Young British couple who struggled to find work during Covid now live off-grid in a US school bus

A young British couple who struggled to find work after graduating during Covid are now living the dream off-grid - out of a school bus in the USA. Harri Cook, 23, and Nicky Horsley, 22, left university in 2020 and walked straight into a tough job market.

Unsure what to do, YouTube inspired the pair to purchase a Ford Transit minibus - which they converted and drove around Europe in. Bitten by the travel bug, Harri and Nicky then returned to the UK and took part-time jobs so they could save to buy an iconic US school bus - which they now live in stateside.

The couple are currently living a nomadic life, travelling up and down the West Coast - and say they are enjoying taking every day as it comes. They estimate that they spend just $1,000 (£820) a month on food and fuel - while living "rent free". After selling the Transit, they bought Peugeot Boxer, converted it and sold it at a profit.
