The podcast Menschen auf Zeit has released an episode about Antje, who has lived since 2021 in Wilma, a 1978 Hymermobil motorhome. She bought the vehicle after seeing it online twice: it was already sold the first time but reappeared later. Antje travelled alone to Morocco and into the Sahara in the 48-year-old vehicle. The motorhome spent seven weeks in a workshop and required an engine replacement after overheating. The episode also covers life without a permanent residence, mail delivery and working while travelling.
