A COUPLE have shared how they are able to live together in a tiny 4×4 which even has its own roof garden.
Alex Broggi and his girlfriend Elise travel the world in his Nissan Xterra SUV and took to TikTok to explain how they manage life on the road.

They showed followers their unique set up and gave an insight into how they make the most of what little space they have.
The entire rear of the car is taken up by the pair’s bed, laying across the folded-down back seats and the boot.
A small shelving unit fills out the gap between the mattress and the rear door, providing some extra storage space.
Things are so cramped that Elise admitted she sometimes has to sleep with her knees on one of the shelves but said it’s “super comfy”.
The couple make it through the chilly evenings by cuddling up together to share body heat before falling asleep in each others’ arms.
The remaining storage space is under the bed, which is slightly raised to accommodate a few draws where they can keep bits and pieces.
Unfortunately, at the time they made the video, Alex had recently lost his cutlery but they still had enough room for a small kitchen set up.
This included some nifty space-saving solutions like a sliding table surface that slotted back into the storage unit under the bed.
In the front of the car, the passenger seat is used for general storage when the pair aren’t driving.
When they are on the move, everything on the seat is moved to the bed to give Elise a place to sit.
Perhaps most unusual of all, the small truck features a makeshift roof garden in the form of a layer of fake grass laid across the top.
Other videos show Alex sitting up there to cook and play his guitar, while there’s also a patch of grass in the passenger footwell to make it “cosy” for Elise’s feet.
And the glovebox bears a charming hand-painted picture of a pine forest and lake under a clear blue sky.
Alex said: “That’s how we live out of our car.
“It’s good times.
“It’s a little cramped but it’s the best.”
It comes after a couple who couldn’t afford their rent explained how they moved into a bus, including an unusual feature that made them feel safer at night.
