There's no one right way to see the world. Some people prefer sitting on a plane for hours on end and checking major items off their bucket list one at a time. Others like to embrace spontaneous adventures, renovate old buses and vans, and turn them into home sweet home. If you're one of those people, then you need some van life captions for Instagram and exploring the planet in the raddest way.

In my opinion, you're on a different kind of adventure — one that's filled with a whole lot of wanderlust and sunsets. You're waking up every morning and asking yourself, "Where to next?" Traveling has become your entire life, and you're not complaining about it one bit.

I personally don't know a ton of people who would give up their comfy couch and continuous access to WiFi for national parks, mountains, and sandy beaches. They may prefer to see those sights on the weekends when they're disconnecting from their nine-to-five job and have some time to spare. That's totally OK. We don't have to all have the same dreams or enjoy the same lifestyle. But I do applaud you for going after yours and making it your mission to constantly explore.

You're not wasting a minute of this grand thing called life, and posting pics on the reg from your quaint van that's parked in the middle of the desert or the bustling streets of a city. That's why I want to give you some captions for living the van life and getting in touch with the planet in the raddest way.

TBH, I really enjoy living vicariously through you and the others who are living life in a van. I like seeing the delicate string lights you have on the roof and the colorful blankets you have tucked into cabinets. Not to mention, I love seeing where you're traveling to, whether it be the sand dunes on the West Coast or the beautiful fall foliage in New England.

Do me (and your loyal followers) a favor and keep posting the pics from your adventure and alternative lifestyle on the 'Gram, OK? You're very inspiring and will likely encourage someone else to travel and see the world in the raddest way.
