Tasks are waiting to be completed, credit card payments, bills, boring meetings, traffic jam, noise and crowd of the city, tragic news on TV, mundane daily routines and so on. No matter what our age is, time to time we all want to leave everything behind and imagine far peaceful places. Even if we have millions of dollar in our bank account, we might feel restless and nothing could make us happy. In such moments, we may dream of buying a van or VW Beetle, and going wherever it takes us. It may sound nonsense at first, but it’s worth trying, because there are many advantages of such an ‘escape’.
Canadian baseball player Daniel Norris is the one who has already made his ‘’escape’’ plan to have his own adventures. After he signed a contract with Toronto Blue Jays in 2011, he had 2 million dollars in his bank accounts. Contrary to famous players, he decided to buy a van and now he owns a 1978 model year VW. Then, he started to live in his yellowish van named ‘’Shaggy’’. Just by spending 800 dollars monthly, he prefers maintaining his adventurous life in a van to in a metropolitan, because he believes in the advantages of such an escape. Here are the advantages that lead you to think about the escape seriously!
1.You will discover your inner world.
2.You will enjoy leading a simple life.
3.You can realize that money can’t buy everything. Hidden beauties of the nature or extraordinary experiences, unforgettable moments… Yes, these are free of charge!

8.As you meet new people and lives, you will perceive that the world does not revolve around you. This helps you to get rid of focusing only on your self-interests.
9.Seeing hard living conditions of some of those people you meet in person can make you empathize with them and get involved in charity organizations.
