Lately, I have been watching van life videos and have been fascinated by this lifestyle.  At this time I do not have any desire to be a van dweller but I do not see anything wrong with it. 

 There are many reasons why a person may decide to live the "van life" because they are interested in traveling from state to state or enjoying the travel and the people they are meeting on the way. 

 They could also be homeless or at risk of being homeless.  Living in a van could be a better option than living on the streets.

Some people decide to live in a van because rent is too high and they don't want to pay those high prices.

Living the van life can allow you to have a lot of freedom.  You can wake up when you want to and live in any state that you want at any given time.  Working on the road has become a lot easier. 

  You can attend meetings online, and also sell your products online.  There are many ways to make money without having a designated residence.

When you are considering the van life,  you will have to do careful planning to get your van ready for this endeavor. 

 You can save a lot of money while living in a van but it may cost a great amount of money to buy all of the products that you will need for your van. 

 Once you have outfitted your van,  you will save on bills such as; rent, and utilities.  You will have the opportunity to live life on your terms.  

You will always need to keep money on hand for food, gas, repairs for your van, and supplies. Here are some of the things you will need.

1. Comforter

2. Solar Shower

3. 3 burners portable stove 

4.Portable power bank

5. Items to protect yourself from getting robbed

6.Sink to wash dishes

7. Dishes

8. Small portable washing machine or a bucket to wash clothes in.

9. Items to keep your van clean inside

10. Small portable refrigerator

There are many other things you will need for your van.  Carefully do your research. Ensure that you are going to safer areas because living in a van is not easy and can be risky.  

Trust in your instinct while on the road and do not pick people up who are hitchhiking because it can cause you to be victimized.

On the other hand, you are going on a fabulous adventure that will allow you to have the kind of life that you want.  Traveling to different cities and states is always fun and rewarding. 

 Sharing your journey with the world enables us to see what van life is from your point of view.

People who are van dwellers seem to be more laid back and happy.  This is more attractive especially during the pandemic.  Sometimes simplicity is the best life that you can have.
