Kira Sutton and his mobile home inminibus A mobile home in a minibus is a great idea for those who are not tied to a place and like to visit different places. Travel can take any form, be it treks for dozens of kilometers, cross-country bike rides, or flights on an airplane. Nowadays, non-standard ways of traveling are gaining more and more popularity - a permanent mobile lifestyle or the so-called "cohabitation" - searching for temporary housing in different corners of the planet on special websites. The most proven method with minimal costs is traveling by car. The current trend of moving in mobile homes also strikes people's hearts. There are still debates about whether this lifestyle is environmentally friendly, but it certainly destroys the stereotypes that the good life is a house with a lawn in the suburbs. Film director and surfer Kira Sutton has been living this life for over 10 years. His latest home on wheels is a 13-foot van, which you can learn more about in this video: Sutton writes about how he got started on the road: “I first tried van life about 10 years ago. I was filming a documentary on the move, with minimal living expenses. I had to survive by any means necessary while traveling, eating only cans of beans, which I only had money for because I didn’t have rent. This went on for three years.” Indeed, since 2006, Kira Sutton has lived in a van until he found a better option last year: a 13-foot Sprinter van. He immediately set about customizing and modifying it.
