Ukrainian Van-Lifer Finds Freedom on the Open Road

A Ukrainian man named Volodymyr, known online as "volodya7117," is embracing a unique lifestyle. He lives full-time in a converted campervan, which he affectionately refers to as his "autobudynok" (auto-home). The van, a yellow Mercedes Sprinter, is equipped with a small kitchen, a toilet, and a double bed. Volodymyr says, "This is freedom and independence!" He uses the van to travel around Ukraine, making stops in the countryside and near lakes. While he expresses great enthusiasm for his mobile home, he also uses some strong language in the video. Despite this, his story offers an intriguing glimpse into a growing trend of alternative living arrangements.
