VANLIFERS: Portrait of an Alternative Lifestyle (Subs: EN-FR-ES-DE-IT) Full Movie

Are you ready to be inspired? Westfalia Digital Nomads is proud to present: ‘Vanlifers: Portrait of an Alternative Lifestyle.’
This free full-length documentary features interviews of #vanlifers from different countries and their unique perspectives on choosing to live in a van.
It doesn’t matter if you’re single, in a couple, with a family - or just at the dreaming stage right now about getting on the road - this film will inspire you to follow your dreams.
The #vanlifers featured in the film talk about how they got started; tips; and even the ‘darkside of #vanlife,’ where not everything is Instagram perfect, like life.
Spectacular landscape cinematography is laced throughout, from award-winning director Armando Costantino.
Please share it on your social, tag friends you know would love to see it and tell others (word of mouth is still a beautiful thing).
And thank you for watching - we appreciate it much. Armando, Mel, Ziggy and Mork

    I would recommend to most young people to spend some time doing this before they settle down and “get on with life” and not wait until they are 50 or 60 years old. You might find that you enjoy it and spend the rest of your life this way. I’m in my 50’s, raised my son, lost my wife, and spent decades working crazy amounts of time to support a lifestyle I no longer believe in. So now I’ve got a truck and travel trailer and I’m going to give it a shot. I don’t want to be old and sitting in a care facility waiting to die and wishing I had taken the opportunity to do this. Now if I could find a lady friend to go with me I’d be in heaven lol

    I am 81 born at the end of great depression - my sister and I were raised in a very small homemade trailer and loved every minute of it - great family saw more learned more that trailer was home very small but we never noticed - our safe nest of love - never fear for your children. I am moving in a van conversion the end of July my son is converting van for me now. WOW!!!!!!! I cannot wait, best life ever - what a big front yard - never dull - never boring - my life will be beautiful missed it so. Go for your dream your children will so enjoy it and miss it soooo if ever forced to live in any other manner. I admire what you for your way of life.

    1998, I spent the summer planning a trip across the States in a 1955 Volkswagen Bus with westfalia camper kit...Extra motor on the roof rack, two spare tires, extra brake lines, all the fluids.....then my girlfriend at the time got an apartment for us in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area and my dream fizzled away.......I have only myself to blame. I'll spend the rest of my life wondering what could have been. DON'T BE ME, GO FOR IT.

    I originally found this -movie/documentary in 2019, right after I purchased my first van in California. I’m now on my 3rd van and it’s so weird how far removed we are now in 2024 from this type of “original style van” life. I’m so grateful I found this documentary. It’s help shape so much of who I am when I’m moving about this country in a van. Thank you!

    This is really giving me courage. Ever since I moved out with 19 (am 35 now) I kept moving around, never really content with how my life was. I moved 11 times since then, that's like every second year moving to another place and even though I've always been dreaming of, you know, traveling and freedom it is only now after massive changes in my life that I realize that this vanlife thing might be my way of living, at least for a while. Because that restlessness in me, the inability to settle down for good, it stems from within and it is about finding myself, learning to trust myself, learning to be independent and have courage not just in myself, but also the world around me. I'm a fucking coward, but I will do this. It will take time until I've paid off my university debts and such, but i will do it.

    Make a list and check it twice. You'll have the same expenses (you just pay them in a different place) and then some. A lot of people think they use fewer resources, but miss what they use in laundromats, etc. You spend more time shopping for food because of limited food storage, etc.

The narrator's voice was peaceful, serene, and genuine, not to mention smooth as buttah! Listening to all the stories made me think about possibilities in my own life or opportunities for change. I loved when one of the travelers said, "Fear is the enemy." So true! Thank you for sharing this beautiful documentary. I know it represents countless hours of hard work. Bravo!

    I have been planning a "try-out" trip for the month of July 2018 in New England, USA. We're taking a tent with us for stops along the way between visits to 5 family members, in 5 states. We will also head down to Rhode Island for a day trip, though there are no relatives there. This movie is inspiring, and educational. I really liked the honesty in the interviews! We will be travelling in a 2005 Dodge Gran Caravan named "Fiona". (Driving east on the Highway one day, her shadow looked just like an Ogre from the Shrek movies!) I feel more compelled than ever to be one with the No-mad Nomads here in the US. As a retiree living in someone else's home for 6 months now (VERY GRACIOUS HOSTS!!!) I don't feel homeless...more like houseless. Thanks for such an honest and inspiring movie. Happy Trails where the Rubber meets the road, from Cris Y-D

    Now, guys, this documentary is a treat! I was pointed towards it via Rich's last video where he did a quick interview with you guys and I'm so glad I watched it. The videography is spectacular and the interviews done in a way that makes them a pleasure to listen to. So much insight into the van life from so many different perspectives. I've always wanted to convert a vintage bus into a mobile home (I could do with a van, but I'll never get my wife to give up all of her comforts, so I'm afraid I'll have to compromise) which is why I'm so interested in all the van life videos by Beyond The Van, The Indie Project, Explorer Buddies and so many others. This documentary has given me great ideas and renewed the spark. Who knows? I might actually go through with it in the future. You certainly wet my appetite. 👍😉

    I do work and live in my apartment , but i have my van for traveling and holidays and its beeing used about 100days a year currently, one of the wierdest things i find while traveling is people permanently living in a van looking down on everyone that choose to have their "van" as a holiday cabin instead of their perm home ..

    I (personally) think it's a silly idea to look down on anyone, much less someone who explores when they can. :) A cabin in the woods? Grin. How cool. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is: who you are, where you want to discover, and having joy along the travel. It doesn't matter how many days. It matters the experience.

    A very real look at different reasons for taking up vandwelling either temporarily or as a lifestyle - the different psychologies behind vandwelling. It looks as if vandwelling is a worldwide attraction for young and old alike, and makes more and more sense to more and more people, especially now that there are technological improvements in solar and batteries and and high top vans to choose from. It seems the biggest problems on the road are vehicle failures and one needs to pay more attention to what is going on with the van - preventative and scheduled maintenance is important, plus upgrades to make the van ride more comfortable.

    @@Westfaliadigitalnomads I look forward to it. I've been binge watching CheapRVLiving elderly interviews and some are living full-time in a van out of financial necessity and some voluntarily b/c of a long suppressed travel bug or because of more even access to children and g'children spread far apart. Myself, my dream is to be a true snowbird - a bungalow in Canada and one in Florida and vandwelling to live on campus when I'm taking courses, or hiding out in the driveway or backyard of grown children I'm visiting with. I don't have a travel bug but do know people who would make a great mentor for me. My health is better than ever it was when I was young, proving that one can cleanse and regenerate the mind and body when free from demands. In fact, one of my favorite mentors spent about ten years in his motorhome on his back happily out-of-body travelling, and I know an American buddhist monk who enjoys the zen-ness of his converted van. So, it appeals to all types, eh!? My biggest angst is trying to decide if I want the bed front to back or side-to-side, lol. Anyone feng shui a converted van? Looking much forward to your next flick.
