Yvonne Hemmings, 60, from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, sold her house in 2024 and moved into a VW Crafter campervan to live and work remotely while travelling across Europe. The self-employed virtual assistant estimates her living costs have roughly halved from more than £1,000 a month for her house. She has encountered electrical faults, a flat tyre and a damaged wing mirror cover. Hemmings has also bought a small olive farm in Portugal.
