Welcome to Lester News today, two minutes of news that matter to Lester. A Scottish couple has sold their house to live full-time on cruise ships, calling it cheaper and more exciting than staying in the UK. 29-year-old Katrina Middleton and her 43-year-old husband Kevin unloaded their 200,000-pound home last month after, first downsizing from a 310,000-pound property. Back home, their monthly bills hit 6,510 pounds, but now they spend about 4,500 pounds cruising. They have been on non-stop voyages since last September, exploring the Caribbean, Mauritius, Miami, and beyond. Katrina handles her CRM marketing job remotely from their cabin, while Kevin works as an IT consultant, keeping to UK hours with careful time zone. Planning. The change has made them happier, with less daily spending on cars, groceries, and utilities once they're at sea. They unpack once, see new places constantly, and find they work more productively before fully unwinding in a fresh environment.

Their cruise expenses include fares, with meals, and entertainment, plus Wi-Fi, and optional outings. No mortgage or council tax means real savings, and they are already lining up trips for 2027. They do miss family and simple home comforts like fresh brews, but the adventures and new friends outweigh it. The couple urges others to test remote work on a short cruise first.
