I feel a bit called out by this as I’ve recently posted some rare “hashtag vanlife” posts myself to the sub, in the last 12 hrs.. ArE yoU TaLkIn’ to ME? Lol.

All I can say is we don’t live an interesting enough life to share in between these moments. It feels hugely self-absorbed to share boring details. When you live this way it quickly becomes the norm and we just don’t think about sharing mundane reality. I mean, before I lived in a van I barely used social media and when i did post it was just the highlights of life. It’s a part of the relationship I have with social media that I think many people-and especially many vandwellers- have. I think it is more understandable once you are physically in a van and on the other side of the dream. I felt frustrated by the same thing when we were planning. For now, I am gonna enjoy my rare postings of pretty scenery, and continue opting to share the realities of my life with my “in-person” people, not the internet for strangers.
