Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.

Austrian startups SpaceCamper and CampBoks expand camper market

Two young carpenters from Austria, Paul Schneider and Lothar Gallistl, developed the CampBoks—a modular box that converts vans (VW T4–T7, Mercedes V-Class, Ford Transit Custom) into a full camper in minutes without permanent modifications. The product is available in two versions: Lite (from €6,190) with a bed and nine storage boxes, and Pro (from €7,590) with a shower and kitchen. Production is based in Euratsfeld (Lower Austria) using a self-developed aluminum-plywood construction and RSO software for CNC; delivery time is about two weeks. Sales are via the website and dealers in Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, with free installation for pickup.

After 40 years of work, pensioner moves into a caravan due to small pension

Waltraud, an 80-year-old from Ludwigshafen, after 40 years of work receives a pension of about 1,050 euros, half of which goes to rent. She bought a 25-square-meter tiny house on wheels for 10,000 euros and is moving to a campsite. Transport cost 1,300 euros, covered by her daughter and son-in-law. Because her pension exceeds the threshold by 10 euros, she cannot claim social benefits.

Vanlife on the North Sea: Couple Cooks Menus for 180 Euros and Lives on a Parking Lot in St. Peter-Ording

Marla Vergin and Moritz Bächle, a chef and a pastry chef, have opened a pop-up 'Atelier Amuse' in St. Peter-Ording, where they prepare dishes from produce that the Edeka supermarket discards due to appearance. They also offer a private dining service at customers' homes: a six-course menu for twelve people starts at 160 to 180 euros per person. The couple lives in a converted Mercedes Sprinter on the parking lot next to the pop-up. The season ends on October 15, after which they plan a trip to Morocco.
