Out of 100,000s of Skool communities, within just 6 months The Vanlife Network officially became a top 1% community – platform wide. 🏆 And here’s the wild part: our golden circle is still tiny—yet it’s making a global impact. 🌍 What started as a bold idea a few months ago has quickly turned into: - 📹 150+ hrs of Digital Campfires – agenda-free Zoom hangouts filled with laughter and deep chats. - 🔥 30+ in-person meetups — using our members map to meet around real campfires. - 🎙️ 12+ TVLN News episodes — weekly summary video to keep members up-to-date. - 🫶 Countless friendships that have turned online strangers into road family. - 👑 1st-edition TVLN merch drop – a symbol of support and belonging. - 🚮 Challenges like the 7-Day Litter Pick Challenge across multiple countries. - 🎶 Community-made raps & videos (yes, we literally create together). But more important than the numbers, we’ve built a space where vanlifers belong, making life in on the road feel a whole lot less lonely. ❤️ I'm proud to say that today TVLN is one of the most connected and uplifting spaces on the internet. And that's why we've created this free space. For you to: - get a feel of why Skool is different than an FB group, - connect with other vanlifers who care about each other and the planet, - taste what's going on in the most engaged vanlife community on the internet. Whether you’re planning your first trip or already living full-time on the road, you’ll find friendly faces, real conversation, and a taste of the connection we’re known for. Massive thanks to you—and everyone here—for helping build this movement. And of course to @Buddy the Boss for keeping the wheels turning. 🫡

I’ll start: My hammock ❤️ 👇 Your turn! (Pics for bonus points!)

Mirepoix (FR) is really worth a visit with its half-timbered houses, wooden galleries and a beautiful church. Market on Monday and Thursday. It also has a Voie Vert.

Normally you won't find me anywhere near cities as I'm not the biggest fan of big hurried crowds, lots of traffic and barely any green. However, that changed this weekend. @Mindy Molein flew in from Sweden to Barcelona to visit the Skool IRL in Barcelona together with me. And of course, to finally meet with @Annika van Helvoort, @Larissa van Leeuwen and of course yours truly @Buddy the Boss. Mindy and I stayed at a campsite (enjoyed the daily long showers and laundry services), while Buddy was chilling with Shiva and the rest of the team. The event was at a stunning rooftop bar with an epic view. To be honest, I had way different expectations from the event itself, but in the end we met some amazing people like @Arnau Fernandez, @Lucian Radu & the Goosify-team, enjoyed delicious plant-based food, and saw some cool architecture! All-in-all, the trip was worth it! Happy to be reunited with @Buddy the Boss, heading back into nature, and time to catch up with some work! Cheerios! P.S. If you wanna meet other vanlifers and hangout, check out The Vanlife Network! We host weekly virtual meetups and facilitate a map to spot and meet other members! 🫡

We - GeoKars and GEOrgCACHING - were both geocachers travelling a lot with out motorhomes to (mega) geocaching events in Europe. That's how we met and became friends. It took us about half a year to become lovers and another half year to sell one of our RV's. Good example of your best friends are other geocachers, don't you think? And of course we also needed a geocaching nickname together. So our mutual avatar was born: DNF. Why DNF? GEOrgCACHING is from Germany and GeoKars is from The Netherlands. For us DNF does not mean Did Not Find (the geocache), but "Deutsch Niederländische Freundschaft" which means German Dutch Friendship. So now we are on the road together, travelling in our campervan. We love to explore nature by foot or by bike and ofcourse we combine that with looking for a geocache every now and than. At the moment (August 2025) we are in the Pyrenees until it becomes too cold here. Then we will travel south to spend the winter in a warmer climate. We really would like to meet people on the road. So don't hesitate to contact us! Hope to meet you somewhere on the road! https://youtube.com/@dnf_finder
