Original source: Wales Online

Kath Cross and Stuart Hill sold most of their possessions, bought a 7.5m Mercedes Sprinter campervan, and left their rented house in Cardiff. Over four years they have driven through 14 countries across two continents, including Morocco, Albania, and Kosovo. Their daily budget is £30–40, less than their previous rent. They continue traveling despite rising fuel prices due to the Iran conflict.
