The funny thing about #vanlife is that it’s not entirely about the van. We know more than a few individuals who would probably agree with us (@explorist.life ).
.
A lot of people are looking for something ‘more’, and can sometimes hyper-focus on the vehicle. We totally understand the desire to find something beautiful and make it your own (we spent 6 months on our own build).
.
But the reality that Amanda and I have come to understand is that the van (or RV or Bus etc.) is just a vehicle. It can, however, enable the profound changes we seek. It allows us to downsize, to minimize, and to reduce what we ‘need’ to find happiness. And most of all, it can take us to amazing places, whether those places are National Parks or urban playgrounds (right now we’re enjoying the San Francisco Bay area).
.
So get your van and make it cozy, but don’t forget that it’s just the beginning of your journey. Let it enable an amazing and intentional life. Go explore near and far and find that thing, or place or person that sets your heart and soul on fire. Run around barefoot. Let your hair down. Find and share adrenaline-fueled interests. Love fiercely, friends and strangers. Be free.
