WORKING A 9-5 JOB LIVING IN A VAN | Full-Time Van Life

Van Life is what you make it. The van is your HOME, your place of comfort and sleep. It doesnt matter what you do with the rest of your life. You are free to do whatever you want

I started VAN LIFE because i was tired of the day to day routine of doing the same thing, same job, same drive to work, same mornings, same nights...everything was the same day after day. Van Life has been just an awesome experience since day one. This full time for me. I am in this for the long haul. I Love Van life. Its been the best choice i have ever made. I started Van life with my English bulldog names Disco. He is my hommie and my heater lol. I Built my van build is simple to show everyone that you can start Van Life with just the basics and build your van as you go. That you don't need a big fancy build to get started. VAN LIFE is closer then you think. just grab the basics you need and get started. You will figure out what you need after you are in the van. I don't have solar or battery banks, a sink or an electric fridge. I didn't need that stuff to get started. I am sure in the future at some point when i feel the need for those things i will get them. But so far i have everything i need without all the fuss and stress of Solar panel, deep cycle batteries, and a full van build. One day maybe but right now i feel at home in my van with everything i need.

I have dedicated my life right now to doing youtube full-time, i have fallen in love with the creative aspect of filming and editing. I am still learning and and grinding to make this a full time gig for me. I would love to earn enough through youtube and Patreon to be able to travel and film for you and the world everyday. To share my journeys from my prospective and to inspire and uplift my viewers to be themselves and life the life they want. To be who they are truly meant to be. YOU.

Thank you for being here on this great Van Life adventure with me.

Iv been homeless for 6 months due to a bad break up. Just bought a 1989 ford econoline van and let me tell you I love it. Needs a lot of work but sleeping in my own room on wheels is amazing. I work 9 to 5 and feel amazing. This life has saved me and my dog love it!!

[DarslynNylorac]

I totally agree...you can live in your van while you work your regular job...until you save the money you need to live your dream...that salary is soooo much better when your not giving it all to a landlord :)

[Diggeloo]

That’s it! I’m selling all my stuff to buy a van! I’m sick of this boring apartment! I’m getting nowhere living like this! You really inspiring me! Thanx man! Stay awesome!

I started living in a van after I left my ex then a few days later I landed a 9-5 job that I love and while I was at it I started going to the gym everyday to lose the relationship weight I had gained over four years. It's not easy but I have a routine now and I'm more happy and fulfilled than I have been in years. I've so far bounced back and forth between two hotel parking lots in my city and haven't had any trouble yet. I was terrified at first especially since I'm a female but I got all the bs excuses out of my head and just kept pushing forward until I got over the fears. I even told my boss and she immediately felt sympathy but I explained to her that it's a lifestyle choice and she respects that. With big changes come beautiful different perspectives of life that I had never noticed before or I took for granted. Yes, everything requires more planning but it's doable you just can't be lazy. Van life kicks you out if that home all day doing nothing lifestyle and I appreciate that aspect. I'm a kennel technician so I reek of dog after work but I fix that by keeping hygiene in check and always wearing fresh clothes. Do it, it's a wonderful humbling experience that I'm taking in right now :) #noregrets

Ven life style definitely interest me. I am just too old at 76 years old having had cancer twice and one stroke plus multiple chronic health conditions. So I do van life by watching videos like this.

[gisellegonzalez]

You're absolutely right, Vanlife is as unique as the Van owner. I'm a full time Van dweller and I pick up catering gigs along the way. It can be done, you just have to get out of your way. Thanks for the pep talk safe travels much love to Disco. 💖🙏🏼

[johnsparkman]

Putting my house up for sale and everything else this coming spring plus payed off all my dept and banking money till I tell my boss I'm done. Oh man I just can"t wait. Chrome you have been a great inspiration "Thank You"!

[craigreid]

Chrome - time to become a motivational speaker you were born to do it. Thanks for inspiring us all brother.

[IowaKim]

The internet has opened up so many opportunities for working on the road. I'm 58 and wish it was like that when I was young. So you 20, 30 and 40-somethings, listen to Chrome, he's right. Meanwhile, I have some catching up to do!

[TreTaylorShow]

I am so happy I found you Chrome. The timing of finding your channel was perfect! I start my full time van life TOMORROW! I'm a little nervous, but your passion, wisdom and joy give me the courage to just go for it. I feel safer and stronger knowing that if You can do this, so can I. THANK YOU. xxxooo III

[rogerchouinard]

Damn, look at those numbers climbing! Already hitting 3.3k subscribers. And why, cause he tells you what's on his mind, and like it is. I've been watching van and rv living videos for some time now and this new channel has quickly become my favorite. Chrome and Disco living the life they choose. Gotta love it.

[TrustingYourProcess]

Moving into my van 12/31/18 and keeping my day job! It's scary but I am doing it anyway! And it's van lifers like Chrome that help give me the courage to do it. So thank you Chrome.
