Since its inception, VanLife MTL has taken daring turns, an adventure that is shaped through great encounters and a desire to conscientiously evolve. And regardless of the path taken, one mission persists: The freedom to live in all simplicity.vanlifemtl
Where it all began
This adventure was not born yesterday! David, the founder of VanLife MTL, spent the majority of his early twenties in his Ford econoline 86. As for Naïma, his wife, it is with her family, aboard a modified school bus that she experienced a good part of his childhood. When they met in 2015, travel was central to their relationship, but David’s endeavors did not allow them to go on an adventure as far or for long as they wished.
That’s why in 2017 they decided to buy the Red Sprinter in order to have fun transforming it together, so that they could explore the country as soon as their schedule allows. After having rediscovered the happiness that traveling on four wheels brought in them, they wanted to share this flame by developing a project that would rally the Vanlife community in Quebec. And above all, they wanted to make this unique concept accessible to everyone.
David, a born entrepreneur who is used to bringing big projects to fruition, with creativity and seriousness, decided to set it all in motion. And that’s how VanLife MTL was born!

No choice to say Boston. Definitely my favorite destination for short road trips of a few days. Perfect for stopping off without having to go too far, plus you combine it all with a little trip to the sea via Hampton Beach.
Your dream roadtrip would be …
I would really like to go down to Louisiana. Pass through Nashville and go to New Orleans, see the bayous and drive on the River Road.
