And, she is yellow, the happiest colour ever!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were some practical reasons as well though, for her age and price she had really, really low miles compared to anything else we could find. She had just 17,000 miles, and for the same price a sprinter vans all had 200,000 miles. As well as that, being an older van the mechanics of it are really simple compared to modern vans so any problems should be much cheaper and easier to fix!

We are connected to nature and are outdoors almost all of the time. We get to hike and climb mountains, cycle around cities and towns or get to surf everyday. But, our favourite thing about living in a van though is the other people who live vanlife. We\u2019re part of a massive, community who are all so kind and generous and that makes it the best experience (we know it sounds cheesy but it is true) We have had so many vanlife magic moments, like the time @motoroaming gave us a great kitchen gadget called a spiraliser, or when @thesaltyroamers who never having met us, invited us to a pizza party in Portugal and have become great friends since, or a party we had in the van with three other groups of vanlifers, they are all memorable moments we will take with us through life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-18f298s-a736fe6423ec114d0eb1caf0a793748f\">\n.flex_column.av-18f298s-a736fe6423ec114d0eb1caf0a793748f{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-18f298s-a736fe6423ec114d0eb1caf0a793748f av_one_full  avia-builder-el-57  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     id=\"info\"  ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kbexgxyx-c3e9ec7ac9d0edcd9d1432e0e8f43a71\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kbexgxyx-c3e9ec7ac9d0edcd9d1432e0e8f43a71{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-kbexgxyx-c3e9ec7ac9d0edcd9d1432e0e8f43a71 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kbexgxyx-c3e9ec7ac9d0edcd9d1432e0e8f43a71 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"monatlich\"  class='av-special-heading av-kbexgxyx-c3e9ec7ac9d0edcd9d1432e0e8f43a71 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-58  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  >How much money do you spend in a month (roughly)?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k7avgvbg-dd38ac76aef020a98665cc9c30f97993' ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each month is different but we have found we spend a lot less now than when we started, and we budgeted \u00a3500 this month and actually spent less!
