I can’t get vanlife out of my head

I know I need to try it. It’s been years of constant searching and thinking about doing this. My only concerns are..

I’m struggling massively with some form of depression and I think it’s because of where I am in life, not some chemical imbalance. Maybe some childhood trauma thrown in there too..

I’m 36/m yesterday. Would I make friends? Is it too late? Has anyone took to the road in search of meaning and found it? Did it help?
