Have you ever thought about just taking off to travel in a van?
Piper Lovell is doing it, after finding she'd have to save for another 15 years to get a home deposit together.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to buy a house by myself, ever. I'd be happy to live in the van forever,” Lovell said.
The 21-year-old instead left her job as a Hamilton receptionist, bought a van, and is travelling Aotearoa with her dog Rosie.

Child, 6, abandoned on first day of after school programme
A Hamilton mother wants an after-school programme investigated after staff failed to pick up her son - and failed to notice his absence - only for him to be found wandering the streets “alone and in distress”.
Sally Ford, whose six-year-old son was enrolled in the Knighton Normal School’s Knighton After School Programme (KASP), said the programme’s “inability to ensure his safety is completely unacceptable”.
