1 month agoWe've spent the last 3 years traveling North America in a van. The lifestyle comes with great perks, but it's not always easy.
One of the most surprising things about van life is how convenient it is. For example, when we return from hikes, we can change clothes (and even shower) right at the trailhead.

Relationships

1 month agoMy partner and I live in less than 70 square feet. Despite what some people assume, it's great for our relationship.
Extended time together in close quarters strengthens romantic connection through shared novel experiences and collaborative problem-solving rather than diminishing it.

6 months agoI traveled in a camper van for the first time. My 10-day trip through the Pacific Northwest wasn't perfect, but it exceeded my expectations.
A 10-day California–Oregon Mercedes Sprinter van trip was enjoyable, featured spectacular RV-park scenery, and incurred higher-than-expected fuel costs.

6 months agoWe spent $40,000 while living on a boat for a year and traveling. It was cheaper than living on land, but there were some trade-offs.
Elliot: Six months prior to us buying our boat, I don't think we would've said that we were going to live on a boat or buy a boat - it wasn't in the cards. The reason why it was an option was because of COVID. We were traveling full-time when COVID hit. We were in India and locked down for five months. We were planning to travel for a year, and we thought we'd figure out a way to travel longer and safer.

I kept just a few precious memories, like undeveloped disposable cameras, and my clothes in boxes tucked away at my parents' house. I had quit my job, and in just a few short hours I would be taking the biggest leap of my life: heading to an RV dealership with a $75,000 cashier's check to purchase a converted cargo van so that I could live in it full-time.
