Kristin Hanes and her partner have lived without a permanent home, mortgage or fixed address for ten years. They spend summer in a Sprinter camper van in the United States and winter on a sailing boat in Mexico. In 2015 the couple left their rented home for a Toyota Prius to save on rising rents in the San Francisco Bay Area. The camper van has no toilet: Hanes says she dislikes relieving herself next to where she sleeps and cooks, so the couple use public toilets, dig holes under leave-no-trace principles and use a urine container at night. The boat has a toilet but requires emptying tanks and following rules on discharge at sea. They plan a 20–25 day non-stop passage from Mexico to French Polynesia.
