#Vanlife: Why More and More People Choose to Live in Cars
The elder generations’ biggest fears have become the dreams of the young
Vanlife is becoming more and more popular, especially with young people, who are drawn towards giving up their four walls in exchange for four wheels. While homelessness once was the biggest fear of older generations, it’s starting to become a dream of the generations of now.
Saying “If you don’t work harder you’ll be sleeping in a car under the bridge” used to be a way of parents to scare their children into studying more.
Nowadays many would simply ask: “Which bridge?”
Freedom
Vanlife is freedom. You are bound to nowhere, can go wherever you want, do whatever you choose and be whoever you want to be there. You could reinvent yourself in a heartbeat and be someone else every day.
What used to be almost impossible for our parents and grandparents has become a possibility: Combining work and travel.
The dream of becoming a digital nomad, traveling the world full time and exploring all there is to explore while doing compelling work, all while saving money does indeed sound great.
