[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]After having understood the reasons<\/a> that made our members choose this way of travelling, and how to prepare for it<\/a>, discover our last article about the Van Life<\/em>. We’ll discuss the destinations which our 8 mileopedians travelled to![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”88122″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”accessible_destinations” text=”Accessible destinations” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Our vanlifers<\/em> travel alone, as a couple, with their family and some with their dogs. They travelled short and long distances depending on their free time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”88124″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]From two weeks of employer-allocated vacation time to four years continuously<\/strong>, some after selling houses, condos and cars. They experienced moments of pure grace, but not without challenge, often of a mechanical nature.<\/p>\n

And you can take photos of sublime places, even though between two idyllic shots, as some say, you still have to move around.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”88058″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”88112″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][vc_single_image image=”88088″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”88046″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”88108″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][vc_single_image image=”88094″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]And there are also sad stories.<\/p>\n

For example, that of Kelly, her husband and son, whose well-vaccinated Bernese mountain dog Maurice, who accompanied them, became seriously ill in California.<\/p>\n

He had to be hospitalized before the family had to return to Quebec urgently. $10,000 later,<\/strong> with the exchange rate<\/a> playing against them, the poor beast died and the couple sold their Winnebago.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Kelly considers this trip to have been the most beautiful of her life. RIP Maurice.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”88066″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”the_countries_visited” text=”The countries visited” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]The milesopedia community<\/a> vanlifers<\/em> interviewed covered America from East to West and North to South. At least, they were on their way to do so.<\/p>\n

Others have rented on another continent: in Europe and Oceania.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”canada” text=”Canada” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Canada<\/strong>: from Newfoundland to British Columbia before branching off to the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Alaska.<\/p>\n

I am thinking here of Emmanuelle and her dog Kuta, who crossed the polar circle together<\/strong>. Yes yes, you read it right: Inuvik. Just like Jo\u00eblle, one of our frequent travelers did with her husband in 1996.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”88036″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Inuvik is a super small village where it gets very cold, the gasoline is extremely expensive, like $1.60\/liter, and where the inhabitants live from hunting and meager crops, so they eat a lot of fish and meat. Grocery stores have few varieties of products, fruits and vegetables because they are too expensive for delivery. But the people are very nice.<\/p>\n

These travelers get around![\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”direction_california” text=”Direction California” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Quebec to California.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Many of our members have moved in this direction. To name only one: Maude and her tribe. Two adults, four children.<\/p>\n
