People who opt for the van life choose to travel on a 24/7 basis. It’s a conscious decision of straying away from the typical life of a normal traveler and choosing to make it a lifestyle. Whether you’re curious to try this life or just thinking about it, why not try it out with friends for a weekend? You won’t regret it.
Designing your own van space takes a lot of work – but it’s much easier than buying furniture and assembling it in your home.
