Note that in the OP pic of the babe in the van, it has an Aussie license plate.

I "think" I could/would do it depending on the size of the van and how often I could stay at a hotel. 2-3 times a month at a hotel would be a requirement for me. If the van is big enough to sleep, eat and lounge in, yeah, I could do it for an extended period of time...but only if I had cash flow I didn't need to work for.

I once believed the lyrics were "Weedle Weelde Beatle Gypsy Get around."

Couch surfing is how they keep the gig going (blowing) if you catch my drift. Dudes meeting them probably knowing the youtube channel and they have leverage because living in a van is retarded. Any channel with even an average chick is known by many younger dudes. It's implied if they "sleep on the couch" that something is expected in return.

Noticed, but you got the "babe" part wrong. That's not a babe. That gal is 45+ or a heroin addict. Look closer at her skin. She's aged through drug usage or is just older and didn't take care of her skin. That stomach is a wave pool. I like some meat, but that's dead weight. Do a fucking sit up.
I wonder if they are actually traveling all year or do they go couch surfing and work for a while somewhere.

They're trust fund babies.
Most of these 25-35 chicks have never saved a dollar. Daddy or Trust fund buys them the sprinter. They don't work to begin with, or work some BS job a few hours a day so they can claim to be employed or fight boredom.
Those Beamer Sprinters aren't cheap. And gas ain't cheap.
I don’t think they have apartments or houses and have quit the rat race for a while at least.

Love JT, but that looks miserable. Beating a dead horse, I get it. Some tart living in a van is one thing, but my head would be hitting the ceiling in the first photo.

Thousands of people live and vans, and the movement is growing every year.
Of people polled in a recent Outbound Living survey, about 51% of people live in their van full-time and 49% part-time.
Most of the people that live in their van live with just 1 other person.
A search of #vanlife on Instagram turns up over 7 million posts, up 312% from 2017.What are the travel trends of vanlifers?
Most vanlifers live in California, Colorado and Florida.
60% of people surveyed travel without their pets.
For most, a good night’s rest happens in a National Park, but for some, a parking lot works just fine.
Bathing habits vary due to the fact that most don’t have a shower in their van.How do vanlifers make and spend their money?
For a majority of vanlifers, making money to be able to spend on the road is an absolute necessity but how do they make their money, and what do they spend it on?
Almost 50% of people said they have a job that does not fit into a specific category, like being an influencer.
Only 4% of vanlifers surveyed report that they’re retired.
A good majority of people spend less than $100 per person per week while they are on the road.
Gas makes up a massive amount of monthly spending, often between $100-$300 a month.
The great thing is that a reported 38% of vanlifers don’t spend a dime on campsites!
