Going Places in Tiny Spaces, Van Life, Sail Life, and Minimalist Travel
This is our tiny travel blog.
It’s all about exploring big by traveling small.
What started off as a van life blog documenting three journeys across three continents in three different vans, today includes much more. Here you’ll find camping trips, hiking guides, off-the-beaten-path travel destinations, and most recently, stories from our foray into sail life, on our little 29 foot Beneteau, Whisper.
Most of all this page is about slow, self-directed travel and self-guided adventure, regardless of how we get there.
We try to take the path less traveled, seeking out unique experiences, though we never shy away from a bucket list destination either.
Our travel style is minimalist, budget-friendly, outdoor-focused, and environmentally conscious.
If some or all of that resonates with you, you are likely to find something worth reading here.
We are the Vanabonds, these are our tales…

Meet The Vanabonds
Out of a love for travel, we met one snowy Christmas night in Estonia. Eighteen months later, we quit our day jobs in search of a more nomadic lifestyle. We set out to try our hand at overlanding in a converted van (#vanlife).
We hope, through our wanderings, to inspire you, to travel, to explore, and to get out there and experience the world.
Thanks for wandering with us!
