The Van Life Map is a crowdsourced resource for nomads of all types.
Living the #VanLife s a rich, exploratory experience that leads to personal growth and enhanced freedom. But the van life is also full of challenges and pain points, which is why this resource was created; to help people be prepared and feel confident living a life on the road.
2024/08/30 - It's been a great run working with the team. After several years, we've closed the project and shared our data with other teams who are taking on the mission of making Van Life a bit smoother.
What is The Van Life Map?
Our Van Life Map is an open-source tool for people living the van life. Functionally, it's a custom Google Map with parking, working, and other interesting locations highlighted by fellow van adventurers.
Who Is Behind The Van Life Map?
There's an ever-evolving community of van lifers who grow, manage, and add data to the map. The idea originated with Spencer Field, who continues to guide the map's evolution and maintain community guidelines.
Here's a few of those Van Life Map contributors:
- Margo Stoney
- Scott Mixer
- Spencer Field (Founder)
