308 Pics From ‘Project Van Life’ Instagram That Will Make You Wanna Quit Your Job And Travel The World
By committing to the van movement, people are making major life decisions. Quitting jobs. Cancelling leases. Emptying their parents' bank accounts. Everything in exchange for a nomadic #VanLife on four wheels. Documenting the pretty side of their daily adventures, Instagram account @project.vanlife is sharing their stories through dreamy photos.
Of course, like every life path, this one has it's ups and downs as well. What about that endless WIFI? Or that dishwasher? Putting your wanderlust in charge of your life has its toll. If you are willing, however, to endure a surprise breakdown of your mobile home hundreds of miles away from civilization in the pouring rain, maybe showering in a Starbucks bathroom isn't that bad either? Scroll down to meet #VanLife and upvote its most precious moments.

I love that they left the tree there. But I bet a few of the 'mountain bike on the roof rack' people don't...

Looks great, but you can't drive like that. The first time you stop the car the monitor will drop and break. And it would be a lot of work to rearrange all the stuff before and after driving. So that's a van for a picture, but never one for the reality.

Ironic to post that with a really easy looking road, which would mean that the destination is awful.

Yeah, the background is a picture of clouds above Ho Chi Minh city, in Vietnam. It was taken by Kien Do, and the van and road was photoshopped in.

Agreed. This is about as rough as I'd want to get. Nobody ever shows the bugs, heat, cold, grunginess, canned food or other downsides. Plus you've got to have some money coming from somewhere. Don't want to be negative but for most people, myself included, it's a better dream then a reality.

If you look closely you see that the wood is not on the fire, it is being built as a small reflective screen that also dries it. This is a common practice, especially in cold climates.

That's a ton of wood for one fire. Maybe he is going to stay there for a long time.

At most, they make sure to always drive through well leveled roads and highways.

These are great photos, and I'm sure they had great experiences...but, to be honest, the only thing that would "inspire me to quit my job and hit the road" would be winning the lottery
lindsaymad2000 7 years ago
It's quite cheap... we live in an rv and it's MUCH cheaper than a house or apartment. I'm still a minor so I live with my mom. she's retired so we are using the retirement fund and money from selling our house. I know alot of people that live on the road and they do all kinds of jobs. Such as, over the phone nurse, writer, blogger, artist, editor, anything in web design, furniture sales, military. It all depends on the person but there are ways! Even if just siting in one place working for 6 months then traveling for 6, but it's much much cheaper than one might think.

Nothing about this makes me want to quit my job, sell my house, and take that show on the road. Really cool pics but it's just not for everyone.
