Surviving My Third UK Winter in the Van | Van Life UK
Published 2024-03-04
I warn you that this isn't an upbeat, happy video. This is the reality of #solovanlife for me.
It has always been my intention to bring you the reality of van life but whenever I'm having a bad time of it, I stop creating content which is sort of counter productive!
So I do apologise if this video comes across as negative but that is the reality of van life. Its not all rainbows and cookies.
Check out my blog where you'll find posts about the places I visit including my images taken whilst there.

Thank you for your honesty Elton. Makes an authentic change from a lot of what appears on social media. I've a good friend who opted for solo van life 5 months ago with her little dog. I'm going to share your video with her. I know it's not an easy choice of lifestyle, at times. If ever you feel the need to chat, I'm always happy to talk on the phone. Or maybe we might cross paths sometime on our respective travels.

definately go abroad in your van during the winter months, even living in a house gets me down when it dark, wet and cold! Even had ideas of emmigrating to Warm climes such Southern Europe or Asia๐

Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong but my friend would park in city streets in winter he said if you look carefully there is always a free spot or dark corner so to speak, he got shelter from the big buildings and company from folk going about there business etc

You need a haircut, you're looking too much like Gandalf ๐ Do you have a GP that can prescribe Vit D injections or check you for low Vit D? It can be a contributor to SAD and while you can buy 10,000 unit Vit D capsules online, it doesn't absorb as well as the direct-inject stuff, so it might be worth thinking about if you haven't already.
