Today is going to be a little different.
Today, we embrace our inner corny.
Most of my van life content is practical, pragmatic, at times instructional.
This post is different.
This post is pure hype.
Because I am fully, 100% hyped about the nomadic lifestyle I currently lead (well, 90%. There’s always gonna be tougher days, whatever you do)…and if you’ve decided van life is – or might be – right for you, then you should be hyped to!
So, to inspire, to motivate, to energize, rouse and otherwise persuade you (and maybe even make you laugh once or twice), here are my very own original, unseen before van life quotes.
I hope you enjoy, and if you do, feel free to share.
Unless of course you’re a business, planning to stick my quotes on a mug, bag, commemorative tea towel or indeed your own van life blog. In that case kindly email me to request written permission (because honey, nobody likes a thief ^_^ ).

Fun fact: of all the places I’ve been, humble France – the land of cheese, wine, glorious rolling greenery and poppy fields – is my absolute favorite van life location of them all.

Go before everybody else clocks on.
