A former manager of an organic food company has recently completed his second Christmas staying in a caravan as he continues to enjoy his life without the need to spend money.
Speaking to the Independent, Mark Boyle revealed that he lives in the recycled caravan, which he received for free, on a farm near Bath.
The 30-year-old leads an extraordinary life. Tasks are varied and range from riding his bicycle to running errands in exchange for food. He even makes his own toothpaste.
Mr Boyle was initially planning on experiencing life without money for a year, but after settling into a routine has learnt so much that he has decided to continue.
He now has the long-term plan to establish his own community of individuals with no reliance on money.
Mr Boyle told the publication: “It’s been a fantastic experience. It’s taught me a lot about myself. I’ve never been happier or fitter, so I didn’t see any reason to go back to using money.
“The main surprise of the experience is how easy it’s become. After about two months, living without money became very normal. It’s actually quite easy.”
Meanwhile, the Leader newspaper recently reported that a homeless man and his dog are now enjoying the warmth of a caravan in the chilly temperatures after a group of friends in Wales combined to provide the temporary accommodation.
