Blogger shares internet options for vanlife

Chloe, creator of TikTok channel @furgoenlibertad, who lives in a 2-square-meter camper van with her dog and cat, outlined ways to secure internet for remote work. The basic option is unlimited mobile data with phone tethering, but it fails in remote areas. Alternatives include Starlink satellite internet with a pauseable subscription and a 4G/5G router with a SIM card that boosts signal. The monthly cost of vanlife in Spain ranges from €500 to €1,200, with initial investment for buying and converting a van between €20,000 and €70,000.
