7 Airbnb Trailers in the Philippines for the Van Life Experience

Quit your job. Sell everything you own. Move your life into a van. Travel the world. 

Does this outrageous scenario sound familiar to you? Like many travel enthusiasts, you might’ve also dreamt of embracing the #vanlife movement. After all, it’s become the benchmark of the Instagram dream life, with over 14 million hashtags on the social media platform as of writing.

Realistically speaking, however, #vanlife isn’t for everyone. With mouths to feed and bills to pay, most of us are committed to 9-to-5 jobs that require face-to-face meetings once in a while. But of course, this shouldn’t stop us from dreaming. In fact, experiencing the #vanlife is finally feasible for the regular folk, with Airbnb trailers in the Philippines finally popping up!

It’s true: You can finally get a taste of the nomadic lifestyle — even if you’re not quite ready to leave everything behind just yet. Test your mettle on the road with a staycation at these RV trailers in the Philippines that you can book on Airbnb.

But if we’re honest, we’ll probably be spending most of our time outside, anyway. A barbecue on the covered deck is an excellent way to bond with the family, while the hot tub offers a relaxing activity for stressed-out metro dwellers. If you’re lucky, you’ll be there on a clear night and the stars will be out in full force!
