The van has traditionally been the simple go-to mode to transport people and stuff to a particular destination. But they’re more than that these days and are a lifestyle choice – how things change!
The rise of “van life” has attracted droves to trusty vans and life on the road. People want to enjoy more freedom and connection with their environment, which explains why models such as ID.Buzz are growing so popular. So, why is hopping into a van and hitting the road so appealing these days? What’s it about van life?
Freedom
Vans are like flexible homes. They can accommodate a small family and be on your way for some fun out of town without limitations. So, are you in the mood for a beach party or beer at the foot of the mountain? No problem! With a van, the world is your oyster – or, even better, your parking lot.
A sense of Community
Van life brings a sense of community, and nothing spices life more. Chances of meeting other ‘vanlifers’ increases when parked at a rest stop or campground. It’s the way of the universe. A vanlifer attracts other vanlifers.
These van life connections are often beneficial, especially when looking for advice on the best places to see the sunset or share a beer.
A Downside?
Vanlifing isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. There are some times you’ll wish for some privacy and settling. But a vanlifer will only see pros that far outweigh the cons, and they love it that way.
But let’s be honest for a second, who wouldn’t want to wake up to a different view of the sunrise every morning? We’re all adventurers at heart and potential vanlifers. Life is about the moments that take our breaths away, so if you can vanlife, why not?

Have you lately been looking into minivans? Most people would go for crossovers and SUVs because apparently, their design is a lot more appealing than minivans. But the latest minivans, such as the 2021 Sienna with its squinty headlamps and wide-mouth grille, are sweet to the eyes.
There are several advantages a minivan has over your dream crossover.
Better Capacity for People and Cargo
Maybe you have a large family, or you are a party animal who likes having a small crowd of friends on an adventure. Whatever the case, a minivan is miles better for carrying people and cargo. A great example is the Chrysler Pacifica, with foldable second and third rows for more cargo space.
Then again, the 2021 Honda Odyssey has a spacious interior and is reconfigurable for cargo and other family members. Also worth the mention is the budget-friendly Dodge Grand Caravan with the capability to carry seven passengers.
Better Fuel Economy
Forget the shape, minivans are economical, and you can accomplish a lot with them. Their fuel economy is better than that of most SUVs. Considering that minivans carry many people and cargo, you get better value for your money. You do more with less fuel.
Latest Minivans are More Comfortable
In the not-so-far-away past, the interior of the majority minivans was nothing to write home about. But that is in the past. Current vans compete with higher-end SUVs, sedans, and crossovers with comfortable and premium interiors.
For example, Chrysler Pacifica comes with comfortable seats for the whole family and space to travel in luxury. On the other hand, the highly practical 2021 Honda Odyssey has pleasant driving dynamics and is intended to make the life of every passenger a little easier. If luxury is your staple, there are options such as the Mercedes-Benz Metris. Still think that minivans are not for you?
