A couple save £9.6k-a-year after escaping the UK to live and travel in a campervan - with their toddler.

Bex Elliott, 31, and Henry Gayler, 29, had always talked about living in a van but when they fell pregnant with Ronnie, now three, they knew they had to go for it.

The pair didn't want to retire in 20 years time with "nothing to show for it" so bought a van for £11k and spent £15k renovating it.

They have now been on the road for 11 months - travelling around Europe - and believe they save around £800-a-month and £9.6k a year on rent and bills.

They say their son Ronnie is thriving living in nature and he decides his bed times and what he wants to learn.
