About Me – Chill Van Life

Hey there!

My Van Life Story

Two years ago, my family and I decided to trade the hustle and bustle of everyday life for weekend adventures in our campervan. With two kids in tow, we’ve turned our van into a cozy, mobile home that’s perfect for kitesurfing trips in the summer and Split-boarding adventures in the winter.

Living in Canada, we’ve learned how to make van life work year-round

—yes, even during those chilly winter months! From winter camping hacks to budget-friendly gear recommendations, I’m here to show you that van life is totally doable, no matter where you are or what season it is.
