When and Where to Van Life

Deciding when and where to van life can be challenging, but for us it’s easier when we base it on activities we love and goals that we’ve set. We love all seasons, each of them come with their own activities. Whether its biking, kayaking, skiing or mountaineering, we enjoy warm summer activities almost as much as we do winter ones.

Before we quit our jobs, we knew that we both enjoyed skiing, but we were not able to spend much time doing it. Living in the South East, there aren’t too many opportunities to ski. Once we quit our jobs, one of our goals was to spend one to two seasons outwest skiing.  

This goal has become an obsession of ours. Backcountry skiing or ski mountaineering have become our favorite and primary adventure activity while we are on the road in our van. 

When we determined this goal, it made it easier for us to decide where to travel. 

Before you plan out your next adventure, think about these questions:

1. What is your favorite outdoor activity?
2. Where is somewhere that you haven’t been?
3. Who do you want to visit?

Once you answer these questions, you should be able to decide on a few travel goals and plan out your traveling more easily.
