Why women are choosing solo van life

Worth a read. I have noticed that there are more women than men living full time in vans.

What isn't mentioned is the simple fact most women live longer than men, ipso facto more women in the grey nomad lifestyle.

A lot of females who are in a more financial precarious situation than males.

If they want to do it great, if they are forced to do it, not good.

True that, I'm meeting a lot of older women going solo motorhomes and small vans and they seem to manage ok. Also seeing a lot of younger people sleeping in their cars perhaps that's a combination of covid and scarce rentals.
