First, you commit to van life.
Then, you pick out your vehicle and start the process of creating your ultimate home on wheels.
You put the key in the ignition, wave good-bye to stationary life, and head on down the road.
You may not be sure what to pack for your new lifestyle. After all, who knows what lies ahead in destinations unknown?
Author Kristine Hudson is a voice of reason from the unknown. As a "been there, done that" van dweller, she has some notes to share with those who are drawn to the nomadic lifestyle. Before you hit the road, think about the following:
✓ Have you considered what you'll do if you get sick on the road?
✓ Do you know what to pack in case of emergencies?
✓ What thought have you given towards meals?
✓ Are you ready to face the barrage of new insects, pollens, wildlife, and scenarios that await you?
If you're worried there's something you haven't thought of when preparing for life on the road...
If you're not sure what to do about doctor's appointments, dental care, and prescriptions while you're away from home...
If you think you'll just "take care of it" whenever an emergency pops up...
