TL;DR = The Vanlife Community (TVLC) is closing and everything is moving into The Vanlife Network, which is now FREE to join. We originally created The Vanlife Community (TVLC) to lower the barrier to entry — so anyone curious about vanlife could join, connect, and feel welcome without friction. That intention was right. Over time, though, we saw that running two separate spaces diluted our focus, crushed our engagement and split the very thing we’re here to build. Our goal has always been simple: 👉🏼 Connect vanlifers like no other place online and create a movement with a positive impact to our planet — not separation. So we’re changing things up for the better. 🫂 One community. 🗺️ One map. ❤️ One road family. 👉 The Vanlife Community (TVLC) will be closing, and everything is moving into The Vanlife Network, which is now completely FREE to join (with an optional Premium upgrade). Free members get instant access to our: ✅ A private and safe vanlife community ✅ Engaged and supportive members ✅ Interactive members map to meet other vanlifers in real life ✅ Exclusive merch at our TVLN shop ✅ Real connections with vanlifers across the world 🔥 Want to actually meet people, not just read posts? You can upgrade to Premium and: ✅ Join our 2x weekly Digital Campfires ✅ Get invited to our IRL events ✅ And much more exciting things for 2026 coming up... 🤫 Because you’re already part of this journey, you get a lifetime founding price until Feb 1: 👉🏼 $5/month or $50/year (after 1 Feb the price increases to $9/month or $90/year). Our Standard plan stays free. Premium simply unlocks more depth around the campfire. Real belonging, real friends, real conversations – how vanlife is meant to be. This isn’t an ending — it’s a reset back to what matters. One place. One purpose. One connected vanlife world. 🌍 Can't wait to welcome you to the community where all the magic happens! ❤️

7 nights go so quickly, fortunately I’ve got many more to go 🥰

After a fabulous morning on my bike, 52km leg stretch in fabulous sunshine & getting ready for my evening meal with friends, it’s now raining & time for afternoon tea 🤗 Gluten Free Christmas cake 😋 Where ever you are, whatever your doing & whatever you’re circumstance 🥂 Thank you for contributing to TVLC in 2025, it’s had a fabulous impact on my life and I love hanging out with many of you, who have become such good friends 🥰 I look forward to 2026 & sharing many experiences & adventures together 🤩

Hi everyone! Thanks for the add! I have a Citreon Relay campervan conversion and travel most weekends and some extended periods throughout the summer with my Collie dog ☺️ based in the UK if anyone wants to connect I'm hoping to get across to Europe in the van at some point when I have my confidence and sorted out the dogs paperwork! Would be great to have some friends to visit and share a campfire with and any tips and advice 🙏

Always sad at end of road trips, but fortunately only two weeks until full time Vanlife 🤗 Breakfast stop above original Gold rush find 1862 central Otago 🤗 (40 meters below man made lake, for Hydro power purposes)
