groups of campers were near the van at night—but nothing dangerous ever happened.
We don’t have room for a seating area, so the bed is the bulk of our living space. We eat dinner there, watch movies, do work. The space only gets cramped when we’re both using the kitchen, so it’s best if one person is in bed while the other is cooking or doing dishes. The best part of living in the van is that we we don’t have to pay Toronto rent. Until recently, we were still paying off the van itself, which was $600 a month. Now, our combined monthly expenses are only gas, propane, phone and internet bills, water, and groceries, all of which comes to about $1,500. Over time, we’ve figured out where we can park for free. Occasionally, we’ll pay to stay in a parking lot if it’s more convenient.
