With the rise of working remotely and the sense of freedom that comes with it, more people than ever are taking the road less traveled and are choosing to explore the world off-grid in a van. Join today’s podcast guests Alex Welsh and Pat Bruns of Yama Vans as we discuss all things van life, from part-time adventuring to full-time living and everything in between.
At its core, the transition to van life is about becoming a minimalist; realizing that we don’t need to be surrounded by material objects in order to live or travel happily. Long gone are the days of hitting the road in a gas-guzzling RV packed full of creature comforts, and here to stay are the ideas of minimalist living, conscious consumption, and the freedom to go anywhere in the world with ease. Listen in as Alex and Pat share their thoughts on these topics and others, such as the rising popularity of van life and how Yama Vans works closely with their clients to create the perfect balance between comfort and functionality.
