Choosing A Life Less Ordinary | Full Time Van Life & Beautiful Conversion On A Budget

----------------
Welcome back to another Liveration video!
In this episode, we speak to Billie and Steve, a couple who have moved from "weekend warriors" to full-time vanlifers in their self converted van, 'Luna The Green Goddess'.
They share their story of how they came to live full time in their van, as well as the ups, downs, and realities of vanlife.
Billie and Steve also share their thoughts on the moden day society we live in, and the system that "keeps us slaves to society"
We also get a full tour of Luna The Green Goddess, inside and out... And when we tell you this is not a tour to be missed....we mean it!! The inside is converted on a budget with reused materials, and looks like a stunning "gypsy wagon" meets log cabin feel, with homely touches as well as being set up for off grid life on the road!
We hope you enjoy this episode! Let us know in the comments what you think. We love to hear it 🙌🏼.
Thanks to Billie and Steve for sharing their story with us and showing us around their beautifully converted van!

Inspirational. We’re a married couple in our early 50s. Fed up with the stress and struggle of keeping a house, paying bills and working to exhaustion. We’ve bought a Mwb sprinter which we use a lot. But we’re selling the house and stepping into the unknown ❤
This couple totally vibe. (it's my weekend - and I've already got 4 fluffing calls from work already). It seems that the Corporate world wants to "own" you. To paraphrase Steven Hugues, talking about work: "it's like slavery, but you gotta provide your own food and accommodation". This couple are totally onto it. Bless them and their life on the road 😊😊😊😊😊😊

If you don't set your own boundaries, someone else will set them for you! Easier said than done I guess.
If it rains, buy an umbrella. Life is more simple than we think. Live in the moment.
You guys have given me faith. I’ve been living in my van for 6 months ( with the luxury of my sisters garage which I converted into a basic living space as back up and storage) ) after 30 yrs with “the one” life suddenly came to a fork in the road and I lost her, my bungalow and what I thought was my life. 6 moths later I’m healing…Im Happy being me, but always wondered if there was anyone out there who had the same outlook, experiences as me. I partly thought this is how I will live, without anyone, and don’t get me wrong if I coiled off this planet tomorrow, I’m content and happy, but knowing out there, in this vast world, I could find companionship with likeminded souls and meet amazing people like yourselves….its humbling and hopeful. This is why liveration is thee best channel out there. You meet people like us….its thee most relatable thing on social media. I thank you for this, I really do.

Wow, thank you for sharing,so amazing,love everything they said about life,freedom etc… ❤
I agree with everything you both said ,I would love to live like this eventually just for the fact you can wake up and decide you want to go here or there I personally think that's something to appreciate on its own after all if you mortgage a house your then stuck to that for at least 20 years so you work to pay bills I want to work to be able to live a happy ish life and then have more time to do things I enjoy but be comfortable at the same time it's definitely not a easier way of life but can be cheaper and more rewarding with the different views you can wake up to ☮️🙏
Half of the van life appeal is because society is broken.. I totally get it and I totally agree, I'm not ready for vanlife yet (extremely tall, overweight meaning vans are not comfortable or safe) but I'm getting desperately unhappy with being forced to life like this to pay for someone else.. If its not vanlife it'll be something else, it's unacceptable but you can't influence politics so 🤷♀️
Great outlook to life,hope yous have a great time in your van ,love the cab door.

Don't necessarily agree with some of their points about getting the cheapest van etc and you don't need a lot. You actually do need a lot, you have to take into consideration the upkeep of the van, those things aren't cheap to repair if something goes wrong.
