Reasons why travelling by van is fashionable

There are hundreds of ways to travel, but if there is one that has become fashionable lately, it is travelling by van. Although most of us like to travel, not all of us like the rigidity of relying on flights and hotels or visiting a single destination. That’s why many people have already chosen to take their home with them and embark on a campervan trip.

The campervan lifestyle is a much more sustainable and carefree way of life, a way to experience nature in its purest form. And these are 7 of the thousands of reasons why travelling by van is so fashionable.

1. Freedom of movement

Planning a trip can be exhausting: choosing a hotel, flights, transport from one place to another, and even finding a good location can be too expensive. Save yourself the check-in and check-out, the queues at the airport, and the dead hours. Choose a van with which you can move around without schedules, without depending on others and with the freedom to sleep where and when you want.

2. Travelling with a pet

There are many hotels that do not allow pets or have many limitations. Travelling with a camper gives you complete freedom in this respect. In a camper, you can take your furry friend on all your adventures and live unique experiences together.

3. Save a lot of money

When you choose to travel in a van, you select a much more economical method of transport as you avoid accommodation costs, which are usually one of the most expensive parts of planning a trip. On the other hand, most campers have a kitchen, which will help you avoid restaurant costs, and you will be able to prepare all your meals in the comfort of your van.

4. Allow more luggage

Although space in a campervan is limited, it is much larger than on a plane or train. If you know how to distribute your belongings and plan well the storage spaces offered by the van, you will be able to take a lot more things with you than on traditional trips.

5. Flexibility of stay and duration

Since you don’t have to stick to certain days and schedules of hotels and planes, you can plan your route much more comfortably. If you don’t like a location, you can pick up all your belongings and leave, and in the opposite case, you can extend your stay as long as you want. Your camper, your rules!

6. Sleep in dream locations

A hotel, although it may offer you comfort and space, cannot compare to the feeling of having the freedom to sleep in paradisiacal places: next to the beach, in the mountains, in a stream… the options are unlimited.

7. Sustainability when travelling

Although it is undeniable that any method of transport (with the exception of cycling or walking) is polluting the planet, unlike other forms such as planes or trains, vans are more sustainable. Many late-model campers are hybrids, which allows for a considerable reduction in pollution. In addition, in terms of energy, water, toilet, and shower consumption in a campervan is quite limited, so it ends up being much more sustainable.
