Today we’re diving into the “van life” trend that has picked up steam in the U.S. over the past year. Large numbers of people have been traveling around the country in camper vans and RVs. Some have even decided to ditch their apartments or houses altogether to make “van life” their new full-time reality.
We’ll hear from Deborah Kane. She owns a camper van rental service called GoCamp and says business has been busier than ever.
But first, we’re talking to Kristin Hanes. She has been living in different vehicles, as well as a sailboat, for the last six years. She runs “The Wayward Home,” a website filled with advice for living more simply on the road.
