6 Months on the Road — My Vanlife Milestone 🚐💛
Hey fam! Today I’m celebrating 6 months of living full-time in my van — 184 days on the road! ✨ Half a year of freedom, chaos, growth and so many unforgettable moments. Here are my 6-month vanlife stats: • 5 countries explored 🌍 • 12 nights on campsites (7 with my mom + some laundry + friends 💛) • 4 times sent away by police/park rangers 😂 • 9.5 hours longest drive / 2 minutes shortest drive • 7 times out of water 💧 • 3 times out of electricity 🔋 • 0 times out of gas 🔥 • 19 times my cabinet flew open while driving 😅 • Coffees spilled while driving: 5 ☕️ • Showers taken in nature: a lot (almost every day) 🌿 • Books read: 3 • Van problems: 1 (so lucky 🍀) • Memories made: infinite ✨ • Friends made: so many — and especially because of TVLN 🫶 • Too many coffees made (because I’m obsessed ☕️) The truth? It’s not always easy. I’ve cried, I’ve wanted to give up, and I’ve felt more alive than ever.I’ve learned that you don’t need much to feel rich, and that the world is full of kind and inspiring people — especially in The Vanlife Network. Feeling really grateful today. 💛 I’d love to hear from you: What’s been your biggest milestone, win, or lesson in vanlife so far? Big hugs, — Larissa ✨
