Traveling around the world enriches a person like nothing else - submerging yourself in different cultures, meeting all kinds of people and witnessing the beauty of nature sure beats staying at home and scrolling your days away. However great life on the road might seem though, even a hardened voyager might get the feeling of homesickness at least once in a while. Home, together with all of its commodities like a long hot shower and home cooked meal, is our safe zone and when out adventuring you might be thousands of kilometers away from that security. So what to do if you want to have the best of both worlds - the homey feeling combined with never-ending adventures? Well, there's an answer, and it's called van life.
To put it all simply, van life lets you take your home together with you when traveling as your flat and your vehicle is one and the same. Most travel life preachers use an old van or a bus by converting the cargo zone into a tiny house with all the attributes you might need - a comfy bed, kitchenette and even a shower in some of them. Owning such a converted van eliminates the possible danger of homesickness, thus letting you enjoy your traveling hobby entirely. And there's nothing better than savoring the vast beauty of mountains, beaches, forests and deserts from your own back door. Exactly those extraordinary views are what we want to share with you this time, so we've combined an impressive list full of beautiful pictures taken straight from little houses on wheels.
So if you need more convincing that traveling in a converted van is the best way to do it, scroll down and check the gorgeous views that are sure to inspire your wanderlust. Don't forget to vote on the most spectacular voyage scenes and tell us what you think about it in comments!

Had a similar experience eating lunch in a wooded area on Mount Tam near Muir woods. There's something about those beautiful quiet peaceful creatures that makes us a better person for watching them.

These are gorgeous enough to want you to at least look into the van lifestyle. I suspect at least one of them was shopped, but I could be wrong.
