What Urban Van Life Actually Looks Like in 2026

This week I spend some time van life-ing in one of America's most unique cities. I stealth camp on the streets in different neighborhoods, deal with summer heat, and even take a quick break from the city to enjoy some waves in Grand Isle. It was great to return to New Orleans and really spend some time there. This is a glimpse of what urban van life in 2026 is really like. Take your personal data back with Incogni!
