Are distant places calling your name? Do the roads beckon you with tales of adventure and promises of new experiences?
Many of us yearn for the life of hope and freedom that van dwelling provides. On the other hand, not so many of us know the first thing about where to get started, or what to do next.
Author Kristine Hudson is an experienced van lifer who learned all of the lessons the hard way. Giving up a 9-5 office job and a suburban home on a whim, she and her husband Brad did nearly everything wrong in their first year of van living.
