van life

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.

Van life! (hops in van) (dog hops in van)

Van life

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 “having fun” or “ just living a modest life”.

Van life

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.

Vanlifer 

A gypsy with a camcorder who likes to try and blag parts for their vehicles for free in return for publicity in their free range spoon whittling or open source yogurt platting videos.

"Did you see that vanlifer the other day on facebook sat on a deckchair in the middle of the road, what a tool"
