Thinking About Van Life? What to Know About Vehicle Conversions, Remote Work, and Daily Life on the Road #192
If you’ve been eyeing van life content but are still wondering how people really do it, this one’s for you.
For the last five years, Fiorella and her husband have lived full-time on the road in not one but two self-converted vehicles. They’ve road-tripped through 40+ states, explored more than 30 national parks, and turned a fire investigation truck into a fully off-grid home on wheels. Fiorella also works remotely as a content marketing specialist for RVshare, giving her a front-row seat to both sides of the mobile lifestyle.
In this episode, host Kim Anderson sits down with Fiorella to talk about all the practical, unexpected, and magical parts of van life. Whether you’re van-life curious, ready to convert your own vehicle, or just love hearing how people design unconventional live, they’ve got stories and insight for you.
You’ll hear what it really takes to live on the road full-time, how to decide what kind of vehicle and layout might work best for your lifestyle, and what they’ve learned the hard way over two conversions.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to choose a vehicle and avoid the biggest first-timer mistakes
- Which features they now consider non-negotiable after years of living on the road
- How to find those off-the-beaten-path places that make van life truly magical
If you're dreaming of a more flexible life or just want to know if you could ever make this work, this episode is for you.
