What van life means today

he last two and a half years have caused a lot of us to reassess our priorities in life. Are we really living our lives to the full? Are there new experiences that we should be trying out? Within that context, an alternative nomadic lifestyle called vanlife has seen a resurgence. 

It’s been around since the 1960s, when hippies would travel across the United States in vans. But social media has made it trendy again, and in particular Instagram where the #vanlife hashtag has over 13 million posts. Essentially, vanlife is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: living in a van. It’s a minimalist lifestyle, which also grants the freedom to travel and be adventurous.
