Nikita Crump and Billie Webb are best friends, content creators, TikTok stars and soon to be reality stars who just so happen to live in their cars. Dare I say more successfully than most people might live in a house or an apartment. Aside from a myriad of stories about Van/car life, their trajectory through TikTok fame, dealing with trolls online and in person and creating enough content to sustain brand deals to survive, the thing that really draws you in is their unfettered and sometimes brutal honesty when it comes to choosing how they live their lives and how much they share with their audience. They’re genuine, they’re real and they out a lot of heart into everything they do. Enjoy this one guys it’s a blast!

Billie is a renowned TikTok Star, Van Lifer, and Model out in California.

At the start of this whole living-in-my-car thing, everything was so different. I was working at a T.J.Maxx, hardly making enough money to survive, paying rent late, begging my manager for more hours and more training for my alleged promotion, eating those $1.29 packs of ramen regularly, or not eating at all.

But, with or without support, it felt like the right move; it was going relatively well, and the stress of paying rent was gone. I didn’t realize just how much that was weighing on me, until it was gone. I started to feel happier and more free all around. I documented updates on my YouTube, where I had just 69 subscribers at the time.
July 3, 2020 I made my first TikTok. It’s just a dumb, 14-second video of me washing my head in the bathroom sink at work, and displaying this device I use to do so. (We were still rolling deep in COVID-19 restrictions, so my gym wasn’t an option for a shower anymore.) I hardly even understood the app —wtf is a FYP?— but the views started pouring in at an overwhelming rate and that dumb video set my future in motion. Today, I have the opportunity to make these kinds of videos, my full-time job. What a fucking dream.
