She sounds nice - but I'll NEVER understand living in a van if you a) have to stay in one place due to a job or something (esp. if that place has shitty weather) and b) if you have to live in a city.
Vanlife absolutely sucks in bad weather and in the city, but from where I stand in the comfort of a 72 degree day in the gorgeous Sonoran desert, vanlife is pretty damn good.
(although I am sympathetic to people who live in a van and/or can't travel due to financial limitations. Maybe I should offer to venmo her)
