The Lifestyle: Stories From People Building Life on Their Own Terms
The Lifestyle is where No. 925 documents what life looks like when you stop following someone else's script. Van life. Digital nomad work. Remote travel. The unsexy logistics nobody warns you about. The wins worth chasing. Real stories from people who are designing their lives instead of inheriting them.
Lifestyle Questions
What is van life really like?
Van life is part freedom, part logistics. The Instagram version skips the hard stuff. Our coverage focuses on real-world experience: how to do van life day-to-day, what nobody warns you about, how to manage remote work from a 60 square foot rolling office, and how to avoid the burnout that comes when adventure becomes a routine. Read our van life series for honest accounts.
Can I really work remotely while traveling?
Yes. Thousands of people do it. The constraints are real: time zones, internet reliability, productivity rhythms when your workspace changes weekly. Our remote work travel posts cover the logistics, the visas, the gear, and the mindset shifts. Start with our guide on how to travel while working remotely if you're early in the journey.
What is a digital nomad lifestyle?
Digital nomadism is location-independent work — typically remote roles in software, design, marketing, writing, or consulting — combined with international or domestic travel. We cover what the digital nomad lifestyle actually looks like beyond the Instagram version, including the financial realities, the loneliness, the visa logistics, and what makes it sustainable long-term.
How do you start van life or nomad life on a normal income?
You don't need a high salary. You need a low burn rate, a remote income source, and a willingness to start small. Many people start with a few months of part-time travel before going full-time. Our coverage includes practical paths in for people without trust funds or sponsorships.
What gear do I actually need for travel and remote work?
Less than influencers suggest. We cover the gear that actually earns its space — bags, hoodies, hats, and durable layers built for unpredictable weather and constant motion. No 925 makes apparel for people in this world: oversized hoodies, lightweight layers, dad hats, and crossbody bags designed for movement.
Why does No. 925 cover this lifestyle?
Because it's our customer base. The people buying No. 925 hoodies and dad hats are the same people pursuing intentional, location-flexible lives. Project 925, our giving initiative, also funds nonprofits aligned with veteran support, mental health, and environmental work — causes the lifestyle audience cares about.
Are these stories sponsored or paid?
No. We don't accept sponsored placements. Stories are sourced from real people in our community or written by our team based on direct experience. When we recommend gear or destinations, we're recommending what works.
