Our Story
Building the free community map for life on the road — one spot, one vanlifer at a time.
Why Vanlifer Exists
Apps like park4night made finding a place to park life-changing for vanlifers — then came paywalls and clutter. Vanlifer was built to keep the essentials free: a clean community map of where to park, sleep and service your van.
We believe the best of van life happens off the beaten track — a quiet spot by the water, a tip from another traveller, a spontaneous meet-up at an aire. The map should help you find those moments, not sell them back to you.
Vanlifer is and will always be 100% free — not "free with limitations", not a free trial. Free, forever.
Our Values
Authenticity
Real connections over transactions. We encourage video calls, verified profiles, and honest reviews to build genuine trust.
Female Safety
Safety for women is non-negotiable. Our female-led hosting badges, safe spaces, and video call suggestions are central to everything we do.
Free Forever
We are funded by optional community support — never by user fees. Travel should be accessible to everyone regardless of budget.
Community First
Events, BFF matching, shared experiences — we're building a global community, not just an accommodation directory.
