Van Life Ft. Kate and Luke

Who hasn't wanted to say "screw it I'm living in a van" after this year. Well in this episode we talk about the realities of living in a van! Not the stuff you see on your Instagram or Tik Tok of influencers sipping coffee in tricked out Mercedes sprinter van, but the real deal. Van life is awesome, you get to live somewhere different any time you want and take your whole house with you. However, travelling with friends or alone, there is a lot that  goes into life on the road. We are lucky enough to have a few friends that did just that. Luke and Kate join us for a tell all on their van life they have lived over the past few years. We're going to cover:

  What is it like to travel and live in a van?

  How do you keep up with sleep, hygiene and sanity when living in a moving box?

  Best part of van life?
 
  Worst part of van life?
