Jorge, 55, moved from pizzeria to two-storey motorhome in Punta Médanos

Jorge from Dolores, Buenos Aires Province, sold his pizzeria after 26 years, along with his fishing boat and other belongings, to live in a converted 2007 double-decker long-distance bus with Marco Polo bodywork and a Mercedes Benz engine. He taught himself carpentry, electrical work and thermal fusion to convert the bus into a home, as he lacked funds to pay for labour. Five years ago, the bus, which previously carried 63 passengers on routes to Brazil, became his permanent home on the Punta Médanos island, where he set up a small supply store for travellers. Jorge started with 50,000 pesos in cash and a limited virtual wallet.
