Evan Eames, 24, from Canada, asked strangers online if he could camp in their back gardens when he realised he could not afford to pay rent on top of international tuition fees for an Masters in Astrophysics at the University of Manchester.
埃文·埃姆斯今年24岁，来自加拿大。他在曼彻斯特大学天体物理学专业攻读硕士，当他意识到自己交完国际学生学费后再付不起房租时，他便在网络上询问陌生人，是否可以露营在他们家的后花园中。
 He received an offer from generous Stockport resident Charley Mantack after posting adverts1 on websites Gumtree and Reddit.
Evan went on to spend 10 months camping in all weather in her back garden in Heaton Chapel2 - and it didn't cost him a penny.
In exchange, he tutored Miss Mantack, 34, in maths and physics as she was studying for GCSEs at Stockport College.
He said the experience of camping in winter surrounded by snow was not too bad, but found it more difficult in the damp Manchester drizzle3.
Miss Mantack would often offer her spare bedroom when the snow was heavy, but the Canadian was determined4 to carry on camping.
Inside the tent he kept some food, shelves for his toothbrush and floss, headlamp, book, sleeping bag and a mat, with his laptop locked up safely in his university office.
He would use the shower in the university's Alan Turing Building to keep clean.
