Melbourne A young couple quit their jobs late last year to drive around Australia in their van. At the same time, they also tow a small coffee cart to bring freshly ground coffee to rural residents across Australia.

Andy Hoffman, 36, and Jess Davidson, 32, quit their jobs in graphic design and catering late last year to drive a Toyota van and start their journey through rural Australia, Domen News reported.

Nicknamed "Saffy," the van accompanied the Davidson family for years and towed a small coffee cart filled with Melbourne specialty beans and coffee-making tools.

Davidson and Hoffman had a simple idea: to bring good coffee to rural Australia. They called the new business Round and Round.

Every few days, the two of them would move to a new town, open the coffee cart and make delicious coffee for the locals.

Davidson said of their decision to leave Melbourne: "The pace of Melbourne is not for us. We drive around in vans every weekend. On one trip, we looked at each other and thought it would be great to have a car as our home."

However, when they went camping, they rarely drank decent coffee, so the two decided to start a coffee business.

They remodeled the interior of the van to make room for storage, replaced it with a smaller double bed and raised it up so things could fit underneath.

Despite the tight confines of their lives, Hoffman and Davidson found it to be one of their most satisfying experiences, and their relationship improved.

Although they do not do this to reduce costs, but this way of living does allow them to save a lot of expenses, and they do not have to share housing with others.

Hoffman said the quiet lifestyle has allowed them to develop frugal habits.

He said,"Life is so much simpler. When we lived in Melbourne, there were 100 bars near our house, all our friends lived nearby, and we went out to eat and drink up to three times a week, which was expensive. Now that we live in the wild, without those things, our food will be simpler."

Davidson and Hoffman have incorporated minimalism into their lives, claiming that "less is more."

"It's easy to use less stuff," Davidson said."We wash less stuff, use basic cutlery, and like to use smaller sizes. I brought far more than I needed."

Davidson took all the clothes he didn't have to wear and sent them to the thrift store, leaving only the things he needed.

In the nine months Davidson and Hoffman have traveled, home has taken on a whole new meaning for them. "Home is where we park now, and whenever people ask us where home is, we say, it's that yellow van," Davidson said.
