Thank you for sharing this story! I have not lived in a van but moved abroad many times in my life (from Germany to the States to Wales to Canada, back to Germany, Portugal for a short time and back to Germany). I am currently pregnant with my first child but itching to move abroad again. Most people would probably raise their eyebrows and think that this is the worst time ever to move - with a soon to be newborn or young child. Stories like this encourage me that there are many people out there who make this lifestyle work with children. Children don't have to take a way from the experience, in fact they can enrich and already so rich experience even more!

I don't have kids myself, but there are definitely so many stories of people with kids out there living life the way they want it. The off-grid voices interview that is coming out this week Wednesday features the story of Luke Miller who is living off the grid with his two young kids! I would assume it takes a whole lot more prep, but it's definitely not impossible 😊

Amazing! I will keep my eyes peeled for that :)

There are so many takeaways from this article.

I appreciate the intimacy of living in such a small space and the sense of possibility that comes from not planning too far ahead.

The freedom to let go of control is a lesson I’m sure many of us could benefit from.

Thank you for sharing Sophie & Lindsay!

100 words is a lot, isn’t it? I’ve no idea why I chose that number. It’s good to read through your list Sophie; thanks for the mention.
