What would be exciting about going back to a guy's van?

I mean, the whole thing is a living standard compromise to save thousands on rent. That doesn't make it an exciting destination - quite the opposite.

Actually I think you would find that almost universally, that's not the outlook of van dwellers.

I'm a heterosexual man, so nothing at all would be exciting for me.

But I'm willing to consider that others would find it exciting. And quite frankly, I can think of quite a few ladies I know who might.

You have not explored a viewpoint other than your own on this topic.

What is the outlook of van dwellers?

You're not really considering the demographic here. Pretty much all of the vandwellers I met are surf or climbing bums and some girls are absolutely into that - not to mention a few were girls anyway. Not everybody is after the clean cut young professional life.

So she can tell her girlfriends that she did it in a Van. Jokes aside, isn't it true that most women just wanna have fun / adventure? So it might be a new thing, depending on the lady in question.

Saving money on rent is a side effect of vanlife, not the premise. Many do it for the geographical freedom.
