Inspirational. We’re a married couple in our early 50s. Fed up with the stress and struggle of keeping a house, paying bills and working to exhaustion. We’ve bought a Mwb sprinter which we use a lot. But we’re selling the house and stepping into the unknown ❤

[@motorhomemavericks1]

Go for it! We're in our 50s - best thing we've ever done. Roam all over the country -go back and see the grandkids every few months

Wauw, that sounds wonderful. I wish you well, and hope you both will have a great adventure in your new life. Safe travel 🍀

This couple totally vibe. (it's my weekend - and I've already got 4 fluffing calls from work already). It seems that the Corporate world wants to "own" you. To paraphrase Steven Hugues, talking about work: "it's like slavery, but you gotta provide your own food and accommodation". This couple are totally onto it. Bless them and their life on the road 😊😊😊😊😊😊

You guys have given me faith. I’ve been living in my van for 6 months ( with the luxury of my sisters garage which I converted into a basic living space as back up and storage) ) after 30 yrs with “the one” life suddenly came to a fork in the road and I lost her, my bungalow and what I thought was my life. 6 moths later I’m healing…Im Happy being me, but always wondered if there was anyone out there who had the same outlook, experiences as me. I partly thought this is how I will live, without anyone, and don’t get me wrong if I coiled off this planet tomorrow, I’m content and happy, but knowing out there, in this vast world, I could find companionship with likeminded souls and meet amazing people like yourselves….its humbling and hopeful. This is why liveration is thee best channel out there. You meet people like us….its thee most relatable thing on social media. I thank you for this, I really do.

[@nonlostsouls]

Completely agree with you, it’s a great community, take care of yourself ☯️

@@nonlostsouls thank you guys x

[@angelinasouren]

If you didn't have your sister's place, what would you do? How would you solve that? Do you also get your postal mail at her address and use the address for HMRC, NHS, bank account etc?

[@jasonwinsley1229]

@@angelinasouren hi Angie I honestly don’t know! I’m still learning! At the time I thought I knew what I was doing, but then like you say, parcels, NHS and even a legal address for insurance etc…having my sister bailing me out blessed me with being about to take step at a time. For starters I wanted a smaller van as she was always going to be my daily driver, and parking, tiny Norfolk roads lends itself to something like a vw (which I have) so storage was always on the cards. I just would have rented a space. I foresee a future where I gradually become fully self sufficient, but in the chaos of life changing so rapidly and sudden, my sister really became a savour. Because of her, I was about to tread gradually instead of stamping, breaking the habits and lifestyle of 54 yrs of living a certain way. The future has definitely become more interesting. And I hope as long as my health and new found optimism prevails, that I can perfect this life as best as I can.

Good for you two, great that you’ve found your freedom. Fully agree about the no overnight parking bollocks. It should just be a massive fine for littering or proper anti social behaviour and let the good people live a good life

[@Michael-re3ih]

Absolutely love living in my van I have done for years

[@kimmygee8741]

Love it. Love their attitude and positivity. I totally get it. We've all been conditioned to think we need stuff, when in truth we really don't need much at all. I now only work part time for myself and earn very little, but i can survive quite easily and i still pay a mortgage. In the past i've been crap with money and squandered it on nonsense. Biggest regret, not getting rid of my only debt and moving out into more of an open natural space. I wish this couple all the luck in the world ❤️

[@PowerhouseMiniatures]

Half of the van life appeal is because society is broken.. I totally get it and I totally agree, I'm not ready for vanlife yet (extremely tall, overweight meaning vans are not comfortable or safe) but I'm getting desperately unhappy with being forced to life like this to pay for someone else.. If its not vanlife it'll be something else, it's unacceptable but you can't influence politics so 🤷‍♀️

[@jeromevanlife]

Awesome couple!!

[@grantmail4112]

Many of the people you see doing these van lifes still have their property (either renting it out or just gaining value sitting there or sold up and have a massive pot of savings invested ) or have a partner with a house thats in the background.. in an emergency if they fancy a few days a week in a house with heating and a nice bed.. not many have gone for it 100%.. you guys may be the only ones I have seen so far that dont have anything to fall back on.

I agree with everything you both said ,I would love to live like this eventually just for the fact you can wake up and decide you want to go here or there I personally think that's something to appreciate on its own after all if you mortgage a house your then stuck to that for at least 20 years so you work to pay bills I want to work to be able to live a happy ish life and then have more time to do things I enjoy but be comfortable at the same time it's definitely not a easier way of life but can be cheaper and more rewarding with the different views you can wake up to ☮️🙏

[@jedics1]

TIme is the most valuable thing any of us will ever own and once you realise that it changes how you view society and your place in it, I certainly won't be wishing I had worked more on my death bed. Even doing nothing is a better use of time than most of the things our civilization would have you do with it and lets face it, capitalism isn't exactly an authority on anything but how to profit from people and planet. Im 5 years into living in my build and I will never live in a house again it has worked out so well....
