After about seven years into my marketing career, I decided the 9-5 corporate lifestyle wasn\u2019t for me. I had a deep-rooted feeling that I had more to explore about the world and myself. I quit my job, packed up my things, purchased a one-way ticket to Canada to pick up the van of my choice, then drove it back to the US and spent the next five months building it out. I had lots of help from my parents, and finally hit the road to live full-time van life this past May 2020! I\u2019ve now been on the road for about four months, exploring the Pacific Northwest in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 989px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k7avhpzq-22a3f99cdf484bf413a30952e6d4ecbc av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-custom-transform'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-21907 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-21907 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon.jpg\" alt='' title='Ford Econoline 250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon'  height=\"1802\" width=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon-1030x906.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon-768x676.jpg 768w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon-1536x1352.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon-1500x1320.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-Bend-Oregon-705x620.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/p>\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-17  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-kfs4gjuw-a5d6abe41bf741004738758df621f640\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kfs4gjuw-a5d6abe41bf741004738758df621f640{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-kfs4gjuw-a5d6abe41bf741004738758df621f640 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kfs4gjuw-a5d6abe41bf741004738758df621f640 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"pro_contra\"  class='av-special-heading av-kfs4gjuw-a5d6abe41bf741004738758df621f640 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-18  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  >What drew you to travel and live in a van?<\/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;\">I really love the element of the unknown. Whether that comes in the form of going on a hike and not knowing what\u2019s around the trail corner, or living in a van and not knowing where I\u2019m going to sleep that night&#8230;I like keeping things interesting! I\u2019ve always loved traveling and have spent time in places like Spain, China, and Thailand&#8230;but they were all trips that eventually had to end. With van life, I don\u2019t have to put an end on this trip. I already carry my home with me so I don\u2019t have to \u201cgo back home\u201d at the end of the day. Don\u2019t get me wrong, sometimes I\u2019d like nothing more than to be in a real home (in a real bed, with a real shower) but once I get those things, I like being able to appreciate them so much more, instead of taking them for granted.\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-20  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-w14tch-a08c4d5ca08c93ce75edd5205eb63527\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-w14tch-a08c4d5ca08c93ce75edd5205eb63527{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-w14tch-a08c4d5ca08c93ce75edd5205eb63527 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-w14tch-a08c4d5ca08c93ce75edd5205eb63527 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"pro_contra\"  class='av-special-heading av-w14tch-a08c4d5ca08c93ce75edd5205eb63527 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-21  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  >What kind of van do you own and why did you choose this kind of van?<\/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;\">I own a 1999 Ford E250 that used to be a hotel shuttle bus! It was actually bought many years ago by another traveling couple that built it out to live in. Then, it was passed on to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">two<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more road travelers until it was sold to me. I originally bought it because it was inexpensive and already built-out. This was important because I wasn\u2019t sure how hard I wanted to commit to van life; if I ended up not liking it, I didn\u2019t want to spend all my savings on a really expensive van. I also wanted it built out because I didn\u2019t want to build it out myself. But, after having my dad look at the van from a safety perspective, we ended up deciding to gut it and rebuild it out anyway. The build it came with was very minimal and not really suited for the lifestyle I wanted, and there were some safety concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 989px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k7avhpzq-a03ce6d85731f7e064d031f9dc01a279 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-custom-transform'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-21916 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-21916 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van.jpg\" alt='Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van' title='Ford Econoline 250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van'  height=\"1368\" width=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van-1500x1002.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-galena-idaho-fog-van-705x471.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/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-24  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-av_heading-3a920b32346e856d7ee0d75794f3c347\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-3a920b32346e856d7ee0d75794f3c347{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-3a920b32346e856d7ee0d75794f3c347 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-3a920b32346e856d7ee0d75794f3c347 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"pro_contra\"  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-3a920b32346e856d7ee0d75794f3c347 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-25  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  >Is the interior made by yourself or did you get a carpenter?<\/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;\">Myself, with lots of help from my dad.

It definitely made things more difficult in general, but I like to think that I\u2019ll be that much \u201cstronger\u201d on the road for it. For example, I was looking forward to making other van friends at van gatherings, but they have all been cancelled. I had also been relying on coffee shops for free wifi and gyms for showers. But for the first few months of van life, I had neither of those things. So I spent many hot afternoons sitting in my van in a Mcdonald\u2019s parking lot because their free wifi was accessible from the parking lot. And I was showering a lot less, especially if I was in the city where there was no privacy for an outdoor shower. I\u2019ve also run into closed campgrounds, national parks and public bathrooms. While none of these things has \u201cruined\u201d a day for me, it just makes it more difficult and unpredictable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794\">\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 989px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n.avia-image-container.av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794 .avia-image-container-inner{\ntransform:scale3d( 1, 1, 1 ) skew( 0, 0 ) translate3d( 0, 0, 0 );\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-k7avhpzq-191bdfd7f4bda330dc2bbea344e8b794 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-58  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-custom-transform'  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-21928 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-21928 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-scaled.jpg\" alt='Ford Econoline 250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset' title='Ford Econoline 250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset'  height=\"708\" width=\"1060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-scaled.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-1030x688.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/passport-diary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Ford-Econoline-250-camper-wohmobil-van-conversion-idaho-sunset-705x471.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/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-59  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-kfs4lwhm-ca17b90ad82f348424d05272119a7c74\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kfs4lwhm-ca17b90ad82f348424d05272119a7c74{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-kfs4lwhm-ca17b90ad82f348424d05272119a7c74 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kfs4lwhm-ca17b90ad82f348424d05272119a7c74 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"pro_contra\"  class='av-special-heading av-kfs4lwhm-ca17b90ad82f348424d05272119a7c74 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-60  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  av-linked-heading'><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  >What makes travelling and living in a van such a great experience?<\/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;\">For me, it\u2019s the time you get with yourself.

All the time! Sure vanlife can save you lots of money in the long-run, but this unpredictable lifestyle can sometimes lead to unexpected costs.
