I used to dream of vanlife freedom. But in reality, I had no income, was overthinking every step, burning through my savings, and feeling lost driving from place to place, hoping it would fix everything. On the outside, I was living free. Inside, I was scared and stuck – dreaming of the freedom I thought I already had. It sucked because I had no idea how to make money online. No roadmap. No mentor. No one to hold me accountable. I felt lonely and isolated because none of my friends or family understood what I was doing. Just me, my laptop, and a growing sense of panic every time I checked my bank account. Then I realized freedom doesn’t come from going places – it comes from helping real people solve real problems. When Skool came around, things finally clicked. Within 21 days, I made my first $1,000 helping others improve their digital art in Affinity Photo – and later built The Vanlife Network to connect and support like-minded travellers on the road. Now I work completely on my own terms and do what I love while enjoying my freedom. Couldn’t be more grateful ❤️

Yesterday I arrived at a new free camper spot in Vidreres, Spain and in the evening I suddenly got a knock. It was an older Dutch man. He had seen that I was Dutch too, and warned me to make sure to securely close my camper because the previous night some campers had been broken into. 👇 Would you stay or leave?

We built this open vanlife community so vanlifers, RV travelers, overlanders, and everyone enjoying life on the road can connect, share tips, and feel part of a bigger road family — no matter where you're parked. Unlike FB groups, there are no ads, no trolls, and no algorithm hiding your posts. Everything stays organized, searchable, and easy to find — so you can actually keep track of the good stuff. ✌️ 👇 START HERE: 1. Introduce yourself – Who you are, what you travel in, and why you love vanlife. (+1 for pics!) 2. Engage – Find 3 posts or comments from others and reply with something real and thoughtful. This is YOUR community — the more you share, the warmer the fire gets. So pull up a chair, roast a virtual marshmallow, and say hi. 🔥 The road is always better with good company. ❤️ — Rens P.S. If you ever feel ready to meet your road family for real, we can't wait to welcome you into The Vanlife Network! 🔥
