Zorya, from the United States, has given an insight into her unusual lifestyleTikTok/@ _._zorya_._

That includes daily encounters with black bears, who are frequent visitors to her gardenTikTok/@ _._zorya_._

The TikToker describes her lifestyle as “slow living” as she immerses herself with nature and embraces the outdoor world.

And in a 17 second video uploaded onto the social media platform, Zorya shows viewers just why she chose to move to the woods.

Attached to the video is the caption: “POV: You moved to the woods to live your dream life.”

Included are a selection of clips showing the stunning scenery and Zorya’s newly adopted way of life.

Viewers can see how she cooks and what she eats, as well as what she forages for her meals.

There are also plenty of close encounters with nature, including squirrels, deer and even bears that come to visit her garden.

Zorya also shows how she collects wood for a fire and enjoys wandering through and exploring the forest.

Followers of the TikToker (._zorya._) were quick to make their way to the comments section of the video and express their thoughts on Zorya’s iconic lifestyle.

One person said: “This without working = perfection.”

A second added: “I love your life, you are so lucky.”

A third commented: “So many of us want this life.”

Zorya isn’t the only one to embrace the outdoors lifestyle, however, with plenty of others ditching busy towns and cities for rural peace.

That includes Deborah McDonald, from Canada, who lives in a tiny home in the woods that she built out of a garden shed.

She explained that it was much cheaper than buying a house or alternatively, a trailer, and it’s much more spacious than you might think.

Savvy saver Sarah also explained why she converted a rundown shed into the perfect tiny home.

Posting on social media to show off her tiny house renovation, Sarah shared a before and after look at the shed conversation, leaving many totally stunned.
