A couple from the UK are traveling around Europe in a former bread-delivery truck they turned into a tiny home.

Iona Stewart and Martin Hill met while working in the French Alps during the winter ski season, and eventually decided to buy a home together.

That home turned out to be a bright yellow truck. But in a few short months, the couple redesigned it into a cozy sanctuary that they now live and travel in full-time.

INSIDER talked with Stewart about her home on wheels and what it's like to join the tiny-home movement.

Iona Stewart and Martin Hill were originally living in an RV when they decided to design a tiny home.

Already living a pretty nomadic lifestyle, the pair were staying in an RV when they first met, but they but wanted to find something more permanent that they could take on the road.

"The RV we were staying in needed a lot of work, so it was either gut that out and completely rebuild that or start fresh," Stewart told INSIDER. "We came up with a silly plan to build a new camper out of a lorry."



After struggling to find a truck that was spacious enough for their needs, they finally found one on eBay.

They discovered the perfect space in a former bread-delivery truck, and bought it off eBay for $4,600.



The truck is 28 feet long and just 7 feet wide, but Stewart and Hill worked together to make it as functional as possible.

"I'm handy in design," Stewart said. "Martin knows electrics, plumbing, and generally likes building stuff for fun, so we work well together."
