Van Life Guide: Building Your Home On Wheels
A Mobile Living Conversion Walkthrough
It is no secret that Van Life comes with its unique ups and downs — just as any other lifestyle does. I’m certainly no expert on life on the road, but through a combined two years of the lifestyle I’ve found myself learning through many a difficult experience. Running out of water and having a trip cut short — lucky to not get swallowed by sand on the way out. Being forced to live off snacks due to rotting food, and being stuck in a mud storm having no choice but to sleep in the driver’s seat — without access to my food supply. As with every challenge life brings, each of these experiences had helped me grow into a stronger road tripper, if not a stronger human.
Through moments of struggle from the nomad’s life, I have found that personal, emotional, and spiritual growth are the greatest rewards of this alternative lifestyle. Embracing the adventure is to carry yourself through tribulations — from my years of the road life, I’ve learned what works for me on the road — knowledge that I will dispense in this third chapter of my Van Life Guide.
