You forgot the most important S of all. How do you explain to your date that the vehicle _is_ the destination?



If your social skills are good enough, your date will explain that _their_ place is the destination.


What if they live in a van too?


Then I guess it won't be a problem for either of you.

(Assuming some minimum degree of limberness and agility.)


There's movie on Netflix called Talulah that begins with this premise.


Do you meant Tallulah from 2016 starring Ellen Page [1]?

Yep.


Just pick the right date, some of them would be quite excited.


What would be exciting about going back to a guy's van?

I mean, the whole thing is a living standard compromise to save thousands on rent. That doesn't make it an exciting destination - quite the opposite.


> the whole thing is a living standard compromise to save thousands on rent.

Actually I think you would find that almost universally, that's not the outlook of van dwellers.

> What would be exciting about going back to a guy's van?

I'm a heterosexual man, so nothing at all would be exciting for me.

But I'm willing to consider that others would find it exciting. And quite frankly, I can think of quite a few ladies I know who might.

What is the outlook of van dwellers?


You're not really considering the demographic here. Pretty much all of the vandwellers I met are surf or climbing bums and some girls are absolutely into that - not to mention a few were girls anyway. Not everybody is after the clean cut young professional life.


> What would be exciting about going back to a guy's van?

So she can tell her girlfriends that she did it in a Van. Jokes aside, isn't it true that most women just wanna have fun / adventure? So it might be a new thing, depending on the lady in question.


Saving money on rent is a side effect of vanlife, not the premise. Many do it for the geographical freedom.


> the whole thing is a living standard compromise to save thousands on rent

Is it though?
