I didn’t choose the van life, the van life chose me  Based on a Toronto Life article, we came to know of a Massage Therapy student attending Georgian College who is currently living in his van. Jamieson has a very interesting back story that led him to Massage Therapy school as a mature student and it also contributed to his decision to convert his van into a temporary home while he is studying. Jamieson discovered that he doesn’t need a lot to survive, and he would rather not owe anyone any money. He made a choice to go minimal which has turned out great for him! There are some obvious challenges to living this way, and it certainly isn’t for everyone but listen to Jamieson tell us how he makes it work and how it has actually contributed to his success as a student and apparently has given him some notoriety as the van guy.
