Man Quits Job to Convert Old Van into Mobile Home to Travel the World. Like many others, Mike Hudson longed to exchange the monotony of work and everyday routines for a life filled with adventure and travel. He made that dream a reality in 2013, when he quit his job as a systems engineer, gave away most of his worldly possessions, and began the enormous project of converting a rundown, 10-year-old van into a home on wheels called Vandog. The rust-covered LDV Convoy, which Hudson had bought on eBay, required five months of hard work before it was successfully turned into a cozy, self-sufficient camper equipped with everything a person could need.

Sliding open the van doors reveals a comfortable, timber-lined interior fitted with an extendable bed, a large hammock, a work desk area, plenty of storage space, speakers, a fridge/freezer, a gas burner and sink, a shower and toilet, a pressurized water system with hot water on demand, and LED lighting that uses electricity generated from solar panels on top of the van.

I asked non-American Internet people, family, and friends, “What are the cringeworthy things Americans do in your country?” Here are the responses I got, with names changed of course. Please don’t shoot the messenger. 1. They call everything quaint. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25.
