British men turn waste trucks into RV for 300 days
In January 26th, the British 26 year old man Mike Hudson (Mike Hudson) took 4 months to reload a waste truck into a complete living vehicle and drive it for a 300 day tour of Europe, according to the British "mirror" report.
it is reported that Mike's original intention of building a RV was because he was tired of the monotonous daily life of the office. He studied website construction during the day and changed freight cars at night. 4 months later, he finally converted a vat truck into a comfortable RV. The car is fully furnished, including bedroom, lounge, kitchen and toilet, equipped with a 200 Watt Solar power system equipped with fridge and gas tank.
for dramatic changes in life, Mike said, "I've been living in Sheffield, where I have a good job, a car, and a lot of friends. I live in a house that I share with my friends, and I like this city very much. However, the stable life here has imprisoned me. Looking back on the past, I feel that I am mediocre, and this is not the life I want. I yearn for a life of difference, adventure and challenge.
he also said: "life on the road" has been lingering in my mind. I was lucky that when I told my friends to leave England and drive my RV around the world, they were very supportive of me. I was so restless and at a loss that I knew I chose a life without a return, I expected and lost, but in any case, it was an experience worth living. In March,
2014 took a 300 day tour around Europe in March after spending 4500 pounds (42492 yuan). During the trip, he went to many cities, and also to primitive jungle and wasteland. He went from England to France, Spain, Portugal, and then to the East, through Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and finally to Greece.
there are many unforgettable experiences in the journey. In Romania, Mike attended the Sun Music Festival and found a big brown bear in the virgin forest. Mike's experience in Slovakia could be described by the rest of his life, "I was trapped on a narrow Panshan Road, and the rear wheel of the van slid to the edge of the broken rock road. My foot firmly pressed on the brakes and did not dare to relax. Because the truck is a rear wheel drive, my feet will slide to the abyss behind me when I loose my foot, so I have to wait for the arrival of the rescue team. On that occasion, I thought it would be a miracle to survive. "
now Mike has arrived in Greece, but he still has no idea of returning to England. He said, "always drive on the road and stop at any time. This is the way I want to live. "
