That’s the question. I am not very social so I never really talk to other people in their vans, but I get curious about their experience. Here being anonymous seems ok to ask.

I live in one, in case it’s not clear. I know there’s a lot of people who do the same so maybe there’s someone here. Probably not but it’s worth a try. There used to be a van dwellers community on reddit, but mostly americans and instagram people.

    Whelp, I’m in the US.

    Have lived in a pickup (a little old 90’s toyota-great truck), a school bus, a stepvan, on the back of a bicycle, and now a school bus again.

    There were a couple apartments and a few warehouses smattered between them.

    I’d love to visit Australia someday, met some funny fuckers from there.

    I do think the US lends itself pretty well to living in vehicles, as much as it is shunned. As long as you keep moving and present cleanly, nobody generally has a clue. But all our infrastructure is built for vehicles, and it’s just…super easy nowadays, honestly.

    Like I have constant power and internet. Garbage and wastewater is as simple as stopping for fuel.

    Amazon dropboxes for buying bullshit online.

    Homeless? Fuck no. I built this into my home. The state just wants me to have an address so they can send the tax man and cops in the door. Fuck them
