There are a lot of awesome #vanlifers on Instagram right now. How could we not be seduced by the commitment to independence and wanderlust that undergird that scene? I decided to round up some my favorite ones... Ready for a roadtrip wanderlust?
Either it’s on a giant expedition truck, an old school bus, a tiny van or a good old 4x4… who never dreamed about living on the road ? To have that incredible feeling of freedom every morning, to hit the road with no plan nor any timeline. Living with just the road for horizon, with no plan but to enjoy the journey. Without any obligation. Here’s a selection of travellers who will inspire you to live on the road -if you’ve got some recommendations please share them!

“We simply saw that life was flying by too quickly and we wanted to find a way to create more experiences. […] To live each day in search of adventure, together as a family, and to inspire you to find your purpose so you can live your life to the fullest. […] We live with a dedication to intention. We strive to wake up each day with intention—with purpose—to experience new things, to learn new things, to challenge ourselves, and therefore grow as people.”

“After 12 months around North America we decided to keep going, so we shipped our jeep to New Zealand. Join us as we traverse Oceania with stops in Australia, Indonesia and beyond. Currently the adventure continues as we travel around NA in our RV and Jeep overland vehicle. We continue to learn and grow, discover new places and meet amazing new people. Life is good as we approach the two year mark of the EPIC family road trip.“

“Nick Cahill and Jessica Perez are on the pursuit of achieving their own definition of happiness. They have converted a 1988 Thomas Mighty Mite school bus into their tiny home on wheels. Challenging themselves to live with less and experience more. Their living quarters may be small with only 100 square feet of space. But their adventure will be large.”

It is nice to start the day together, to experience adventures and be able to care for each other.”
