Pablo, a Spanish waiter working in Switzerland, lives year-round in a compact campervan with his dog Bellota (also spelled Belota in some sources). He organizes his split shifts around her care and uses his two days off each week to travel around the country.
His work schedule is 42.5 hours per week, in line with the Swiss hospitality sector's collective agreement. Pablo avoids traditional housing costs but faces logistical challenges such as fuel, maintenance, and parking. He stresses the importance of understanding Swiss work permits and contracts for EU citizens.
He describes his weekends as '48 hours of absolute freedom', exploring villages, mountain passes, and lakes without needing to book accommodation. He shared his story on TikTok, and his life was covered by COPE.
