I ended up leaving my last place after some landlord drama (he showed his true colors the moment I asked about AC and mold). Within a call asking me to leave. With no backup plan, I packed up and moved into my car and honestly, those two weeks showed me I might actually be built for this. Living simply, traveling, and focusing on my purpose feels aligned. My Honda CRV has been great, but I’m curious how others make van life work. Excited to be here and learn from you all. So much thanks for having me!

Hello everyone, (I hope that here is the right place now😅) My name is Rike, I come from Germany and I have been living in a self-converted IVECO DHL parcel van for about two years. Last year, I travelled through Portugal for the first time for six months. Since June, I have been accompanied by a little white mixed-breed dog named Trine. I don't have much experience when it comes to travelling and am curious about the people I will meet here in the group. That's all for now. Best regards, Rike

Hi! My name is Laura, I'm from Spain and I've been living in my van since May 2025. I've been dreaming about it for 10 years tho, and I'm so happy to say I finally did it hahaha. I spent all those years so focused on achieving this dream and side questing studies, making money, etc. that I mostly kept to myself, but now I'm more excited than ever to meet like-minded people and make new friends! So happy TVLN exists hahaha So nice to meet you all! PD: this is a video I did about my journey finding the van buying it and building it, it's in Spanish tho, since I teach Spanish on YouTube, but it has subtitles!

Hi everyone! 👋 My name is Larissa and about 3 months ago I decided to give up everything — my house, my job — and hit the road to travel around Europe in my van. My loyal travel buddy is my dog Shiva 🐶, who’s always up for the next adventure. I’m a total coffee addict ☕ and love meeting new people along the way. The first month on the road felt a little lonely at times, but thanks to the Vanlife Network I’ve already met 6 amazing people in real life, which has made the journey even more special. Excited to keep exploring, connecting, and sharing stories with all of you! 🚐✨

I’m Seb, Great to be here! We’re hitting the road with our semi converted Vito van to Southeastern Europe and Balkans to explore more glamping sides. That’s how we roll glamping and travel 😍🏕️🚐
