Vanlife is a lifestyle that becomes more popular day by day, mainly in the surf community. Therefore, “Living the Vanlife” is a documentary that looks for the answers to some of the most asked questions about living a life inside a van. “What is Vanlife?” “How do you sustain yourselves?” “How did it all start?” These are some of the questions to which the director found the answers.

Being a growing lifestyle and also being a controversial theme, the documentary “Living the Vanlife” is a first approach to the matter and intends to clear some ideas. The main objective was to show that it is possible to live inside a van and that the people who do it are as normal as the ones living in a flat or a house. Having this lifestyle is not a synonym of being, for example, a hippie. Living in a van is frequently a decision made with consciousness and an objective. This is the reality that “Living the Vanlife” exposes, show as well that there are several reasons why people choose this path.

The French band Phoenix are singing in their song “Telefono“ and express pretty exactly what crosses my mind, when I am thinking about Italy today. My parents used to travel to Italy with me, when my brother and I were kids every summer so probably that helped to lay the foundation for my weakness for the “La dolce vita“. Several years later I am still romancing over the beauty and diversity this country offers and try to capture them in my pictures.

OUT OF AFRICA

KURT BAUER

To me, one of the best things about surfing is the fact, that it leads you to places where you wouldn’t have been to without it. Incredible wildlife, deserted streets, endless desolate beaches, charming shops you had not entered if you wouldn’t have needed surf wax again. This time the journey led us first to South Africa and later also to Namibia. Two countries, which doubtless offer some of the best waves in the world, but in my view so much more.

The first thing to explain about surfing in Mallorca is that we have wind-swell based waves. The island wasn’t traditionally known for surfing and the community only really started in the late ‘80s with a handful of people.
