A Traveller said she's much happier settled than living life on the road as she hated "being moved by councils".
Elsa Chambers, who posts online under the username @cuzinsuzy92, opened up to her social media fans about how she would travel with her family when she was younger.
But as she got older, she found that she was "much happier being settled" because she was not being constantly moved on by councils.

In the video, which has gained more than 1,500 likes, she explained: "Obviously when we travelled, we were a lot younger and it was exciting, cause even if we got shifted somewhere the council people come out, so you can't stop it.
"It was all an excitement for us growing up because we didn't really understand the reasoning behind why we had to move. It's just like so common for us.
"We were excited. But when you're a kid, things don't really bother you that much. You just wanna be outdoors anyway. But now, I'm happy being settled. I can never picture myself going back into a trailer and moving about."
She explained that living on the road doesn't always account for natural human necessities like using the toilet freely and that in the winter it is better to be in a warm home.
"Before I came here, I was on a site in Wales, and in the wintertime, all the pipes froze up and the shed was outside to go to the toilet," she added.
"And I was having my daughter and I was big and round and clumsy. I was forever in and out of the shed, even when it was snowing and it was just horrible.
"I feel like when you're in a house or a flat, whatever, you get a lot more privacy. Or it's like, if you go out to the shed on a site, everyone knows you're taking a p*ss. So I do like the sort of privacy side of things."
The mum said she would consider travelling around campsites during the summer, but only if there was no risk of councils or farmers throwing her out.
"Every night again, we might have like p*ssed off a farmer or something, 'cause we go and play in the fields and whatever, but we didn't mean no harm by it," she added.
