The Co in LiVan Life Co and Why Community Matters

The Co in LiVan Life Co and Why Community Matters

Brad Scriven

When we dreamed up LiVan Life Co, the name came easily:

Li for Living, Van for the adventures ahead in our Sprinter, and Life for the freedom we’re chasing. But the part that matters most is the “Co.”

Because this isn’t just about us. It’s about community.

Why “Co” Means More Than Company

We chose “Co” because it stands for connection, collaboration, and collective experiences. Vanlife isn’t just about the road you drive or the meals you cook — it’s about the people you meet, the stories you share, and the way those connections shape the journey.

Every adventure is richer when it’s shared, whether that’s swapping recipes at a campsite, trading playlists on a long drive, or helping a fellow traveller with a flat tyre. The “Co” is a reminder that we’re not doing this alone, and neither are you.

Music, Flavour, Adventure, Together

LiVan Life Co is built around three pillars:

  • Music – This is an important part of our vision. We’re in the thick of planning to release content on our YouTube channel setting the vibe with soulful DJ sets and saxophone sessions. Watch out for future Blog releases about this process as its massive to get right.
  • Flavour – cooking healthy, simple, and delicious meals in tiny kitchens. Carol has so much knowledge to share here. Go check out her eBooks here
  • Adventure – exploring Australia, one beach, one backroad, and one campfire at a time.

But each of these things comes alive when shared. Music is better when it moves a crowd. Food is a memorable experience when cooked and shared with friends. Adventures mean more when you have stories to tell others.


A Journey We’re Sharing with You

We’re opening the doors to our journey. The ups, the lessons, and even the “wish we knew that sooner” moments. This blog is one way to do that. Our hope is that it sparks ideas, inspires your travels, or simply makes you feel part of something bigger.

From van build hacks to healthy meal prep, from soulful playlists to life on the road with Frankie the Frenchie, we’ll share the things that keep our wheels (and spirits) turning.


Join the Co

LiVan Life Co isn’t just our story, it’s yours too. We’d love for you to join the conversation:

  • Share your own vanlife tips and meal ideas.
  • Tell us the playlists that move you.
  • Let us know the adventures you’re chasing.

Because at the end of the day, the “Co” means you’re part of this too.


Thanks for being here at the start of the journey. Here’s to the road ahead. Full of good vibes, good food, and good company.
