A woman who had had her annual leave request denied quit her job and bought a £25k campervan to live and work totally off grid while travelling the world. Kate and Steve Kennedy, 30 and 45, fell in love with campervanning after their first driving holiday - a one-week trip from London to Rome.
They bought a £5k camper and went on dozens of holidays during annual leave. But when Kate's two-week annual leave request from her events management job was denied for unknown reasons - it was the “straw that broke the camel’s back”.
It spurred the pair into action, and they spent years saving up for a £25k upgraded campervan - complete with everything they needed to live in it full time. And in 2017 they quit their jobs and left their rental home in Leeds, West Yorkshire, to travel the world - while Kate worked as wedding planner and Steve as a small business owner.
