We've heard of remote work, but remote living?

If you're a traveler and have a dream of taking an adventure around the world, then you will be envious of this couple. 

Ruthie and Josh Betts are travellers at heart and chose to convert their van and travel around South Africa. 

We often hear about people wanting to travel the world, yet they have not taken the opportunity to discover their own country. 

This couple took the leap and converted their van, who they call Ivy, into a mobile home. 

Their love for travel motivated them to explore our beloved country, all while documenting their travels on social media. 

Now this is what you call a great tourism feature for Mzansi and a proper commitment to taking a sho't left.

@life_of_betts 🇿🇦 Van Tour 🥹😍 So excited to share our home with you 🤗 We have lived on the road full time for 18 months and wouldn’t change a thing ❤️ #southafricafyp #vantour ##vanreveal #travelsouthafrica ♬ original sound - life_of_betts

The couple share content on their TikTok page about the many gems that South Africa has to offer, as well as camping tips, beautiful views of places they have visited, and, most importantly, what it is to live a day in their life. 

We're not certain this sort of life is for everyone, but it is certainly something that we enjoyed watching. 

And more than that, it definitely reiterated the beautiful land we live in.

With the majority of companies now offering their employees remote working opportunities, we can totally see this as the new way to live. 

But what are the costs surrounding living on the road and travelling? They give a round about evaluation on how much it costs, with their food, travel, and living costs.
