Your First Year on the Road (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Are distant places calling your name? Do the roads beckon you with tales of adventure and promises of new experiences?

Many of us yearn for the life of hope and freedom that van dwelling provides. On the other hand, not so many of us know the first thing about where to get started, or what to do next.

Author Kristine Hudson is an experienced van lifer who learned all of the lessons the hard way. Giving up a 9-5 office job and a suburban home on a whim, she and her husband Brad did nearly everything wrong in their first year of van living.

This book combines two texts that chronicle all of those mistakes, along with advice, tips, and tricks to help you avoid the same stumbling blocks. "How to Live the Dream: Things Every Van Lifer Needs to Know" takes readers through the process of choosing a van, preparing for the road ahead, and gaining insight into a new knowledge base and way of thinking. "From Wheels to Wellness: Tips and Tricks for a Healthy Van Lifestyle" helps readers understand how basic wellness functions- like brushing your teeth or doing your laundry- can change when your home has four wheels and no running water!

✓ If you've ever wanted to hit the road, but aren't sure where to start...

✓ If you want to fall asleep to the sun setting over the mountains, but aren't sure which direction to go to find mountains...

✓ Even if you're currently in the middle of remodeling your van... but haven't considered where to put your collection of dirty socks...

This collection is for you. Regardless of where you are in the process of turning into a van nomad, you'll need some help. Once you turn the key and leave the driveway, your life will forever change. Ms. Hudson has gathered plenty of advice from fellow van lifers to make your introduction into your new lifestyle much less harried, and much more enjoyable!
