We've spent 10 years living between a sailboat and campervan. People ask us a lot of questions about hygiene and space.

Detailed summary

For years, we've lived between a van and a sailboat. Some of the most frequent questions we're asked involve our long-term plans, hygiene, and space.

My partner and I have lived on sailboats and in vehicles for 10 years, an idea that's unfathomable to many people. They worry about things like getting along with their partner in such a small space, where to go to the bathroom, and the complexity of a life without structure or plans. And I get it. While there are more stories in the media of people choosing an untraditional path over a 9-to-5 and a mortgage, people like us are still the minority. Our first foray into vehicle living was a Toyota Prius in 2015 to avoid steep rent in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we now split our time between a Sprinter campervan in the US during the summer months and a sailboat in Mexico all winter.
