People travelling in vans
If you’ve always dreamed of quitting your job, selling all your possessions, and traveling the world, you’re definitely not alone — but for some people, simply dreaming of a free life isn’t enough.
Recently, The New Yorker delved deeply into #VanLife, a brand new movement dedicated to those who have chosen to change their “normal lives” to living in a van (or similar car) and traveling the country and the world. Essentially, it takes the popularity of tiny homes to the next level; here, as well as tiny homes, there's an equally "aesthetic and mentality" present, and their popularity owes at least in part to the rise of social media.
“It’s a one-word lifestyle designation that has come with the awakening of a number of modern trends: a renewed interest in traveling around America, a culture of hippie-flexible hiking readiness, and a life free from the tyranny of 9-to-5 office work,” writes Rachel Monroe. Vanlife is an aesthetic and mentality and people have told me it’s a movement.
Whether you like #VanLife is up to you, but even if you disagree with it, it's hard to argue that it's not an aesthetically pleasing way to live your life. As proof, here are just a few of the most delightful photos the vanlifers shared on Instagram.
