A Fairytale Home In The Woods: Das Aussteigerpaar Kai und Ben lebt in ihrem umgebauten Truck in den Wäldern von British Columbia
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
**EDITORS NOTE: We cannot use her surname**
If you go into the woods of British Columbia today you could be in for a big surprise.
You might just find parked up for the night a truly magical truck with a handcrafted house built on to its back.
The International 4800, a beast of a vehicle originally made for off-road utility work, has been reborn as a whimsical, wood-fired, off-grid sanctuary.
It took five years to create after it was bought in 2013 by a woman who made the project her labour of love.
“I called it The Ugly Truckling because I always loved the story of the ugly duckling,” says the creator of the fantasy mobile home who likes to be known simply as Kai.
“I was an awkward, weird kid. Honestly, I’m an awkward, weird adult. But like the duckling, the truck started off ugly, and it grew into something I think is secretly beautiful.”
From the outside, the house truck looks like something out of a Disney dream.
Cedar shake siding wraps the entire frame, salvaged century-old windows add soul and light, and a hand-built Dutch door with curved stained glass makes the entryway look like it belongs on a woodland fairy tale set.
“When I first moved in, it didn’t have electricity, running water, or plumbing. It was just a box on wheels. I slowly built everything around me,’ says Kai, who is in her thirties.
“Now, it has most modern amenities. It’s not finished, but it’s comfortable, and its mine.
“I made that door myself. I used old glass with air bubbles in it to mimic historic pub windows. I wanted it to feel alive, like a house that evolved over time, not just something an architect plonked down.”
Inside, every inch of the 200-square-foot interior is bursting with detail and character. There’s a round window that Kai also made by hand, after discovering that buying one would cost her a whopping £3 700 ($5 000).
“I thought, ‘No way,’ so I just taught myself how to build on *** Local Caption *

Kayla Moyes (Collect/ PA Real Life) *** Woman who was only interested in her boyfriends
dating app profile because of the adorable snaps of
his pet pug tells how the intrepid trio now travel the
UK together in a souped-up Transit van
By Laura Withers, PA Real Life

A woman who found not one, but two life-long companions after swiping right on a dating
app "on a whim" when a picture of an adorable pug caught her eye has told how the trio
now spend their days travelling the UK in an up-cycled campervan.
When Kayla Moyes, 24, first saw maths teacher Sam Taylors profile in November 2017,
she admits she was only interested in the chubby ginger guy with the bad haircut
because of the photos he had posted of his four-legged friend Gary.
Pining for her own pet pooch Trixy, who was more than 4,500 miles away back at her
home on Vancouver Island, Canada, the student, who had moved to Cardif f, Wales, to do
a media management degree, thought she would give him a chance.
Now, two years on, her gamble has paid off, and she, Sam, 27, and Gary all live together
in Cardiff, spending their free time on the road in a souped -up mobile home.
Kayla, a PR Executive, said: If Sam hadnt posted a picture of Gary on his Bumble
profile, I wouldnt have swiped right.
He wasnt my type at all but he did have a picture of him with a cute dog.
At the time, I was suffering from homesickness, and was missing my pet cockapoo
Bichon, Trixy, who was back home in Canada.
So, I thought, If I swipe right for this guy and end up going on one date, then at least I
can pet his dog. I knew it wouldn't be a complete waste of time if we didn't get along.
With great grandparents who lived in Newport, Kayla was well acquainted with Wales, so
it was not a big leap for her to move to the capital to study an MBA at University of Cardiff
in August 2017.
But, with the pressure of her course taking up a lot of her time, she found it difficult to
me

A woman who found not one, but two life-long companions after swiping right on a dating
app "on a whim" when a picture of an adorable pug caught her eye has told how the trio
now spend their days travelling the UK in an up-cycled campervan.
When Kayla Moyes, 24, first saw maths teacher Sam Taylors profile in November 2017,
she admits she was only interested in the chubby ginger guy with the bad haircut
because of the photos he had posted of his four-legged friend Gary.
Pining for her own pet pooch Trixy, who was more than 4,500 miles away back at her
home on Vancouver Island, Canada, the student, who had moved to Cardif f, Wales, to do
a media management degree, thought she would give him a chance.
Now, two years on, her gamble has paid off, and she, Sam, 27, and Gary all live together
in Cardiff, spending their free time on the road in a souped -up mobile home.
Kayla, a PR Executive, said: If Sam hadnt posted a picture of Gary on his Bumble
profile, I wouldnt have swiped right.
He wasnt my type at all but he did have a picture of him with a cute dog.
At the time, I was suffering from homesickness, and was missing my pet cockapoo
Bichon, Trixy, who was back home in Canada.
So, I thought, If I swipe right for this guy and end up going on one date, then at least I
can pet his dog. I knew it wouldn't be a complete waste of time if we didn't get along.
With great grandparents who lived in Newport, Kayla was well acquainted with Wales, so
it was not a big leap for her to move to the capital to study an MBA at University of Cardiff
in August 2017.
But, with the pressure of her course taking up a lot of her time, she found it difficult to
me
