She’s been living this way since 2008..and it doesn’t make her a crusty hippy.

Her (and her family’s) wardrobe are small enough to fit into carry-on suitcases…which they pack, wheel away – and then their house is rented out to pay for their holidays.

But a small wardrobe doesn’t mean she doesn’t have style.
