Sooooo...
I'm planning to move into a van and give vanlife a go.
Rent is too expensive for the damp, mouldy, pest-infested flat that I am currently renting, and the landlords do not give a shit about the tenants here. The general of cost of living here in the UK is too much and it gets worse every day, with warm spaces having to be created and food banks running on empty because we cannot afford to live.
I was absolutely against vanlife at first due to personal stuff, but now I'm all for it and the things I was worried about before aren't as scary to me now.
Yes, I know vanlife is absolutely not the beaches, gloriously sunny, pi, no problems crap that Instagrammers and most YouTubers sell. It's hard work, it's cramped, hard to find work sometimes, can be lonely, and repairs can be expensive, but it's nowhere near as expensive as renting a flat or living in a house and paying money to people who don't give a shit about the people at the bottom.
This is a new chapter in my life and I'm going to enjoy it and exist instead of being trapped and barely getting by.
