@e.mcgrady "We met Richie and his van this morning in Key West! We spotted him earlier on the run and then again near Smathers Beach. Couldn’t help but stop and chat. Turns out he made the top himself out of foam and has been living in it for FORTY FIVE YEARS. Talk about inspiration! He said one day he went out for coffee and veered hard left and bought a van and has been in it ever since. The inside of his rig was sooooo cool. He let us poke our heads in there and I got a glimpse of his @yeti cooler. Want to learn more about what other things are a necessity on the road? Press the link in my bio and van on! 🚐" #vanlifers . . . . . . . . #authenticasheville @authenticasheville @carolineperdue #vanlife #vanlove #vanspiration #vanlifeessentials #vanliving #vanagon #vw #vwbus @volkswagen @vanlifers #vanlifers @vanlifediaries #vanlifediaries #homeiswhereyouparkit #floridakeys #thefloridakeys #livethemoment @blackrapid #mytinyatlas @tinyatlasquarterly #vanlifemovement #vanlifeexplorers #vanlifeideas #friendsinmyfeed @friendsinmyfeed #homeonwheels (em Key West, Florida)

Here is some daily #vanspiration! Meet @scandivanners Age? Cara 26 and Sam 28 Q: How much did it cost you to get started? A: Our van cost £19,950 Q: What inspired you to live the van life? A: We felt like we'd been on a conveyor belt through school and uni, into good grad jobs and climbing career ladders but didn't want to buy a house and have babies just yet! We wanted an adventure 🚐 Q: Where do you want to go the very most? A: We started this whole thing especially to get to Scandinavia which we are aiming to get to by next Summer. We LOVE Norway ❤️ Q: What don't you like about van life? A: A small bed! We're both over 5'9" so that's one thing we're looking into changing about our van 🛌 Q: What do you like best about van life? A: That you get to travel anywhere in the world with your beautiful home with you (which you can make as basic or as luxury as you choose) Q: Any advice for newbs/people considering the lifestyle? A: If you see a van you love just go for it, don't hang around trying to save money on a van and wasting time 💰 Q: Anything you want to add? A: We would love advice too! If anyone has any tips on getting around Europe, the best places to go/drive then please let us know!

Good morning ☀️💕 Here is some daily #vanspiration! Meet Tiffany, 26 and Jon, 27 @thevanvivian Q: How much did it cost to get started in the vanlife? A: It cost us about $40,000 for our 2018 Ram Promaster and build. Q: What inspired you to live the lifestyle? A: We wanted to live frugally while avoiding the 9-5 work schedule. We really value our time and didn’t want to be tied to a normal work schedule. We also want to travel and hopefully find a place to eventually settle down in the US. Q: Where do you want to go the very most in your van? A: We really want to go to Maine! Q: What don't you like about the vanlife?A: A: Our least favorite things are pooping in our camping toilet (bucket) 🤣 and not being able to take our dogs everywhere. Q: What do you love most about the lifestyle? A: We love having the freedom to go where we want whenever we want, like the mountains one week and the beach the next! 🌴🌻 Q: Any advice for fellow vanlifers or people considering the lifestyle? A: Our advice would be go as cheap as you can and be prepared for things to not go according to plan. Things will constantly be challenging and you have to decide daily if this life is best for you. Q: Anything you'd like to add? A: This is your life and you never know where it will take you. So, follow your heart and do what makes you happy! Life is too short to not actively seek and choose your own happiness every day.✌💕🚐 I couldn't agree more, absolutely love it!

Daily #vanspiration from @this_is_vantastic Q: Age? A: turned 20 one month ago, but started living in a van with 18. Q: What did it cost to get started? A: My parents bought the van and I will pay the difference when selling it again. I don't talk about the price😅 Q: What inspired you to live the van life? A: Hmm difficult question. When 14, I decided to travel Europe in a car, caravan or motorhome after finishing school. At that point I had no clue that something like vanlife was existing. Q: Where do you want to go the most? A: I really was excited for Skandinavia. My favourite country definitely is Norway and I would love to go back one day. Q: What don't you like about the lifestyle? A: I absolutely hate (!) doing dishes. 😅 Also winter vanlife is not the best, at the moment it gets freaking cold in the nights. Q: What's your favorite part about the lifestyle? A: The best thing about vanlife is the freedom. I love waking up in nature and going wherever I want. And of course living in a small space with less stuff, using the sun for electricity and just some liters of water per week. It's the simple life that makes me happy. ☀️✌ I just want to add that vanlife is not always like the pictures on Instagram. There are problems on the road and also daily life takes more time. But in the end the positive aspects of vanlife make it worth🚐 Ahh and also to add: My travelbuddy is a Belgian Shepherd/Malinois and she is trained in protection. So I had no fears about safety on the road. My journey came to an end some weeks ago. I traveled 18 countries in one year. Now I am living in my van while going to university (this week is the first), because I can't imagine living the normal life in a flat or something like that 😅 Thanks for your lovely questions and safe travels to you! 😇 To see more of her awesome pics and van travels follow @this_is_vantastic #vanlife #freespirit #hippy #hippie #nomadlife #nomad #van #adventure #adventure time #adventurer #freedom #minimalism #minimal #minimalist #homeiswhereyouparkit #homeonwheels #travel #livefree #financialfreedom #vanlifecommunity #beachbum #roadtrip #liveyourlife #liveyourbestlife #explore #lessismore https://www.instagram.com/p/B40H7QeBQuXovuoxyoUr-vGsuCjsLoxCUcnnek0/?igshid=18dz5rtm77g5n

Daily #vanspiration 🚐✌ @projectmango53 We’re Katie and Kev, we’re 28 and 31. Our van cost £5500 and we have no idea how much we have spent on all the stuff to go inside- at a guess, I’d say we’re at about £600. Kev got made redundant at the beginning of the year so we wanted to invest the payout he got in something that we could both get a lot of fun out of! So far it’s paid off.. we have still got to build the bed in the back but hope to be able to do a few road trips in Summer 2020! We would one day love to travel overseas but until we have tried and tested van life, we will likely go all along the south coast, we absolutely LOVE Cornwall so would love to explore the coast (any tips/ secret spots welcome ). We love just being able to pick a spot and pitch up for the day/ weekend.. although we haven’t managed a whole weekend yet 😖 and advice.. GET YOURSELF A VAN- YOU WONT REGRET IT.. enjoy every minute of the build, you will have a love/ hate relationships at times, but I know we will miss working on the van when it’s done!
