Couple quit jobs to travel world in campervan after annual leave request denied

A woman who had her holiday request turned down by her boss quit her job and bought a £25,000 campervan to live and work in while travelling around the world. Kate and Steve Kennedy, 30 and 45, fell in love with RV holidays after their first road trip saw them embark on a one-week journey from London to Rome.

The couple first bought a £5,000 campervan and went on multiple holidays during annual leave but when Kate's two week holiday request from her events management job was declined for unknown reasons, it was the 'straw that broke the camel's back'. Kate and Steve then spent years saving up for a luxurious £25,000 trailer which would be complete with everything they needed to live in it full time, Wales Online reports.

In 2017, the pair both quit their jobs and left behind their rental home in Leeds, West Yorkshire to pursue their dreams of travelling the world. Kate previously worked as a wedding planner and Steve as a small business owner and now they both live life on their own terms, often starting work at 4am and working their own hours while visiting countries such as Turkey, Greece, Italy and Slovenia.
