VANLIFE DIARIES

VANLIFE DIARIES is a photography book celebrating the nomadic lifestyle and community of vanlife through interviews, essential advice for living on the road, and more than 200 photos of these tiny rolling homes.

Inspired by the blog and Instagram account, VANLIFE DIARIES is an inspiring and detailed look into the world of the rolling homes built and occupied by a new generation of modern gypsies: a range of professionals and creatives who have ditched conventional houses for the freedom of the road and the beauty of the outdoors. Unlike the closest competitive title, VANLIFE DIARIES will emphasize the lifestyle, passions, and people of the movement.

More than 200 photographs feature the vanlifers, their pets, and their converted vans and busesVWs, Sprinters, Toyotas, and morewith the interiors uniquely customized and decorated for their work and hobbies, as well as the stunning natural locations that are the movement's inspiration. Interviews and narrative captions share the stories of these nomads and how they decided to pursue vanlife, and provide practical tips and inspiration for downsizing, finding and converting your vehicle, and working and living on the road.
