Lucy revealed they started living in a tent because of the rental crisis taking over Australia, and didn't want to be cramped into a small unit so decided to save her money and live amongst nature.

At the time she was also working as a marine biologist but it wasn't making her happy as she didn't have the time to spend with her children.

While most of us would hate living in a tent full-time, Lucy says it has it's perks.

"I don't have lots and lots of rooms to clean, I used to live in a four bedroom house with a swimming pool," she explained.

"I used to spend so much time sweeping leaves out of the swimming pool."

Everything Lucy owns fits into the tent and she loves the freedom of not having tonnes of items.

But sharing her life online has attracted a negative response.

"I had lots of people saying it's crazy, mad, saying that it’s really extreme," she added.

But Lucy said she felt it was from their own fear of choosing a different lifestyle.
