In Brief

Britons Kath Cross and Stuart Hall sold all their possessions and moved into a Mercedes Sprinter campervan. In four years they have travelled over 40,000 km across 15 countries, spending £900–1200 a month — less than the rent of Kath's Cardiff home.

49-year-old Kath Cross and 48-year-old Stuart Hall sold everything and moved into a 7.5-metre Mercedes Sprinter campervan. Over four years they have covered more than 40,000 km across 15 countries, including the Sahara, Europe and Scotland.

Their average monthly expenses are £900–1200 (about £30 a day), which is lower than the rent of Kath's house in Cardiff. Half the budget goes on fuel; they cook in the campervan and rarely pay for entertainment. The couple earn a living by creating content for their blog Vanavigation.
