This week I have not one but TWO amazing guests. Both of these women have started living their road life dreams within the last two months and have gone through some significant changes and growth and disappointments and victories throughout their journey. I’m excited to have ‘em both on the show this week to share what the beginnings of van life are really about!

Lee has been living out of vans for almost seven years. It started out as a curiosity and an attempt to save some money living in expensive California and has evolved to a lifestyle and mission he never wants to leave. His life is built around breaking norms, pushing boundaries, and living life to the fullest.

In this episode, I dive probably a lot deeper than most people would when I get questions about my taxes and retirement plans, how to determine how much water to bring in a van, the demographics of road people, and whether or not YouTube is a viable income source for a van lifer.

Social media has brought a lot of attention to vanners over the last few years and while this is largely a good thing, it also has some negative pieces to it. With the glamorization of the lifestyle, it can seem unattainable to someone who isn’t young, adventurous, and living in a coveted Sprinter van.

Bex believes whole-heartedly (and I agree) that vanning is for EVERYONE. Regardless of your background, your age, your budget, your lifestyle.

Anyone can van.

These are a few of the truths I’ve discovered in the last nearly two and a half years living in my rig and I’ve been inspired to share them by my beautiful new friend Meg who recently moved into her Ford van after listening to my podcast throughout the build!

To be honest, sometimes I forget that my lifestyle is interesting to others. To me, it’s just life. But I’m reminded that it’s not regular day-to-day for most folk and that it invites a lot of questions and curiosity.

Here are a few of the most common things I wish non-van folx knew about us vanners.

Summer is right around the corner and if last year was any indication, people are getting outside more and more, often looking for those secluded camping spots, trying out their new rigs and growing their outdoors/camping wings. In this week’s episode I want to share some of the resources I use to find dispersed camping along with a few guidelines to ensure you - and those who neighbor you or come after you - have the best experience possible.

Mayaan & Ash met and married in Israel when they were both working at a local vegetarian restaurant. It was Mayaan’s dream to travel the world and she’d been saving up since she was 14 years old. Luckily, Ash is a more-than-willing travel partner and the two nomad around the world, spreading love and kindness and generosity wherever they go and receiving the same in return.
