Is UK Van life what it's cracked up to be? |

[@gabemore1766]

I live on my own in a council flat surrounded by the most despicable people! Abusive violent drug takers I suffer from social anxiety and I’ve had enough of living next to people with zero respect! I’m looking to get a van and just go

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

I feel your pain and I wish you all the best for a better life. Much respect- Kenny

[@jimjiminy5836]

[@vampiricpanda666]

Watching this at work on a Saturday overtime shift in a warehouse alone. Stuff like this really makes me contemplate existence. I'm 27, passed my driving test 2 months ago, now I'm just counting the days till I can afford to buy and do up a van. One life. Those words always stick in my mind. I love this video, but ohh did it hit me in the feels 😭

'Life's not a rehearsal, just get up and do it'. Great point by the bloke at 21:40 bit.

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

that van sticker you videoed "One life..." said it all and the people you interviewed were amazing, salt of the earth people. I wish them all well and thank you for posting the video. Much respect- Kenny

[@ADayintheUK]

Cheers Kenny, yeah totally agree, awesome people with powerful stories 🤟🏼

[@theprogrammerrolandmc3039]

@@ADayintheUK you have a bad egg in your video with a false name and the vehicle with a for sale in the window has a fake number plate V897FCT 27:42 unknown vehicle on dvla data base i checked this because i know who this person is and he is a liar he lied to you about who he is and what he has done.

What you save in rent you need to use to buy land. Small plots all over the place. Then share the plots your not using. Follow the sun. Forage the sea. Live free.

In the early 90s lived in a 2 bed council flat ridden with mould my child suffered health issues so left to live van life for her safety council wasn't bothered, back then we were labelled new age travellers, and treated like criminals, but i can honestly say that was the happiest I've ever been our community was so secure and supportive unfortunately the harassment was to frightening for my child to continue this life style, but living with the minimum was absolutely amazing for me personally electrics was run from a lorry battery, cooking was done on a woodburner a simpler life that required hard work for lifes necessaries, I'm now in my 50s and having brought up my family and itching to go back to the life i was happiest living 😊

Life is short. Once you come to realize that. You appreciate ppl around you who love and support you is the most precious thing in the world. Not material things which you can’t take with you, once your journey ends.

[@diannel4698]

Brilliant video, I really enjoyed your interviews and good questions asked, questions I've got myself as a wannabe full time van lifer.

[@ADayintheUK]

Much appreciated Dianne, glad you enjoyed the vid. Let me know if you ever go full time 🤟🏼

[@chrism2966]

I hope this helps some folk: I am a thousand years old. Long retired. I have had a family, grand kids, friends and pets and several homes and cars over the years. The only things that matter are the people in your life, and your pets if you have any. A house, a car, expensive clothes are totally unnecessary in your life, but once you have them, you end up working all the time to maintain that lifestyle. I have done that and I am now without any of the big material things because I realised - they mean nothing. Your family and friends, your pets and your thoughts and plans are all you need to love a truly happy life. The idea of wealth and riches is not for us all, and unless that really drives you, find a better way. There is always a better way for you. Always.

Yep, had my 4th prostate operation yesterday not a pleasant experience and it takes werks to recover. Look after your prostate lads.

[@ADayintheUK]
