I’m a 32-year-old Frenchman who’s lived in the US for 6 years now.
I grew up abroad and lived most of my life outside of France, and have traveled to over 60 countries, so traveling wasn’t new to me. I got the VW Bus as a weekend project with no intention to move in it. At the same time, I started getting over with corporate life and 9-5 days that resembled one another. I was fairly successful and making good money, but comfort and a linear career just weren’t making me happier. The opposite actually.
This combined with the VW Bus restoration which I got really into, and the first travels with it (especially the month in Baja California in Mexico last year) made me take the leap to a much less conventional lifestyle, be it temporary.
