Book excerpt: With hundreds of funky vehicles, awe-inspiring landscapes, and cleverly designed interiors in tiny spaces, Van Life is perfect for anyone who dreams about living on the open road. More and more people of all generations--from millennials to baby boomers--are taking a break from conventional life for the freedom, tranquility, and adventure of being on the road and living in a converted vintage truck, camper, or van. One of these van-dwellers, Foster Huntington, created the #vanlife hashtag as he chronicled his adventures of living in a van and driving it across the country. He tapped into a community of like-minded individuals looking to explore nature at their own pace and live a debt-free lifestyle. Van Life showcases the best crowd-sources photographs from Foster's social media accounts--many of which have never been posted or seen before. Organized into sections like Volkswagen vans, American vans, converted vans, school buses, and more, the selection of photos includes shots of the unique vehicles and the beautiful locations they've been parked. From stunning beaches to dramatic mountains and picturesque forests, and with fully designed interiors with kitchens and sleeping quarters, this stunning array of life-on-the-road-possibilities might just be enough to get you to pack up your things and hit the highway. Also included are informative and topical interviews with solo travelers, couples, and families who are living this new American dream.

"People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book." —Rebecca Solnit From the beet fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads. Nomadland tells a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy—one which foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, it celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope.

This book will take you from daydreaming about van life as you sit at your desk counting down the days until your next vacation, to living a dream life of endless travel, adventure, and the great outdoors. Living in a van is the most economical way to travel and there are so many ways to make it sustainable long term. Working as an executive assistant in New York City, I never dreamed I would quit my high-paying corporate job to live in a van down by the river. That was until I met Frankie, a wanderlust with a big heart who was ready to explore the world and wanted me by his side. With his dream and my organization skills, a year later we had sold everything we owned, gave notice on our apartment, moved into our self-converted van and hit the road. 20,000+ miles later, through so much trial and error, we are experts at living a nomadic life. We share our successes, struggles and setbacks weekly on our YouTube channel and interview other thriving nomads on our podcast (FnA Van Life). We've traveled pre and post-pandemic so can share how life on the road has changed, but how it is still the best way to live and travel that we've ever found. First, I'll guide you through the planning stages of van life. Things you can work on while you're still at your job like defining your dreams, downsizing, finding your rig, and building a tiny home on wheels. Then we'll hit the road and all your burning questions about where to sleep, how to camp for free, where to get internet, how to earn money, and so much more will be answered in detail with real-life examples from my own travels and experiences living a nomadic life. If you want to take the leap into van life but need some practical advice about the realities of living on the road, this is the book for you. With so many updates for a post-pandemic world, this guide will have you on the road making smart decisions about your safety, finances, and of course, having so much fun and adventure your friends will be wishing they lived in a van too.
