From Dream to Disaster: A Van Life Story

I bought Billy the Vivaro to chase my dreams of living an alternative lifestyle on the road. I was naive about money and never planned for how quickly it would run out. Then Billy broke down, and everything went wrong.

Stranded and alone, I endured freezing temperatures as low as -10°C, with baby’s wipes and canned food frozen solid. Every night, I lit twenty tea lights just to keep warm.

This episode is my raw, unfiltered story of survival — the harsh realities of chasing freedom, the brutal cold, the financial struggles, and the mental fight to keep going when it felt like everything was against me.

If you want to hear the truth behind the dream, listen in.
