‘Vanlife’ has sparked something in you hasn’t it? It’s peaked your interest, and brought you here, to us at Calico Campers.
So what is #VanLife, and is it for you? Well hopefully now we can explain a little bit more about what we believe the concept of ‘vanlife’ actually is, and you’ll leave knowing whether a campervan holiday- the ‘vanlife’ experience- is for you!
To us, ‘vanlife’ means freedom; freedom to hit the road with no idea where you’ll end up; freedom to pack light; freedom to be yourself and the freedom to enjoy each other’s company.
That doesn’t mean that you have to hit the road without an end destination in mind, it also doesn’t mean that you have to pack light (but trust us when we say it’s just more enjoyable and easier to do so). But what vanlife will naturally give you is that freedom to be yourself and to enjoy the company of whoever it is you’re with- or to enjoy your own company if you’re travelling solo!
So, do you want to know if #vanlife is for you? Try answering the below questions, and have a think about how the questions make you feel.
