Van life in Portugal is often shown as sunshine, freedom, and easy living.
But the reality can be very different — especially when you’re living this life full-time.
In this video, I share why van life in Portugal is harder than you might think, based on real, lived experience — not the filtered version you usually see online.
This isn’t an attack on Portugal.
It’s an honest look at the practical and mental challenges that don’t get talked about enough.
If you’re thinking about:
🚐 Van life
🌍 Living abroad
🇵🇹 Portugal as a destination
then this video is here to help you make an informed decision, not sell you a fantasy.
This video is part of an ongoing series where I document the real side of van life and living abroad — without the filter.
💬 Have you lived van life?
Was it easier than you expected… or harder?
