What could be better than eating dinner in the evening in a beautiful natural setting, under a clear sky? How comforting it must be to work on your laptop and let your gaze wander outside, where a quiet lake stimulates your concentration. You can get all of this if you choose the van life: freedom, spontaneity, life in the here and now, and a home outdoors.
Here is a story about one man, one van, and one black fluffy cat traveling around Australia. Richard East from Tasmania, Australia quit his corporate job of 10 years and sold his house to travel around Australia with his pet cat Willow in his van, after he was unhappy with his daily life and wanted to make a change.
They have been traveling together since 2014 and have crossed over 70,000 km with his Volkswagen Transporter.
“I realized that life is too short and i needed to do what fulfills me,” he said.
