4. You will have to say goodbye all the time

When traveling, you can meet and make new friends. The sad thing is, you will always have to say goodbye to them because life in a van is a life that is continuously moving. Therefore, once you say goodbye, it is tough to maintain a friendship when you leave town. With the Internet, it is not difficult for you to connect via Instagram, but that is not like true friendship would be. When you stay in one place for an extended period of time; making friends and maintaining friendships is much easier. You can hardly maintain friendships without spending time with them.

As for the relationship of love, too, you can not have a long-term relationship with someone if you keep moving. This will be great if you use Tinder to find a quick love and take no responsibility afterward. However, if you want a serious, romantic relationship like in the movies, van life does not seem feasible and realistic.
