What we value about Romany Pirates is their approach which lines up closely with what we stand for at 2BOFFGRID.

Vanlife isn’t a fixed identity or a badge you earn. It looks different at different stages of life, and it means different things to different people. Emma and Reese don’t try to define it for anyone — they share what they’ve learned and leave space for you to take what’s useful and ignore the rest.

The video covers the practical realities, required & not required, and the quieter lessons that only come with time: how priorities change, how freedom feels different as years pass, and how living on the road isn’t always about movement. There’s no hype here, no pressure to “go full-time”, and no suggestion that this way of living is better than any other — just lived experience, spoken plainly.

That’s why we’re featuring this video. Not because it sells vanlife, but because it helps people understand it. Whether you’re full-time, part-time, a weekender, or just curious, this is the kind of long-view insight that’s worth listening to.
