Meet the empty-nester who ditched her home to live full-time in a campervan

Meet the empty-nester who ditched her home to live full-time in her twee campervan - using dating apps to plot her route around America.

Beverly Brown, 59, spends her days hiking and doing wild swims, swiping on the apps and setting up dates as she goes.

She bought her van, 'Jennifer Vaniston' from a friend for just $1,500 and has explored all four corners of the States.

The spa owner lives a minimalist life, with just two drawers of clothes, but her van is homely with lace and doilies.

Beverly from in Pearland, Texas, said: "My clothes fit in two drawers, when I look at closets packed full of clothes and shoes I wonder to myself ‘what’s the point of all this stuff?’

“I think about the beach houses that people have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on and I currently have the same view for free.

“I love the idea that I can wake up in the van and the view is different each time I move."

Far from lonely, she talks on the phone with friends and family daily, and looks for van life meet ups to help her meet like-minded people.

Beverly stays between a single night and two weeks at each location before moving on, and has been doing so for over a year.
