#VANLIFE in the Pandemic Era | Behind The Hustle Ep.05

About this video

Nick De Santis from The Hustle interviews contributor Mia Sullivan about her plans to live in a van and travel across the US. Sullivan discusses her 2015 Mercedes Sprinter van renovation, her route through national forests, pandemic safety precautions, and her plans to document the journey through a podcast called “Places” that will explore how people in small towns are experiencing the crisis differently than urban centers.

Key takeaways

  • Van life involves varying levels of comfort—Sullivan’s build includes running water, heat, a toilet, and outdoor shower, representing a more developed setup compared to bare-bones alternatives
  • National forest camping rules vary significantly by state and forest; most allow dispersed camping on public land where travelers can camp freely, though some developed campsites remain closed due to the pandemic
  • Sullivan plans to document her travels through a podcast launching in June and by collecting stories from small towns to explore the rural-urban divide in how people are experiencing the pandemic
