Jennelle Eliana, known as the "Van Life" girl, rapidly gained fame on YouTube by documenting her life living and traveling in a 1995 GMC Vandura Explorer with her ball python snake, Alfredo. She astonishingly grew her subscriber count from 0 to 1.5 million within a month and has since amassed over 2.3 million subscribers. Jennelle briefly attended college but opted not to stay long. Her YouTube journey began with her first video titled "VAN TOUR | SOLO FEMALE TRAVELER lives VANLIFE with PET SNAKE!" In addition to her YouTube career, she worked full-time doing data entry for a company and sold clothing through a Depop account called jennellesgasmoney.
