“Just the freedom of not having to worry about catching a flight, going through security, all the things that come along with that.” – David

“... but when I'm driving and I don't have anywhere to be, I love just turning offroads. I have no idea where they go and just see where they go. Because it's oftentimes, those moments, that you'll find things that you never expected you'd find.” – David

“ And what a lot of people who are living the van life full time, they're realizing, "I don't need 25 shirts. I don't need 8 pairs of shoes. I don't need all this stuff." And that is allowing people to simplify their lives and get more connected with the things that matter most in daily life. And that's just your connection with the people you care about and the people with the earth that you live on.” – David
