How to Live in a Van and Travel: Live Everywhere, be Free and Have Adventures in a Campervan or Motorhome - Your Home on Wheels

I have read about 10 books on van/rv living over the last two months. This one is by far the most well written and motivating. I hesitated about buying this book because it is written by a young man from the UK who lives in a van all around Europe, whereas I am a late-fifties woman planning on doing my van dwelling in the US. I found this book to be applicable no matter your age or location. So many of these self-published books are poorly written, but not this one. I felt that the author was sitting in my home speaking directly to me. I am definitely going to purchase his other book.

As a 66 year old female, I’ve had my van for about 8 months. A low roof 2017 ford transit extra long body. It took me a while to insulate and panel the inside and it doesn’t look all that great but it’s got me out of my rut. I have solar, a bed and a portapotty. What else could one want. I’ve already crossed the USA once with snow storms behind me all the way and can’t wait to do it again. Thanks for the extra encouragement

Not how to set up your van, but some good stuff about living in it and traveling around the world. Matt is funny and has a lot of insight into why live in a van, how to quit your job and how to make money on the road (kind of sketchy details, but you have to follow your own path).

This is an exceptional book.. From making the decision to hit the road, what is needed for success and comfort while full time van dwelling, and informing his readers of the pro’s and con’s of, seemingly, all considerations, he has produced a book that is well written and a joy to read!!

I enjoyed reading this book. Mike has a very relaxed, easy-a-read writing style. He is very passionate about van life and speaks from a position of experience. I can't think of anything he left out. I'm hoping to get my hands on his other book - "From Vs to Home" - and read it, too.2 years 9 months & counting till Van Life!

it's a nice read. there are no problems driving free? this book paints a beautiful picture of living the van live. what about the bad? I want a book to tell me both sides. not blow smoke up my butt.

Absolutely love this book, I haven’t finished it yet but only got two more chapters left and it has already helped me fully commit to doing the van life. My boyfriend and I have picked our set off date and this book was a huge help to get past the things I was worried about. So now it’s time to save for that van and get converting so we can get on the road!

Mike's writing style makes it easy to imagine taking the next step toward any goal you have. I've read both his books even though my goal isn't to live in a van, ...but it does involve ditching the traditional way of living for something which suits me better. His practical philosophy and implementable tips and strategies lend themselves to other goals well.I hope my kids each read his book and follow his blog. They will understand me even better, and will be further encouraged to follow their own path.

Very easy to read and I liked how Mike covered about everything. This book helped me set up my future goals. Highly recommend

The book made me smile. It was well written there were inspiring stories that made me want to get up and go. It also help with some of those nagging questions I had floating around in the back of my head. As Mike says in the book a life change like this can be overwhelming so to have the book break things down a bit was great. It also reaffirmed what I think about life and society and there was me thinking that it was me that was odd of thinking all these things. Seems I’m not alone. Hopefully Mike we’ll meet on the road some day. Well done and good luck! 😊

It's a very good book, easy to read and very interesting. And you don’t have to be a van traveller or about to become a van traveller to find this book interesting. The book guides you to live a meaningful, healthy and green life.

A very interesting read and well written, really interesting and well priced, would highly recommend

This book is interesting and a pleasure to read, I read it from cover to cover as soon as it arrived. The honest, practical advice makes this sound like a great way of life while being realistic about the down sides. The book has actually made me think twice about getting a van of my own...which is a bit disappointing but much better than making an expensive mistake!!!
