A young entrepreneur has left the company he founded and sold his home so he can travel the world - in a converted Lamborghini.
Connor, 28, has turned his $200k (£160k) Lamborghini Urus into a campervan - and dubbed it a 'Camperghini'.
He says he's spent around $30k (£24k) to include cooking facilities, a bed and a powerful 21-speaker sound system.
Connor, who doesn't wish to reveal his surname, says he was suddenly inspired to abandon his materialistic living following the death of a close friend
And he now plans to take his motorhome to every country in the world.
He also jokes that he's probably the only person in the world to be both homeless and own a Lamborghini - and insists he has no regrets.
Connor said: "Sometimes I have to pinch myself. The doors that this car opens are just incredible.
"When you go on this journey of the American Dream you realise that material things aren't what's important - it's the freedom to do what you want, when you want."
Connor founded his own construction company in his early teens.
He then built up over the years, taking on employees and winning more and more lucrative contracts.
Connor said: "I worked 18 hours a day for the last 14 years. Then a buddy passed away and I broke up with my girlfriend.
"I thought, 'I could be doing this for the rest of my life and have continuous success... but where will I be?'."
A little over a year ago, Connor spontaneously decided to sell his house in his hometown of Colorado, buy a Lamborghini Urus SUV at an online auction and hit the road.
He has since spent thousands personally modifying his 'Camperghini' to transform it into what is possibly the first mobile-home-cum-supercar.
As well as boasting 641bhp and a top speed of 190mph (305kph), it also has a fridge, a stove, a bed, Starlink internet, a panoramic sunroof, solar panels, a water filter and a roof rack full of extra supplies.
Despite his outlandish choice of car, Connor admits he was more into Ferraris when he was younger and even considered getting an Aston Martin for his round-the-world trip.
He said: "The Lambo is absolutely amazing - it's such a fun car to drive around the world with. It was 100 per cent the one I wanted.
"Adventuring around the world in a Lamborghini is so crazy and different.
"I thought it would be cool to get an Aston Martin Vantage and put a tent on top, but I needed an SUV."
Though he's already visited a variety of countries across Europe, Connor has his sights on eventually ticking off every country in the world - including rogue states such as North Korea.
He said: "I see myself looking back and telling my grandkids someday about all the badass adventures I've had. So far I've just been bouncing around Europe getting the car done.
"I've explored a bit of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
"The plan is to go to every country in the world; most of Europe this summer th
