A family sold their house to have the freedom to travel the world in a 6ft van – and say it saves them £13k-a-year. Nat Alstrom, 30 and her husband, Nico, 31, had previously loved travelling before settling back in their home country, Denmark, to have their son – Nohr, five. But after two years of living “pay check to pay check” they decided to sell their house to travel full time as a family in a 6ft van – and with their German Shepard, Zoey. The family have now spent two years on the road visiting 25 countries – such as Portugal, Greece and Turkey. Nat says when they were paying a mortgage they were often only able to save £10-a-month and they are able to put away up to £1,140-a-month.
