Spending two months in a van without a high roof, bathroom and proper kitchen. Two adults and a dog. Packed with plenty of bike- and surf stuff, which makes it even hard to turn around in the night. More than 6000 kilometers on roads and four days on the dog-decks of the ferries. Why we choose the vanlife-style instead of all-inclusive holiday? Why we prefer downsizing in our time off as an antipole to daily routine? An attempt to explain this in some strong pictures.
