In 2025, van life isn’t what it used to be — it’s smarter, more connected, and more accessible than ever. Whether you’re dreaming of a retirement filled with road trips or looking to live simply and affordably, Traveling Free and Easy (They Laughed When I Said I Was Going to Retire and Live in My Van) is your complete guide to making it happen without draining your savings.

Author Steven Doornbos blends practical tips, real-world stories, and a dash of humor to walk you through every stage of the journey — from choosing and outfitting your van to living comfortably on less than $40 a day. You’ll discover how to find safe overnight spots, cook great meals in a tiny kitchen, stay healthy on the road, connect with fellow travelers, and keep the lifestyle sustainable for years.

Whether you’re brand new to van life or ready to level up your current setup, this book is your road map to freedom, adventure, and financial peace of mind.
