Why make a van into your home?
I probably don’t need to convince you – just look at my blog and life from the past two years. Moving in to a van was absolutely the best thing I’ve ever done. Here are some reasons why:
- You pay no rent
- You can live anywhere you like
- You’re closer to nature but still with home comforts
- You can live independently of the grid – no electricity or gas bills
- You’ll meet amazing people and experience the magic of living on the road
- Nothing beats the freedom of having your home on wheels
- Travel and live for cheap
- This will be a home that you can truly call your own
My van conversion (what this book is based on) has been featured all over the world, from national press in England, major news websites in the far easy and television in North America. Now I’m ready to share every detail of how I did it, so you can do something very similar. It’s all right here, as an instant download, in this one book.
