Reasons to find or start a van life co-travelers group
- As fun as it is meeting new people at festivals, it’s great to know there are a few people who have your back in an emergency, and you have theirs. To that end, check out member profiles in the Match for Free page.
- If you have kids, now or in the future, connecting with other van life kiddoes normalizes their experience and makes it more fun.
- It’s great that there are tons of tips and advice columns online, but the best kept secrets are going to be reserved for in-person friends.
- Eventually, sometime down the road you might want to settle in one place, even if temporarily. Should that time come, having a passel of like minded close friends to build with or near could be just what you need for the next phase of life.
