VANLIFE INSTAGRAM PHOTOS driving .
The pleasure of traveling while behind the wheel is for me, one of the best ways to explore the world.
I don’t quite know if it is the sense of open road freedom, having the ability to stop wherever I feel or the sensation of physically taking myself from one place to the next.
Being a natural born driver, I have driven cars in more than 50 countries altogether. Some of my top memories are driving in Iceland , Russia , or Afghanistan !
Even wilder, I participated in the infamous Central Asia Rally – a crazy banger car rally that has a bunch of mad people driving from Europe all the way to Kyrgyzstan.
Back to #vanlife on Instagram …
Do you know something? I own two vans and made a few, month-long trips with my 1992 Peugeot, and one-year-long trip with my 2005 Mercedes Sprinter 4X4.
Due to particular interests, I’ve actually spent some time searching for pictures holding the #vanlife hashtag. After a few months bookmarking my favorites, I can now make a small list of « Best Instagram #VANLIFE photos for 2019 ».
I hope you enjoy.

Sometimes I worry I won't be able to remember all of this…. How could I? We're always moving, always plotting, always tired. Always teetering on the balance of excitement and exhaustion…of adventure and disaster. There's too much to do and know and see and feel. Maybe that's why I take so many pictures…write so many notes… I want to save every dirt road, every star, every state line, every mile…I want to be able to read my own story to myself when I'm old…when I've forgotten. And then, 100 years from now when that story is almost over, I want to peer into Keith's eyes, all twinkling under tired skin dragged down with the weight of time, and whisper "we were really really really alive weren't we…"

“What better way to enjoy a day of sunshine than spending it at the beach with a good view.” “I love when you’re driving along what seems to be a normal road and then all of a sudden there’s just a river flowing through it.” “We’ve been inspired this week by friends that have spoken out about environmental issues.”

We've been inspired this week by friends that have spoken out about environmental issues in the wake of an election that could be the worst thing for our planet since the invention of plastic. We loved a blog post by fellow #vanlifers @lifestyleoverluxury about 'lazy plastics': bottles, bags, and straws. These are the three easiest throw-aways to replace in your daily life. Get a #reusable mug/bottle, buy a few #hemp or #canvas bags, and say 'no straw please'. Simple right!? If that's all you can take on right now and you need to stop right there, do it! If we all just cut down on these 3 things it would make a massive difference in the world today. If, like us, you want to know what the next step is to reduce your plastic usage, we've posted a link in our bio to a list of 37 easy ways to #reduce our waste. #Recycling is great, voting for plastic bag bans is great, but looking at our own usage is even better. This is a big priority for us, and despite years of conscious effort to avoid plastics altogether, it's damn hard in the modern world. We're doing what we can, and trying to eliminate a little more every day. One step at a time, friends. We suggest picking one type of plastic at a time and making it a habit to find alternatives. We'll be offering more specific suggestions as we go, stay tuned for more! And please let us know in the comments about your favorite way to cut down on plastics usage, no matter what kind of home you call home.
