The family saved as much as $17,000 during their world tour

A British family has saved approximately €17,000 by traveling around the world while living frugally. The couple, Billie Van der Walt and her husband Selwyn, calculated that living abroad was significantly cheaper than residing in the UK. They reduced monthly expenses for childcare, food, and fuel by staying in free accommodations and avoiding costly local services. By strictly adhering to their budget, they managed to save substantial amounts over a year. The family now lives without a permanent home, offering protection to property owners in exchange for free lodging. This new lifestyle has allowed them to spend more time together and reconsider their future in the UK. Although they plan to return briefly for a family event, they intend to continue traveling internationally.
