A young Nottinghamshire family say they feel "liberated" after selling their home in order to live in a campervan whilst travelling Europe. Lauren and Jamie Selby, along with their three children, made the drastic change last year after finding themselves in a "dark place".
The family, from Keyworth, had turned to the help of a charity after both parents lost their jobs and a death in the family. Recalling one of their lowest moments, Mrs Selby said: "My husband's sat there with his head in his hands and I'm crying, thinking we can't do this anymore, it's not the life we signed up for.
"I was really poorly when I had the third baby which is why we got help from Home-Start. We thought 'what if we break-down? Who's going to have the kids?' We were at a point where if we'd got divorced we would be better off and been able to afford to keep the house."
