'Bosses rejected my annual leave request – so I quit to travel the world in a campervan'
Steve and Kate eventually upgraded their campervan, splashing out £25,000 on a new model - but after some renovations, the pair estimate their van is now worth around £60,000.
Covid put the brakes on their travel plans in 2021, but the couple hit on the clever idea of renting out their van to UK staycationers,Six years on, they have visited Turkey, Greece, Italy and Slovenia and love living on their own terms - often starting work at 4am and working their own hours. Kate added: "We love living in the van - it's small, so incredibly easy to tidy, cheap to heat, and we can go wherever we want.
"We tend to go to tiny, off-grid resorts in places like Kos, Santorini and St Mauritz - and we love our snow sports in the winter. Now, the couple are currently planning on touring North Africa in the van - visiting places like Morocco.
