Abstract

Hayato and Akane have been traveling and living around Japan in a light van for four years. This book condenses practical information that will be useful to those who want to start van life, including their lifestyle, DIY, useful goods, recommended spots, and meals in the van! ╋━━━━━━━ Author's comment ━━━━━━━╋ Originally, after working as a company employee for three years, I quit my job to study abroad, but the COVID-19 pandemic hit just before I left. I had saved up money for studying abroad and had time, so I decided to take a road trip around Japan that I had always wanted to do! That's how I started living in a light van. Then, at the same time, we started YouTube to post how to DIY a light van. Traveling while making videos tends to be a slow pace, but we realized that it's fun to live a life that blends in with the local people outside of tourist spots, and this year marks our fourth year of living in a van. There are many aspects of living in a spacious place that are good, but by actually trying it, I was able to learn many good things and ways to enjoy sleeping in a car that are unique to light cars. I hope to be able to share that through this book.
