Sometimes you just want to chill in your home for a while in the daytime without being bothered.
There are a lot of activities you can do in the day but in this post, I’ll go over safe places to park to chill in your van.
Obviously, if you’re in BLM land or at some sort of campground, it’s easy to just go about your business, but a lot of vanlifers live in a city. Just a reminder that these are not where you want to park to sleep (unless it’s a short nap). Find nighttime parking here.
The best places to park are going to be somewhere where people generally spend a long time.
Malls, libraries, bookstores, movie theaters, restaurants, gyms, strip malls, beaches, hiking spots, parks, grocery stores.
I found a lot of luck in apps such as Meetup & Eventbrite. I went to every interesting event I had time for. This is a great way to network, learn new skills, & sometimes even get a free meal!
