My mind is always whirling. Almost always about travel. For now I think I have a vague route planned. Boy, that sounds loosey goosey doesn't it?

#vanlife #solovanlife
A long awaited part two of how the most stressful day of my life went. Let’s just say things went from bad to worse.
Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, things seemed to go from bad to worse. Harsh reminder that people are not always kind or compassionate.

READ MORE 👇🏼 5 things I hate about full-time vanlife
After five years of living full-time in a camper, there are definitely a few things I still struggle with.
1. Loneliness
You’re alone. A LOT. Vanlife isn’t like backpacking, where you automatically meet people in hostels or on tours. If I want to see people, I usually have to actively look for them, make plans or drive somewhere to meet them. Most days on the road, it’s just me and Ollie. And although I really enjoy being alone, sometimes it gets lonely.
2. Everything is new, all the time
A new place, new roads, a new supermarket, figuring out where to sleep, where to get water… Every few days you have to understand your surroundings all over again. Adventurous? Yes. Mentally exhausting sometimes? Also yes. Sometimes I just want to know where the bloody bread is. 😂
3. You’re pretty vulnerable
Your camper is your vehicle AND your home. If it breaks down, you potentially lose both at once. Suddenly your house, bed, kitchen, transport and basically your entire life are sitting at a garage.
4. Heat ☀️
I actually love rain, cold weather and even snow in my camper. Heat is much harder. Especially with Ollie. I can’t just leave him in a hot camper, so during summer I’m constantly thinking about shade, temperatures and where we can safely stay. Sometimes the weather basically decides where I can go.
5. Feeling unsafe as a woman
Honestly, this happens much less than people might think. Most of the time I feel perfectly safe travelling alone. But you do have to stay aware of your surroundings. Sometimes it’s simply a guy staring at you for way too long next to your camper and that little voice in your head going: yep, we’re moving.
Funny enough, most of those uncomfortable situations happened in the Netherlands or other parts of Europe, never outside of Europe!
I still love living on the road. But five years of vanlife also taught me that freedom definitely has its annoying sides.
Which one would you struggle with most? 👇🏼

This is your sign to save your vans suspension 🚐👇🏽
AD | If you’re driving your home around you want to make sure it’s as stable as possible, especially on those dirt roads that lead to the best campsites.
Timbrens rear SES has kept my ride smooth for the past year and now I’m excited to get an even better ride with the front SES. With a super easy installation, proven effects, and no maintenance it’s really a no brainer!
Check out timbren.com/pages/camper-van to get a kit that fits your rig!
