23 Years Living in a Lorry | Retirement Van Life in the UK | Mercedes Van Tour

Welcome to Nomad Season. In this episode, we meet a life-long nomad, author and adventurer, Mike Leaver. Mike, who is 72 years-old, has been living in his lorry for 23 years. His lorry broke down 12/13 years ago and it hasn't moved since and nor has Mike. It is currently situated on an industrial estate in North Wales where Mike has become a local celebrity.
As Mike says: it is a house, it just happens to be on wheels! This video delves into Mike's unique existence - a life that goes against conventional wisdom and is perhaps even more intriguing given the cost of living crisis in the UK and around the world.
Mike's way of alternative living includes extreme levels of frugality (living on just £15 per week), eco-minimalism (candle light over electricity) and self-sufficiency (foraging for meals). 2024 was Mike's best year yet and it shows in his happy, cheerful, and positive demeanour.

His lorry just just as much character and charm as Mike himself.
I pray he gets to keep living there until his dying day. God bless ya Mile, you're a national treasure.
There's a lot to admire about this man, living life on his own terms.
