How Everyone Affords Van Life (The Truth No One Talks About)

Have you ever wondered how people afford van life? As a couple traveling full-time across Europe in our self-converted camper van, this is one of the questions we get asked the most.   / rollinghome   In this video, we talk about the real cost of van life, the biggest misconceptions about life on the road, and the different ways people make this lifestyle possible. We also share our own monthly budget, how we prepared for this journey, and what we've learned after visiting 12 countries so far. We're currently exploring Greece as part of our 30 Countries in 30 Weeks challenge while living full-time in our camper van.
