This week we have a good old fashion van life conversation for you with no other than Seb Santabarbara, the author of ‘Van Life for Dummies’. He shares some of his lessons from over 5 years of van life, as well as funny stories about the best & worst of van life. In the conversation, we cover:
- Tips for Starting Van Life
- Lessons and tips for building a van including common pitfalls
- Glamourised van life vs reality of van life (and our personal stories)
- Things Seb that can’t live without in a van
- Sebs struggles with mental health and his breakdown that led to temporary paralysis and he shares coping advice and wisdom around anxiety
Although this episode is about van life, there are so much wisdom and analogies that make for great life advice. Seb joined us from the UK whilst we were in Nepal & it felt so good to chat about one of our all-time favourite topics. Be sure to share with a friend, if you enjoy it!
