Nomad has lived in a yurt since 2015 after ditching modern life - and has never been happier

A woman who started living as a nomad in a homemade yurt in 2015 when she faced debts of £10K is now “happier then ever”. Briar Miller left her £400-a-month rented two-bedroom after the last of her three children moved out.

She was keen to live in a place surrounded by nature and had also been struggling financially. Now, she moves around the Welsh countryside every six months working as a horse groom and gardener after building a yurt which she takes with her.

Briar collects rainwater to drink and burns wood to keep warm when conditions get chilly. She also has a compost toilet, helping her avoid utility bills in the process, reports Wales Online.
