Finishing Three Years of Full Time Van Life

[u/Nav-Tech]

After three incredible years of living full-time in my vans, I’ll sadly be closing this chapter of my life and moving back into an apartment. I was lucky enough to pour my heart and soul into two beautiful builds, and every adventure I had with them was unforgettable.

I recently received my dream job offer in NYC, so I’ll be leaving van life behind at the end of this month. Rigby, my current build, will carry me through until my two-day road trip in a sedan, (which will feel like such a downgrade).

I want to take a moment to thank this community. Being able to share my builds, experiences, and questions here has meant more than I can express. To the few of you I got to meet in person, it was amazing connecting with like-minded people.

Van life will always hold a special place in my heart, and I’ll be following along from my cramped NYC apartment as this incredible community continues to inspire me and make me a little jealous. Good luck to all of you, and if anyone ever needs advice on electrical, plumbing, or anything else, I have two builds under my belt and would be more than happy to help.

Wait... You are married to someone but instead of living in a house with them you are living in a van down by the river with a couple that wants to fuçk you?

I'm honestly not sure where to start here but something is not right.

*recently a couple, rings just for funsies. My partner and I finally got to a point where we are both in the same state so an apartment was the move.

You know that's kind of how marriage worked throughout 99% of human history for 95% of people. Outside of the West and/ or wealthy, it's still mostly like this. Just a few witnesses and a holy man in a field or in the woods. Badda-bing badda-boom, you're married.

That’s fantastic news, I’ll have to go tell the wife how much we’ve saved on catering (thank you)

Those two guys definitely want me though, I can see it in their eyes.
