Quit your job. Sell everything you own. Move your life into a van. Travel the world.
Does this outrageous scenario sound familiar to you? Like many travel enthusiasts, you might’ve also dreamt of embracing the #vanlife movement. After all, it’s become the benchmark of the Instagram dream life, with over 14 million hashtags on the social media platform as of writing.
Realistically speaking, however, #vanlife isn’t for everyone. With mouths to feed and bills to pay, most of us are committed to 9-to-5 jobs that require face-to-face meetings once in a while. But of course, this shouldn’t stop us from dreaming. In fact, experiencing the #vanlife is finally feasible for the regular folk, with Airbnb trailers in the Philippines finally popping up!
