Tonight was a special one — our first virtual meetup call outside of The Vanlife Network, open to anyone interested in vanlife. And honestly? It felt amazing to see so many new faces, future vanlifers, and road veterans all hanging out together. We had people calling in from Spain, Portugal, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium — even a few who aren’t in vans yet but are already dreaming about hitting the road. From the first minutes it had that classic campfire vibe: relaxed, curious, a little chaotic, and full of good laughs. We opened with everyone sharing where they were and how they live on the road. From high-tech heated vans to military trucks, to tiny home conversions held together by zip ties. And a few people still living stationary lives but mentally on the road! A few moments that stood out: - Stories from long-term vanlifers—5+ years on the road!—mixed with total beginners asking their first big questions. - Travel tips across Europe: Spain’s coastline, Portugal’s hidden gems, and why the Camino keeps pulling people back. - The “coffee cup on the dashboard” trick to meet other vanlifers… which then escalated into testing pineapples as a signal. (We’re all waiting for the field report on that one.) - Discussions about boondocking, wild camping, moochdocking, and even a Dutch network where people offer up their driveways for free overnight stays. - Portugal’s €2 wine somehow turned into a serious plan for a TVLC Christmas Wine Tasting. - A few running and hiking goals were shared—plus a couple of injured Achilles tendons and broken diesel heaters reminding us why we bond so well. - And of course the usual van chaos: broken locks, heater failures, repairs, auctions, recycling struggles… the full lifestyle package. - We wrapped up chatting about holiday plans, meetups, and the growing idea of doing open digital campfires more often to help new people find their tribe. It was relaxed, funny, and surprisingly heartwarming. Thanks to everyone who hopped on—even for a few minutes. These calls always remind me why community matters. ❤️

And tomorrow, you can join too! We just wrapped up an amazing Digital Campfire inside TVLC — 17 people at the peak, deep conversations, lots of laughs… and even a beautiful little live concert from San. 🥹🔥 It really hit me again how rare this is. So many of us are introverts. So many of us travel solo. And on the road, it can be surprisingly hard to meet people who “get it.” But these calls — twice a week — somehow make it easy. You show up, and suddenly you’re surrounded by vanlifers who think like you, live like you, and actually want to connect.That’s how many of us made our closest vanlife friends. Normally, these Digital Campfires are for paid members only… But tomorrow, we’re opening the doors. You are invited to join our '🔥 Virtual Open Campfire' and feel free to invite your vanlife friends too! If you’ve ever wondered what happens inside The Vanlife Network, or if you’ve been craving connection on the road, this is the perfect chance. 📅 Date: 3 December 2025 🕗 Time: 20:00 CET (click here for your local time) 📍 Location: Zoom 👇 Here's the link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84210986067?pwd=eY1t35avqYY4CNOF2BApxYgmU3JBWR.1 Come hang out, say hi, listen in, or jump into the conversation — no pressure, no expectations. Just good people around a virtual fire. Would be amazing to see you there. ❤️ — Rens

Most vanlifers have ONE goal: Vanlife Freedom. The freedom to stay on the road without worrying about burning savings. But they struggle finding a remote job, monetizing a YouTube channel, becoming an influencer, freelancing, selling prints or feet pics... ...just kidding guys (maybe). The problem with all these options is simple: - finding work you actually enjoy is hard - building an audience takes forever - you’re competing with millions of creators - and the income is unpredictable And without remote income, it’s only a matter of time before the savings run out. But what if you could earn online income from something you're already passionate about and good at? That's why I designed the Vanlife Freedom™ System It's the exact system I used to monetize my passion, earn $1,000 in my first month on Skool and built two top-1% communities — without relying on algorithms or juggling a dozen different tools. And never had to work for a "normal job" ever since. A simple 3-step system: 1. Vanlife Freedom™ Foundation – Define the offer + Set up Skool 2. Vanlife Freedom™ Engine – Attract the right members 3. Vanlife Freedom™ Growth – Create income systems that keep you on the road This is superior because you’re building a real community business — something not threatened by AI, with infinite income potential, using Skool + social media + simple outreach to earn your first $1,000 in 90 days. Stop burning through your savings hoping something eventually works. Start building a Skool community that fuels your passion and supports your vanlife freedom. 👇 Want to know more?

Do you feel like you're burning through your savings with no clear path to earning online income on the road? To help you, I'm launching a coaching program to help 5 vanlifers earn their first $1,000 on Skool with the Vanlife Freedom™ Blueprint. I've generated $80k as online entrepreneur from the road, earned $10k+ on Skool, and built two top 1% communities. You'll get: - 1:1 coaching to find your niche + build your offer and Skool community the right way - Weekly accountability so you actually stay consistent and make progress - The exact Skool + social media + outreach system I used to earn my first $1k in my first month on Skool For now, I'm only accepting 5 people because I want to give each vanlifer the personal attention they deserve to actually get results. 3 of spots are already taken. To keep quality high, it is application only. Do not apply if you're not serious. I have 13,5k+ YouTube subscribers, 2k+ Instagram followers, and two vanlife Skool communities. This will sell out fast. Click here to apply. Talk soon!
