Are you a bit of a home bird? Do you hate leaving your home behind? If you answered yes to these two questions, then why not make like this man from China and take your house with you wherever you go?

Digital Spy reports that Liu Lingchao, from China’s Guangxi Province, builds his houses from plastic sheets and bamboo sticks. He then carries them with him as he moves around. Liu’s homes tend to last for a year each, so every twelve months he has to rebuild them.

“I can go anywhere I want to go. It’s an easy decision  when I want to move on,” said Liu.

“I feel free, I can go wherever I want to go, and I live on my own,” he added.

Liu makes his living by selling recycled bottles and says that his home is a simple way of keeping all his living costs to a minimum.
