The continuous and everlasting voyage of living in a van, either traveling, down by a river, or partying at every bonfire you can find. Off-roading is key and animals living in the van only adds to the overall van life.
Goals include having a convoy of vanlifers.
I didn't choose the van life, the van life chose me.

A bad reference to thug life used by predominantly well off, good looking people who very temporarily live in a van and post lots of selfies hoping to become social influencers. This is nothing like the actual homelessness or poverty that leads people to live in vehicles, it is a privilege similar to the tiny house movement. It relies heavily on photo ops in iconic places that people only learn about on Instagram, not as actual nature enthusiasts. Most #vanlife photos are taken of skinny white blonde women in underpants โhaving funโ or โ just living a modest lifeโ.

A way to escape people, and enjoy living away from society. Not necessarily in a van, Van Life can be enjoyed out of the boot of a Subaru outback too. Van life requires the liver to forgo the modern creature comforts, reducing life to the important parts: the people and places.
Put simply, it is living for an extended period of time in a car or van in order to camp in nature but remain mobile and a little safer.
Tina just sold her house; she's going full Van Life.
