We live on a bus that costs £6 a day to run - life on the road is stress-free

I live on a bus with my partner that costs £6 a day to run – life on the road is stress-freeA COUPLE decided to ditch the comfort of their home and live on a bus after splashing out £2,400 on a minbus.

“I first considered alternative ways of living after splitting from my then-husband at the start of 2017. “It was a struggle with three dogs and a cat, and we soon realised that rent and bills were going to cost at least £1,500 a month. I’d always fantasised about living off-grid, so I started reading blogs about cheap ways to do it.“By April 2018, I’d sold the flat and we had enough money to invest in our dream. Browsing Facebook Marketplace, we splashed out £2,400 on a 1996 minibus.

“After our holiday, we headed back to Bournemouth to park up and go to work, going exploring in the van in the evenings and at weekends, stopping along the beach and in quiet country roads.“Our expenses were 40p a day on refillable LPG gas for cooking, hot showers and washing-up, and £10 a week on fuel, and it was usually free to park. Our weekly food bill was £30, and I’d cook roasts and lasagne in the tiny kitchen.

“Some of my best memories are of watching the sunrise on beautiful beaches, such as Ogmore-by-Sea in Glamorgan and Polzeath in Cornwall, happy in the knowledge I had no bills to pay.

Get a job instead of living of us

I’d love to do it but where do you register for insurance and tax? What about receiving post?
