convert an old van and travel the world,
Mike Hudson did just
that, in 2013 and has
just completed his 2014 blog,
but back to 2013 when he quit his job as a systems engineer, gave away most of
his worldly possessions, and began the enormous project of converting a
rundown, 10-year-old van into a home on wheels called Vandog,
the rust-covered LDV
Convoy, which Hudson had bought on eBay, required five months of hard work
before it was successfully turned into a cozy, self-sufficient camper equipped
with everything a person could need, sliding open the van doors reveals a
comfortable, timber-lined interior fitted with an expandable bed, a large
hammock, a work desk area, plenty of storage space, speakers, a fridge/freezer,
a gas burner and sink, a shower and toilet, a pressurised water system with hot
water on demand, and LED lighting that uses electricity generated from solar
panels on top of the van, gas, his main energy source, is stored in an LPG
cylinder that can be refilled cheaply at petrol stations,
in March 2014, after completing his
van, Hudson drove Vandog from his native Hull to the south of England, where he
boarded a ferry and crossed the pond, since then, he has travelled all over
Europe, driving across countries like France, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and
Austria,the 25-year-old traveller shows no signs of slowing down his whirlwind
adventure, so you never know, next time you are out and about you might see Mike
driving along side you on the Sukhumvit Road!
