US woman living and traveling the world in Toyota Tacoma truck for the last three years reveals her epiphany

This US woman, who has been traveling the world, living inside her Toyota Tacoma truck, for the last three years, has revealed the pros and cons, and her ultimate epiphany, of opting for an on-the-go house rather than a static home.

It’s not uncommon for people to jump in the back of an RV and hit the road for a mini excursion.

But few people drive off for three years, leaving life behind to take their Toyota Tacoma around the world.

Ashley Kaye has, though, driving her transformed truck to over 20 countries throughout North and South America.

US woman has an epiphany after years traveling in a Toyota Tacoma

When it comes to leaving the mundane life behind for a new on-the-go regime, we’ve heard of people traveling around the globe on cruises or taking short Top Gear-like challenges to unfamiliar territories.

But this 32-year-old woman from the US has upped the ante and spends her life documenting her life from behind the wheel of a Toyota Tacoma.

Oh, and she’s not alone. Her good boy Porter, a rescue black Labrador mix, follows her as a trusted companion.

So far, she’s spent three years in her camper and is now on the way to Argentina from the US.

And now she’s had an epiphany.

“Life is just too short,” she said in an interview with CNBC Make It.

“You don’t have to go and quit your career to travel the world, but whatever your dreams and goals are in life, just start now, and everything else is just figuring out a goal.”

Having spent roughly $42,934 on the truck and a further $50,000 on its conversion to put in a bed and essentials storage, she’s now revealed just how she’s managed over the years, detailing the highs and lows.

The pros and cons of three years living in a truck

Kaye opted for a life in the Toyota over a house. So, how has the varying lifestyle differed from that of consistency? Well, it’s a mixed bag, but mainly a dream come true.

“It’s really an incredible way to travel because you get to set your own pace, and if you find somewhere that’s beautiful and peaceful, you can stay as long as you want,” she said.

It doesn’t come without stress, though. Maintenance and gas are difficult to keep on top of.

“There are pros and cons to every mode of travel, and a lot of red tape and logistics crossing borders.

“It can be exhausting, especially when you’re alone. You have to find a balance that works for you.”

As long as you have a furry companion, though, it looks like the possibilities are endless.

So far, Kaye’s Toyota Tacoma has been through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and more, and there’s no real finishing line.

Volcano or jungle, her traveling escapades always lead to a wonderful place.
