Kryslyn and Taylor - Mercedes sprinter
Hi. We live in a van.
We’re Kryslyn and Taylor. We decided in September of 2019 to live the van life. After completing our conversion at the beginning of this year, we have officially moved in full time! We decided to start this blog to document our process and provide insight into van dwelling for those who are interested in doing the same.
A little bit about us…
Kryslyn
I’m a Business Marketing student with the hopes of working on the road. I dabble in photography and find I’m at my happiest when I’m traveling. It has always been my dream to do some kind of tiny living. I had originally been sold on the idea of purchasing a storage container and turning it into a studio… and then it was a bus… and then ultimately I came to the idea of living in a van. I’ve never liked the idea of being tied down to one spot and living in a van provides me with the ability to get up and go whenever I please.
Taylor
I’m a Computer Science student with one more semester to go before having to adult full-time. When deciding on a career, one of the most important considerations for me was lifestyle. I wanted to have the mobility and flexibility to explore and travel as much as possible, and I knew that traditional career paths would not provide this. The ability to work from a laptop was the obvious choice, and the decision to live in a van followed naturally.
Discussions of van life began shortly after we met, when we realized that our aspirations perfectly aligned, and that living in a van would help us actualize these aspirations. We were inspired by the growing popularity of online communities of people successfully living in their vans, and of the incredible depth of tutorials and how-to’s that existed for the motivated DIYers. We are indebted to the knowledge and wisdom provided by the community, and are truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
We hope to provide back to the community with content about our conversion and day-to-day life in the van. Hopefully you will find something in our blog that inspires you or helps you with your own van life journey.
Cheers!
