“The notion of hitting the open road and driving into the sunset sounds romantic, adventurous, and straight-up cool.” “‘The adventure is simply existing,’ an exhilarating—yet simple—slogan. The scenery just outside the window speeds by while the big picture on the horizon ambles along. New humans rotate in and out, popping up again down the road. Your backyard is massive. Rock climb in the morning, float a river that evening, have a drink by the fire at the end of the day, and then do it all again the next day. Mountain bike to the coffee shop in town for some Wi-Fi. Sleep at the trailhead and be the first person to the summit the next morning. The possibilities span out in front of you in all directions. A van is, at any given moment, at a metaphorical intersection with one thousand roads leading in every direction. It’s both terrifying and freeing at the same time.” —Introduction, pages x-xi Everything You Need to Know to Start Your New Van Life Dream + Prepare Learn what you’ll need for your perfect van life!
