Bella Roams, a remote worker for a nonprofit, moved into her Subaru in July 2025 after failing to find affordable housing in Washington state. Her spontaneous TikTok video garnered over 250,000 views, and her account now has 43,000 followers documenting car life. She aims to save for a van for longer trips and eventually create a parking community for nomadic travelers, especially women.
